The Sprott Focus Trust (FUND) is a closed-end fund managed by Whitney George, yielding 6% and currently trading at nearly a 10% discount to its net asset value (NAV). The fund has a diverse portfolio, focusing on energy stocks and small-cap companies, including major players like ExxonMobil and Westlake Corp. Over the last three years, FUND’s annualized total NAV return is approximately 14.4%, significantly outpacing the required return to maintain its dividend.
This fund has demonstrated resilience during market downturns, including the pandemic when it only briefly went negative despite a 50% loss in energy stock benchmarks. As the discount to NAV slowly narrows, it is anticipated that the fund will continue to provide sizable special dividends on top of its regular payouts, posing a lucrative opportunity for investors in the coming years.
