AVI Global Trust is a closed-end investment trust established in 1889 to generate profits for shareholders by investing in the shares of other companies. The trust, formerly known as British Empire Trust, is managed by Asset Value Investors, which was appointed as investment manager in 1985. Its investment strategy focuses on identifying valuation anomalies in global holding companies, closed-end funds, and asset-backed companies, aiming to build a concentrated portfolio of stocks trading at a discount to their net asset value. The trust engages with portfolio companies to improve shareholder value and unlock intrinsic value. It serves investors seeking exposure to global equity opportunities across various regions, including Latin America, Africa, and Emerging Europe, based on the location of underlying assets. The trust is part of a broader fund family managed by Asset Value Investors, which also includes AVI Global Special Situations, AVI Japan Opportunity Trust, MIGO Opportunities Trust, and WS AVI Worldwide Opportunities Fund.
