About Momentum Multi-Asset Value Trust plc

Momentum Multi-Asset Value Trust plc ("MAVT" or the "Trust") is a UK investment trust, listed on the London Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation of £62.6m (as at 16 November 2021). The Trust was previously known as Seneca Global Income & Growth Trust plc.

MAVT is managed by Momentum Global Investment Management which has a boutique culture and more than 20 years' experience in multi-asset and value investing.  The Trust's management team employs a "refined value" bottom up, deeply researched investment approach. Value investing is a process which is traditionally applied to equity investment. MAVT's manager seeks to refine and apply the value identification process across a highly diversified range of asset classes, including global equities, credit and specialist assets (such as property, infrastructure, financial investment vehicles, private equity and music royalties), and defensive assets (such as gold), seeking the most compelling investment opportunities wherever they can be found. Responsible investment considerations also form an integral part of the investment philosophy and ESG considerations are implemented throughout the investment process. MAVT is a high conviction portfolio, typically comprising approximately 60 holdings across the range of asset classes. 

Over a typical investment cycle of between 5 and 10 years, MAVT seeks to achieve a total return of at least CPI plus 6% per annum after costs with low volatility and aims to increase the dividends paid to shareholders at least in line with inflation.
