Thanks for the advice Sparky and CJ. You've given me some things to think about.
I did have a larger MLN holding earlier in the year, and I sold about 70% of it in May.
I thought I'd hold on to a few in case markets rise, but somehow MLN has fallen in a rising market.

Out as of today. That will be the last time I invest in a fund with the Fisher name attached.

Problem winner is that it is not a dividend, it is really a capital return

That Carmel performs wonders, doesn't she?
In 3 years, MSCI index up 21.9% but Marlin's NAV is down 3.8%, and shareholders' returns up 2.0%.
But her management returns = 2.0%+ so unit holders, no smoked marlin for you - only canned mackerel (used by date 15 March 2010).
You put in the money, you take the risk and she eats the crayfish and caviar with champagne, irrespective!

Marlin looking a bit better?
Price picked up the last few days and currently 75cps against NAV hitting 90cps. Given they still pay out 2% of NAV per quarter as div, then it's good to see NAV also rising. I have been buying at 70-73cps over past few months, as the regular high yield, 17% discount to NAV and additional diversification (i.e. exposure to markets I'm not interested in investing in directly) are all pluses for the long-term, income generating portfolios.

To continue the fishy theme, isn't that a red herring as you will (probably) suffer a 17% discount to NAV when you sell as well.

I probably not - the discount to NAV changes all the time for some reason that I don't know of. The large 17% discount to NAV indicates people aren't very confident in the managers re Marlin - and for good reason. There may be upside potential if confidence is restored through some solid and consistent performance - then not only the NAV will be higher, but should trade at a narrower discount also.
But at the same time, the large discount will mean the yield is better, since the quarterly div/distribution is based on the higher NAV rather than the share price. So as an income stock it should be quite good.
Regarding arguments that this dividend is actually a capital redistribution - does it matter at all? From the finance perspective where it focuses on cash flows: cash flows are cash flows regardless of where this comes from.
I've never actually considered Marlin since I don't really know anything about their investments (and too lazy to). I've always considered KFL to be the better of the three brothers.
