What it bought and sold
HOME is an interesting special situation with a NAV effectively comprised entirely of cash.
We then rebuilt most of the holding substantially lower than where we sold.
We sold the last of our position on the back of further discount tightening and NAV gains.
We sold out of BSIF at a price close to the bid price, generating an IRR of 54% (ROI of 22%).
We exited into the aggressive buyback programme that followed at a discount in the low-20%s, and re-introduced Oakley Capital Investments (OCI) to the portfolio at what we believed to be a highly anomalous discount in the high-30%s.

The shares came to market in mid-May and performed so strongly that we had exited the position by the end of the quarter for a 31% gain, taking the view that an opportunity is likely to arise at some point in the future to buy back in at a wider discount to NAV.
With several returns of capital, however, the position is now a much smaller part of the portfolio, and we watch with interest to see if newly installed directors, Robert Naylor and Christopher Mills, can repeat their prior success in resolving difficult corporate situations.
