Ocean Wilsons (OCN-LN) Replace – Error within the NAV calculation

Disclaimer: This isn’t funding recommendation. The man who’s penning this has issues distinguishing USD and GBP. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH !!!

A pleasant reader alerted me that I made an error within the Ocean Wilson Particular Scenario NAV calculation. I appear to have gotten confused by the truth that Ocean Wilson studies in USD. I did translate the Wilson and Sons stake into GBP however not the funding portfolio. As a substitute of 319,6 mn GBP, the funding portfolio is value 319,6 mn USD which equates ~ 239,7 mn GBP

So the preliminary calculation ought to have quite regarded like this:

The anticipated return is a full -8% decrease than inititally (and wrongly) calculated. Nonetheless not dangerous, however clearly much less advantageous.

Based mostly on this, I decreased the positon to a ~1% place.

I’m deeply sorry for this error and a giant because of the reader who alerted me. Going ahead I’ll should be extra dilligent for these calculations-

One different comment: A reader congratulated that my put up has moved the inventory worth. This isn’t my intent for the weblog. I attempt to keep away from writing about illiquid shares as some readers have a tendency to not learn the posts and appear to blindly purchase. With Ocean Wilson, I used to be very stunned how illiquid this 500 mn Market cap inventory really is. For me it is a good lesson for the long run that I don’t write a lot about illiquid shares. I depart that to others.
