Edison issues review on Jupiter UK Growth Investment Trust (JUKG)

Jupiter UK Growth Investment Trust (JUKG) aims to generate long-term capital growth, primarily through investing in UK-listed equities. With few investment constraints, the manager, Steve Davies focuses on fundamental stock selection to build a concentrated portfolio of around 35 investments. Active engagement with companies' chairmen and non-executive directors is a key part of the investment process, and contributes significantly towards the manager's level of conviction. Davies believes stock-market drivers are changing as several big investment themes come to an end. He expects stock-picking to come back into focus and JUKG should be well-placed in this environment. On 30 November, the rollover of Jupiter Dividend & Growth Trust (JDG) into JUKG resulted in an increase in assets of GBP24.6m and the issue of 7.8m new shares.

JUKG consistently trades close to its NAV; at 11 May its discount to cum-income NAV was 2.7%. It is one of just two trusts in its sector to follow a nil-discount policy, introduced in 2014. The dividend yield of 2.0% is average among peers.
