Babcock Price Fall, Segro Placing, TR Property

I said in a previous blog post “that I tend to avoid FTSE-100 companies as their share prices are driven by professional analysts’ comments, by geo-political concerns, by general economic trends and by commodity prices. You can buy a FTSE-100 company and soon find it’s going downhill because one influential analyst has decided its prospects are not as they previously thought”. Indeed that is exactly what happened after I made a recent purchase of Babcock International (BAB). Soon after, Shore Capital Markets ...

Property Companies and TR Property AGM

Yesterday I attended the Annual General Meeting of TR Property Investment Trust (TRY). I have held shares in this company for a long time, and it’s always useful to attend their AGM as you get a useful update on trends in the property market from the fund manager (Marcus Phayre-Mudge of late). As he mentioned, the fact that they hold property directly, as well as holding shares in property companies gives them a unique insight into the state of the market. Apart ...

TR Property AGM 2022

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 ...

TR Property Trust (TRY) AGM Report 2015

The AGM at the RAC on 21 July was well attended; there is a good lunch. The formal part of the business was over in about 17 minutes after which the Manager, Marcus Phayre-Mudge, made his generally optimistic presentation. The Chairman stopped questions dead on 1 pm even though the lady with the mike was standing at my side ready for me to ask my question. Following my correspondence with her last year (reported in Informer) I asked the Chairman why the ...

TR Property Investment Trust (TRY) General Meeting Report 2012

I attended the three General Meetings of TR Property Investment Trust today – to approve the merger of the Ordinary and Sigma funds. This required three separate meetings – one for all shareholders and two for the separate class members, but only one resolution in each. There were 6 shareholders present, other than the directors, which is more than I expected to see. The Chairman, Peter Salsbury, opened the meeting by summarising the arguments in favour of the proposals. I won’t repeat ...
