With more and more people using streaming services such as Netflix, Prime, NowTV etc. and more still using catch-up services like Sky Plus the value of ITV's advertising revenue can only reduce.

Their JV with the BBC to roll out repeats to order seems singly unadventurous.

If the plan is to average down then it surely has to be supported by something other than the arbitrary hope it will one day rise or be taken over.

For me, it's a NO.

Whilst I agree with large parts of an6pan6y's post, it should also be noted that ITV still hold great IP and appointment viewing brands, which no amount of streaming services are going to replace anytime soon.

There is much work to do with their online / streaming services and I don't think BritBox is anywhere near as radical as it needed to be, but Coronation Street / Emmerdale / I'm A Celebrity / Love Island / Ant n Dec stuff etc are still hugely desirable for advertisers.

It's not without risk, but then what isn't? I think it's worth sticking it to a vote: we're due 2.5% ish back on the investment in a divi in late October and if there is a Brexit agreement that can shore up the UK market (which is still the most likely outcome despite what Boris says) then I think it could recover some of the ground it has lost.

Let's put it to a vote with a few more options and see what we choose.

But you do get a dividend and the average price is reduced if and when you decide to sell some or all of the holding. But if there was a vote and if I was a member I would have to think carefully about it of course.

Hargreaves Lansdown are slow on the ball. The ShareCast Press Tips haven't been published on the Hargreaves Lansdown website yet.

However, all is not lost. I am ever present. I have for my fellow imutual Cashback Investment Club members sourced the required information from the original authority.
Sunday share tips: Rathbone Brothers, Pure Gold Mining

18 Aug, 2019 17:40

rathbone brothers liverpool
In her ‘Inside the City’ column for the Sunday Times, Emma Dunkley was looking at wealth management firm Rathbone Brothers, describing the £1.2bn company as a “marauding hunter” in a sector increasingly divided between hunters and prey.

She said the company - which began life as a Liverpool timber merchant in 1742 - was “on the prowl” for deals, having stalked Smith & Williamson a couple of years back, before talks broke down in 2017.

Last year, it gobbled up one of Scotland’s largest independent wealth managers Speirs & Jeffrey, adding £6.7bn in assets and almost 40 investment professionals to its team.

However, Dunkley described the need to remain on the hunt for other targets was “pressing”, given Rathbone’s discretionary wealth management arm was a mature business, making new organic growth hard to find with net fund outflows totalling £100m in the first half.

Profit margins were healthy, at the upper end of the industry, but that meant there wasn’t much room to manoeuvre, she wrote.

Indeed, the wealth management space had become quite crowded, with Rathbone’s rivals including the likes of Brewin Dolphin, Brooks Macdonald and Charles Stanley.

Investors were more reticent to take risks with their cash in such an uncertain geopolitical and economic climate, and fees remained under constant pressure from the likes of cheap index-tracking funds.

Dunkley did note that Rathbone’s smaller unit trust business was seeing more rapid growth, with funds under management there ahead 11.7% in the first half.

But that division only accounted for £4.5m of profits, compared to the £42.2m the discretionary wealth management unit’s £42.2m.

The two divisions combined, however, did boast a record £49.2bn in funds under management at the end of June, Dunkley noted.

She said the company was well-placed for more acquisitions under its new management team, pointing to new finance chief Jennifer Mathias from EFG Private Bank as an appointment that was met with wide approval from analysts.

The market was eagerly awaiting a “strategy refresh” from that new management team, which also included new chief executive Paul Stockton, who was elevated from the finance director position in May.

Shore Capital analysts had recently said that would need to deliver a “credible” plan in order to “re-stimulate” organic growth.

“The shares are at £21.70, down a tenth over the past year, with a dividend yield of 3%,” said Emma Dunkley.

“Rathbones may be one of the predators, but questions hang over growth prospects as Brexit bites. Hold.”

Over in the Mail on Sunday, Joanne Hart was looking at the market’s oldest safe haven asset - gold - given the increasing fears of a global recession, and the face the price of the sparkly stuff had risen 20% this year alone.

She said such a situation did not just benefit investors with a few bars of 24-carat under their mattress, but also gold mining companies, with the bounce in interest for the metal coming at an ideal time for Pure Gold Mining.

The Canada-based, London listed company recently secured $90m in funding from its countryman Sprott, which specialises in financing small miners.

That cash injection was described by Hart as a “ringing endorsement” of Pure Gold’s project at Madsen Red Lake in the eastern province of Ontario.

Construction there had now begun, with the company expecting production to start by the end of 2020 and to be spitting out 100,000 ounces per annum by 2022 - a speed that Hart said was “unusual”, but was explained by the fact that Madsen Red Lake is an existing, mothballed mine.

It was shuttered when the previous owners were facing financial challenges, with Pure Gold snapping it up at a hefty discount.

The project had a number of points in its favour, with Ontario’s long history as a mining province providing a decent pool of skilled, local labour, and Madsen’s status as a mothballed mine meaning much of the infrastructure - including the processing plant - was already in place.

Permits were also already there, with the company also reaching an agreement with local indigenous groups to help the project move forward smoothly.

Hart described the rock as “unusually rich” as well, explaining that it yielded eight grams of gold per tonne of rock, compared with one to two grams in many other mines.

“The mine exists, the money is there to build it and the company is run by highly experienced industry veterans,” Joanne Hart wrote.

“The group also counts mining giants AngloGold Ashanti and Newmont Goldcorp as shareholders.

“The shares are 41p and should go higher as Pure Gold moves towards production. Buy.”
