CT UK Capital and Income has changed its name to CT Progressive Income (with same ticker of #CTUK) as the 3.7%-yielder looks to boost its appeal to income investors with a new target of paying dividends ahead of inflation. tinyurl.com/2ev2j4xj
LondonMetric Property #LMP has exchanged on the sale of the first office bought in its joint takeover of Picton Property Income with Schroder Real Estate #SREI. The all-share bid brought in £307m of assets, 83% in LMP's core area of logistics warehouses. tinyurl.com/5famm7cb
@QuotedData analyst Matthew Read said of the #LMP half-yr update: “The 5.8% annualised like-for-like rental income growth is compelling against a difficult backdrop for property markets, with rent reviews delivering a 17% uplift and logistics continuing to stand out.”
Baker Steel, the new manager of Golden Prospect Precious Metals #GPM, will contribute to the costs of the £85m specialist mining fund's move to the LSE Main Market this month, which should help broaden its appeal. tinyurl.com/5n8m626u
Montanaro European Smaller Companies #MTE has launched its third tender offer in 16 months, giving shareholders the chance to sell 5% of its shares at a 5% discount to net asset value. Shares in the £202m investment trust stand 8.7% below NAV. tinyurl.com/5n8m626u
@QuotedData senior analyst Matthew Read said: “#MTE's’ bi-annual tender offers are part of the board’s commitment to addressing the discount and improving liquidity for shareholders, alongside an active buyback programme and the previous management fee reduction.”

US Solar Fund #USF has given its potential buyer a second extension to complete due diligence on a portfolio whose 42 assets it has been assessing for five months. "Frustrating," says Matthew Read @QuotedData. quoteddata.com/2026/10/us-so…
AVI Japan Opportunity Trust #AJOT has launched its third uncapped annual tender offer, giving shareholders a chance to sell all their shares at a 2% discount to the value of its investments if they wish. quoteddata.com/2026/10/avi-j…
Matthew Read @QuotedData said: “While AJOT’s annual tender has clearly been a success [at keeping the discount narrow], we still think that 100% tender offers can leave a trust a hostage to fortune should the tender fall due at a time when markets have dislocated”.
