Glossary of Terms and Definitions - continued Benchmark return Total return on the benchmark, on a mid-market value to mid-market value basis, assuming that all dividends received were reinvested in the shares of the underlying companies at the time the shares were quoted ex-dividend. The benchmark is a recognised index of stocks which should not be taken as wholly representative of the Company s investment universe. The Company s investment strategy does not follow or track this index and consequently, there may be some divergence between the Company s performance and that of the benchmark. Gearing/Net cash Gearing represents the excess amount above shareholders funds of total assets, expressed as a percentage of the shareholders funds. Total assets include total investments and net current assets/liabilities less cash/cash equivalents and excluding bank loans of less than one year. If the amount calculated is negative, this is shown as a net cash position. Ongoing charges The ongoing charges represent the Company s management fee and all other operating expenses, excluding finance costs, expressed as a percentage of the average of the daily net assets during the year. Share price discount/premium to net asset value ( NAV ) If the share price of an investment trust is lower than the NAV per share, the shares are is said to be trading at a discount. The discount is shown as a percentage of the NAV. The opposite of a discount is a premium. It is more common for an investment trust s shares to trade at a discount than at a premium.
