2019 Review +9.4%

Pretty poor performance this year from me. FTSE AS is up 18%, though the year is not quite over.

Beximco Pharma – Bangladeshi Pharma at a discount to local value

Got this idea from Mello stock slam.  I quite like it, bought a just under 3% weight at 42.9 earlier in the week.

This is a Bangladeshi Generic Pharma GDR listed on AIM.  There is a substantial discount to the listed Bangladeshi co which is trading at the UK equivalent of 74p – a c40% discount to the Bangladeshi company.

There have been lots of fly-by night overseas domiciled companies on AIM.  I don’t think this is one of them.  Firstly the sector is pharma – highly sensitive and regulated – not the ideal place to operate a scam.  Secondly, the company was founded in 1974 – so it has been going quite a while.  This is one of the biggest / most liquid companies in Bangladesh.
