Highcroft Investments

I’ve bought into the nice steady, safe and secure - in relative terms for an equity investor - business of Highcroft Investments (LSE:HCFT) at £8.75 for my net current asset value portfolio. It buys commercial property, mostly large warehouses, retail warehouses or offices, and rents them out to the likes of Booker, British Airways, Parcel Force and the BBC. 
It pays shareholders 90% of net property (rental) income in dividends because it is a Real Estate Investment Trust (The tax benefits of REIT are explained at the end of the newsletter). For 2020 Highcroft had a net property income of £3.5m or 67.7p per share and paid out to shareholders £2.95m or 57p per share. Dividend yield is 57p/875p = 6.5%.
The market capitalisation is £45.3m (£8.75 x 5.18m shares). However, my calculation of net current asset value (including all property) is £56.78m or £10.96 per share. The gap between NCAV and price plus the substantial proven annual income and dividend flow allow me to feel comfortable that there is a good margin of safety (income and dividend history are discussed in the next newsletter).
Net current asset value, NCAV
If I was to stick strictly to Ben Graham’s definition of NCAV I would only look at those assets officially designated as “current” and then deduct one-fifth of receivables. This gives only £7.9m.
However, Highcroft regularly trades its properties so, even though they are technically non-current assets, I’m going to include them here in my intrinsic value estimation. ………………To read more subscribe to my premium newsletter Deep Value Shares – click here http://newsletters.advfn.com/deepvalueshares/subscribe-1

    I'm a full-time investor running my portfolio from peaceful Leicestershire countryside. I also happen to be UK´s best selling investment book author and a Financial Times Best selling author.

    Originally, I wrote all my ideas out in full on this website. Now that ADVFN publish them they are entitled to display the full version for six months – you can see them here. Thus can I only post the first few paragraphs here for anything younger than six months.

    I write 2 to 3 newsletters per week - investing is about making the right decisions, not many decisions.

In the short-run, the market is a voting machine – reflecting a voter-registration test that requires only money, not intelligence or emotional stability – but in the long-run, the market is a weighing machine.  Benjamin Graham
