A closed ended mutual fund can trade at a premium or discount to its NCAV (value of its underlying securities). Royce Value Trust paid a 10% distribution until 2009 when the distribution was suspended because RVT managers thought the distribution allocation would provide higher returns in the discounted market place. The suspension of the distribution caused the 10% premium placed on the trust to fade to a 15% discount. RVT fund managers have already said in their annual letter that they plan to reinstate the dividend when the market cools off. The 15% discount should at least return to NCAV for a 15% gain in stock price. The 15% gain will be followed with RVT’s market beating value strategy and a yearly distribution of around 10%.

This is one of those unspectacular finds, that makes money. Small cap growth funds took a beating last year and Royce is no exception. Where there is loss there is value to be found. This is not a double your money overnight stock, but it is another solid play that should perform well.

Royce Funds run a clean operation. They consistently find small cap winners.
