  • Scottish Mortgage Faces Key Vote Amid SpaceX IPO Sell-Off and Private Market Limits
    June 21, 2026, 6:00 AM EDT. Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust's shares tumbled 5.29% after the record-breaking SpaceX IPO, reflecting a classic sell-the-news reaction. SpaceX now accounts for 21% of the trust's assets, pushing private holdings to 41.4%, well above the 30% limit. The trust's ability to sell is restricted by a 180-day lock-up on SpaceX shares, widening the discount to net asset value (NAV). On July 2, shareholders will vote on raising the private investment cap to legitimize the portfolio. Failure risks forced sales of key private stakes just before anticipated gains. Additionally, a share buyback authorization and a 4.3% dividend increase, marking 43 years of growth, are on the ballot. Management's recent buybacks aim to support the share price amidst structural challenges.
