A number of years ago, Ian Woolley and I wrote a series of articles attempting to debunk some of the jargon that afflicts the world of investment and financial markets*. In one of these, we tackled the issue of what it is that defines a ‘bull’ or ‘bear’ market.

At Hawksmoor we specialise in providing high quality discretionary management services for Private Investors (and clients of Professional Advisers) including trusts, pension schemes and charities. We also manage Multi Asset Funds-of-funds and a series of risk-based ‘Model Portfolios’ for Financial Advisers.

Buying back shares is nothing to do with narrowing the discount and everything to do with enhancing NAV per share and allocating capital efficiently.
