after the Hayne Royal Commission outcome , i will NOT be pursuing ESG approaches , because the Royal Commission highlighted a failure in many large corporations , poor corporate governance , and lacklustre regulatory oversight , so what chance 'sustainability' in an ever-changing world is a valid investment mantra .
i hope the investment team at WHF ( and all other LICs ) stay with straight sensible investment strategies , and not choose the latest fashion to attract new capital inflows .
you make yourself look like an amateur, bud. - (aimed at divs4eva ... I have put him on ignore_i bet some experienced fund guys could make me look like an amateur

Yes & no & then again maybe (?). For the long term buy & hold investor with a preference for LICs, well, SOL is not an LIC, also if they have a holding of SOL this merger will increase their % of SOL which they might not be happy with. Plus is that MLT share price jumped from trading below NTA to well above NTA. Seems many or some chose to sell triggering capital gains, which some are not happy with unless in super in pension mode, then decision as to where to re-invest. For those who hold, they are swapping MLT at a smaller premium to NTA for SOL which it appears, has NTA of $22 or thereabouts with share price around $30 ( I could look this up for better accuracy, but I won't).Looks like MLT holders got the short end of the stick by my reading.
Think it's on their website in the report that this will be taken into consideration. Will attempt to look this up sometime & post a link if I can.and another thing
Coming across this statement:
just not sure the WHF collar allows this

Thus 'short end of the stick'? Good if you're happy to sell,nice profit, bad for all the other reasons.
I've been looking at it. The WHF prescription seems to call mining out as unfriendly to the environment. ... I have no idea what that means, by the way. - and they won't own mining stocks.Think it's on their website in the report that this will be taken into consideration.

Whitefield's ESG approach is both strategic through the exclusion of Resource stocks, and tactical through our quantitative assessment
Exactly so.I've been looking at it. The WHF prescription seems to call mining out as unfriendly to the environment. ... I have no idea what that means, by the way. - and they won't own mining stocks.
I am amazed at such a statement. The whole thrust to a decarbonised future is through so called green solutions, and these seem very much dependent on technology based on things like rare earths, lithium, minerals like Ni, Co etc. And the absolute irony is these resources need to be extracted, as they exist in 1% type concentrations and involve complex metallurgical processes to extract. To get to a lower CO2 world involves orders of magnitude more effort.
Basically, WHF are signalling their virtue.
ESG should not be solely about environmental issues either
AND if it is it shouldn't be a major theme in investment decisions
to me ESG is a well run business that doesn't leave a cess-pit behind ( when it uses bankruptcy to avoid the clean-ups )
This change seeks to highlight that the company invests solely in the Industrial segment of the market (being all industries other than Resources). This investment approach provides investors with a broad exposure to the Australian economy, an emphasis on sustainable, non-extractive industries and a 60% lower carbon emissions intensity than the ASX200.
