Malachite Aggressive Preferred Fund’s Net Asset Value per Unit as of the close March 31, 2021, was $9.6473, after giving effect to a distribution of $0.095825.
This result is a 3.04% increase over the month (including dividend), vs. +1.83% for TXPR. Quarterly, the fund returned +16.06% vs. TXPR +8.84%. The fun figure is the trailing year’s result: the fund returned an astonishing +83.35% vs. +49.65% for TXPR. Don’t expect that every year! It is amusing to note the quarterly consistence of the fund’s return: it has returned between 16% and 17% for each of the past four quarters!
I have been ill and – given the time of year – many things have been delayed. I am endeavoring to catch up and will continue this post at a later date.
