Benefits of investing in NSC

LICs are a viable and well established alternative to managed funds and direct equity holdings as they provide investors with a great way to achieve diversification, whilst providing the transparency and ease of administration of a listed security.

The key characteristics of LICs that we believe make them an attractive investment alternative include:

Ease of administration

LICs offer investors ease of administration. There is little to no paperwork involved with investing in a LIC if individuals already have share trading accounts established (for example, Commsec, ETRADE etc.)

High degree of transparency

LICs offer investors a high degree of transparency, as they are governed by the ASX's corporate governance and reporting requirements.

Regularity and consistency of income stream

LICs are structured to maximize effectiveness when it comes to the consistency and regularity of dividend payments.

Closed ended

LICs are closed end' in nature, meaning they are not forced sellers' to meet the withdrawal demands of investors. Investors simply buy and sell shares in LICs from each other through the stock exchange.

No requirement for full investment

There is no requirement for LICs to be fully invested at all times, unlike many unlisted funds, providing LIC managers with the flexibility of holding high levels of cash to hedge their portfolios at appropriate times.
