A reminder the Snowball owns mainly Investment Trusts where the aim is to provide a ‘secure’ dividend, although no dividend is ever completely secure.
If the Trust is trading at a discount to NAV there may be an opportunity to take some of Mr. Markets money and re-invest it in a higher yielder to grow your Snowball but this is only a secondary consideration
For any new readers, the rules for the Snowball.
There are only 3
One.
Buy Investment Trusts that pay a ‘secure’ dividend and use those dividends to buy more Trusts that pay a ‘secure’ dividend.
Two
Any Trust that drastically changes it’s dividend policy, must be sold, even at a loss.
Three
Remember the Rules.
