Introduction
I travelled to London today, 26th April, to attend the RCP AGM. Given that I’m now living in the north of England I don’t attend many London AGMs anymore, but I thought this one would be interesting… and so it proved.
RCP has come under severe criticism from some quarters in recent months, due to poor performance in 2022. The discount to NAV at which the shares trade has ...
Today (1/2/2023) I attended the two Baronsmead VCT AGMs (BMD and BVT) via a Zoom webinar, partly because of the train strikes today but partly because I did not expect any momentous events or questions to take place, and so it turned out. But they did get a number of shareholders attending in person despite the train strikes.
However despite me registering for the event some weeks ago I did not receive a zoom invite and had to chase that up just ...
Yesterday I attended the Annual General Meeting of JPMorgan Global Growth and Income Plc (JGGI). This is a global investment trust as the name implies and the meeting was a “hybrid” AGM with a number of shareholders present in person but I attended on-line. Questions could be posed on-line but voting was only via proxy in advance for those attending on-line. I found this a perfectly satisfactory arrangement.
The meeting commenced with a presentation from the managers after brief words from the ...

On 1st August I set out early for a long drive to Hull to attend Cranswick’s AGM. Though I had met Cranswick’s management some years previously at an investor event London, this was the first of their AGMs that I had attended. Given its out of the way location, at a hotel in the Hull suburbs (but close to Cranswick’s HQ), I thought it would be rather a small affair. I was, however, pleasantly surprised: Cranswick had booked a substantial reception ...
I attended the Annual General Meeting of Northern 2 VCT (NTV) today (10/8/2022). This is a Venture Capital Trust with a decent long-term performance but last year the total return was only 0.8% after a very good prior year.
I made some negative comments two years ago about how the AGM at this company was run – I called it “totally undemocratic”, and that didn’t really change this year. This was a “hybrid” AGM in that there were a few shareholders in ...
Today (28/07/2022) I attended the Annual General Meeting of GB Group (GBG) via the Lumi online platform. This worked well as one could both submit questions and vote via the platform. It appeared there were few attendees either physically or on-line as I was the only person who submitted any questions.
I asked why not all directors were up for re-election which is now considered best practice. The answer from the Company Secretary was that this was not a requirement for AIM ...
Today (26/07/2022) there were two Annual General Meetings for companies in which I hold shares – TR Property Investment Trust (TRY) and Telecom Plus (TEP), both of which are long-standing holdings. I didn’t manage to attend either physically because I had an appointment at Guy’s Hospital in the morning.

The AGM for Telecom Plus was also run as a hybrid meeting. There was a resolution put to the meeting to revise the ...
Today (26/07/2022) there were two Annual General Meetings for companies in which I hold shares – TR Property Investment Trust (TRY) and Telecom Plus (TEP), both of which are long-standing holdings. I didn’t manage to attend either physically because I had an appointment at Guy’s Hospital in the morning.
However I did manage to log in to watch most of the TRY meeting including the manager’s presentation by Marcus Phayre-Mudge which was very interesting. I’ll only cover a few points as you ...
This report represents the author's views and interpretation of the AGM proceedings. It does not comprise verbatim notes.
To maintain a diverse investment portfolio and as an income-focused investor, I have a target of 9% allocated to fixed income securities. For quite some time, I was way below this allocation, as I saw few attractive opportunities in this asset class. More recently, my attention was drawn to Invesco’s BIPS investment company. BIPS invests in high yield corporate bonds. It offers a diverse ...

Introduction
I attended the Tesco AGM on Friday 17 June 2022 which was held at the Tesco Head Office in Welwyn Garden City. About 200 people attended, which included quite a few employees (my guess c 50). There are 227,285 ...
