City of London Investment Management Company Limited operates from four centers, London, Philadelphia (established 1995), Singapore (established 2000) and Dubai (established 2007), managing assets primarily for institutional investors.

In 2002 and 2003 the investment team started to delve deeper into the stages of country development from "developing" to "developed", especially China and India, and the implications thereof, namely, the rise in the consumption of natural resources.

In 2004, using our in-house equities team, we launched the Natural Resources strategy in order to capitalise on the growing demand for natural resources via a stock selection process.

In 2005, we extended our emerging markets expertise into the frontier markets by launching the Frontier Emerging Markets strategy.

In 2009, we applied our unrivaled knowledge of closed-end funds around the world to the development of a Global Closed-End Fund strategy, using the same investment process as in our Emerging Markets Closed-End Fund strategy.

In 2010, our equity team launched the Emerging Market Equity strategy which aims to achieve long term capital growth from investing in companies which derive the majority of their profits from the emerging economies. The strategy provides diversified global emerging markets exposure, although sector and country allocation will be actively managed and stock selection will reflect a strong thematic overlay.

Stopped out for a satisfying profit...not forgetting some good divvies along the way.

Although looking like a buy - I wonder if this is Barry?

Barry Olliff has now fulfilled the first tranche of his intended share sales, as (most recently) published in the June 2014 report and accounts. The current intention remains to sell 500,000 at £4.00 and 500,000 at £4.50.

Mr Olliff's resultant shareholdingin the Company following the transaction is 2,630,000Ordinary Shares, constituting 9.8% of the Company's issued share capital.

Stopped out with my remaining trance now, so good luck to all still in.

Don't understand why your out at this stage stan, if Barry is confident the sp will climb to 400 and 450p??

Only reason BB is that I need the cash for something else, otherwise I would probaly still be in.

City of London Investment Group
First quarter trading update
City of London issued a trading statement this morning about their first quarter performance. Funds under management were $3.6bn as of the end of September. This is down on the $4.2bn as of the end of June, but slightly ahead of the last figure given with the annual results of $3.5bn. Profitability in the first quarter was £1.2m after tax. As well as weak markets weighing on fees, they have had an adverse effect on the company’s seed investment holdings, which has led to an unrealised loss of £0.2m.

Pipeline: The company indicates that the pipeline of potential mandates is still good, with $750m across all its main product areas. It is expected that this will give net gains of at least $250m over the next 6-9 months. We’d suggest in the current market environment timing will inevitably have some uncertainty.

Costs: Overall costs overall were in line with expectations at £0.8m per month before profit share. City of London has shown in the past it can cut the fixed cost base when markets are challenging, and has indicated that it is about to do so again.

Valuation: The shares have gone ex-dividend today. The prospective P/E of 15.0 times is a discount to the peer group. The yield of 7.2% is very attractive and should at the very least provide support for the shares in the current volatile markets.
Risks: To date City of London has not experienced the sorts of outflows that some other emerging market fund managers have, aided by its good performance and strong client servicing. Further EM volatility may increase that risk.

Investment summary: City of London has continued to show robust performance in challenging market conditions. The valuation remains reasonable. Without a market recovery the dividend may be uncovered in 2016, but with over £10m of cash the company can easily cover the £0.4m gap that current market levels imply.

Financial summary and valuation:

Just in profit due to the good dividend.

As skinny said, seems straight moderate talking and I will hold for a while longer expecting continued div and some slow price gain.
