spp plus a dividend, page-5

The discount been usually 2.5% or 5% correct for most SPP and would not expect this to be any different.

I've started to look at these again.
and some thoughts

- looking back at an article from Eureka Report in Oct2007 (OLD) it stated that most LIC has not managed to outperform ASX 300. Be happy to send it to anyone if they are interested (data was based on the ASX Website).

Currently
- seems that ARG, AFI are all trading above NTA
- AUI and MLT at NTA and CHO more or less the same.

I wonder, do ppl invest in this as an alternative to an index fund (given it's low MER etc)? Do T2T and others invest with the believe it will out perform or equal to the ASX/ ASX 200/ASX300 etc?
