Investment trust Baillie Gifford Shin Nippon has announced a buyback offer for up to 15% of its ordinary shares and has convened a general meeting on 18 February 2026 to seek shareholder approval. Eligible shareholders may tender shares at the net asset value per share as at the record date of 6 March 2026, less offer costs and a 2% discount; the final tender price and settlement are planned for mid‑March. The move follows a change in leadership and extensive portfolio adjustments since May 2025 as well as continued underperformance; the trust has recently lagged its benchmark by 31.6%. The board also proposes cancelling a planned 2027 offer, introducing a performance‑linked buyback for 2030 and holding a continuation vote in 2028. » Altro su de.investing.com
