<title>Re:</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Yes but this discussion board has never been what you could call active. LFI and its offspring Western Selection have been very disappointing over the last decade. There are two reasons why I am holding on. Firstly it would be tricky to sell them. Secondly they do stand at a sizeable discount to asset value particularly if you 'see through' to the underlying asset value of Western Selection. <br>
<br>
The problem is that the investment portfolio never seems to fire on more than a couple of cylinders at any one time. I think in future there will be more focus on special situations and a reduction in the size of the pointless general portfolio. I live in hope that Mr Marshall gets bored with it and decides to buy out the Western Selection minority and then liquidates LFI but I guess it will all depend on him getting his money out of South Africa.

<title>summary</title>
<description><![CDATA[ London Finance &amp; Investment (Lonfin) has announced that in the four months to 31 October net assets increased by 21% from 23.3p to 28.3p per share, due to an increase of 29% in the value of &quot;strategic investments&quot;, and of 10% in its &quot;general portfolio&quot;. <br>
<br>
&quot;It is disappointing that the price of the company's shares continues to trade at a significant discount to the NAV [net asset value] per share&quot;, Lonfin said. However, the improvement in the prospects for investment companies is likely to continue, the company believes.<br>
