The Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust has earned gross profits of £53,000 since its stock lending programme began.
The new stock lending programme is managed by the trust’s custodian, State Street. It “adds modestly to income”, according to the trust’s 2016 annual report, which covers the 12 months to 31 January 2016.
The report states that all loans are fully collateralised with cash (GBP, USD or EUR). The trust currently holds £37.7 million of collateral for its £36.6 million worth of investments available for stock lending.
Martin Currie has also paid £13,000 in fees for its stock loan programme.
The portfolio is managed by Tom Walker, who has overseen it since 2000.
Neil Gaskell, chairman of Martin Currie, said in his foreword for the trust’s 2016 annual report: “Any stock loans are fully collateralised and do not affect the management of the portfolio by Tom Walker.”
