Business
Asia Dragon Trust plc is a UK-listed investment trust that invests in a diversified portfolio of listed companies across Asia and Australasia, excluding Japan, with the objective of achieving long-term capital growth and income through net asset value total return exceeding the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index; its core offerings include equity investments in high-growth sectors such as technology, consumer goods, financials, and industrials, targeting undervalued franchises via fundamental analysis and flexible portfolio management. Founded in 1987 and historically headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, the trust operates primarily in the Asia Pacific region, focusing on markets like China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, serving institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to emerging Asian growth opportunities. In a major strategic development, the trust completed a merger with Invesco Asia Trust plc in February 2025, under which Invesco acquired approximately £544 million in assets from Asia Dragon in exchange for new shares, leading to the combined entity's rebranding as Invesco Asia Dragon Trust plc with ticker IAD.L and suspension of DGN.L trading; this transaction, approved by shareholders on 13 February 2025, positioned the enlarged vehicle as the largest in its AIC sector with a net asset value exceeding £730 million, while the original Asia Dragon entity entered liquidation.
