Absolute Return profile and why equities face a tough 2015: Trustnet Magazine out now

24 November 2014

Our magazine has a new name and a new feel, this month focusing on products that can protect you against the downside.

Markets have rebounded aggressively since the autumn sell-off, but only the most bullish investors are expecting a smooth ride in 2015.

This issue of Trustnet Magazine concentrates on downside protection, not least because of the numerous macro headwinds facing investors in the coming months. Pádraig Floyd highlights three of these in our cover story; impending interest rate rises, political upheaval in the UK and rumblings of another eurozone crisis.

What are investors to do? Absolute return funds, which attempt to deliver a positive return no matter what way the bond and equity markets are going, have come in for a lot of stick in recent years, but there's no doubt they have a place in investors' portfolios if picked in the right way.

Elsewhere, we highlight some of the FTSE stocks that can help investors against the downside and provide a sustainable, growing income at the same time, and home in on some of the UK's best-performing funds including Trojan Income and Premier Multi-Asset Monthly Income.
