The scene is particularly challenging for income investors, with recent research from Capita suggesting that dividend growth will be very difficult to come by in light of dwindling growth and company earnings, and a stronger sterling.
A stable source of income is harder to find than ever, so in this – the first issue of our newly rebranded magazine – we examine one type of vehicle which has paid consistent dividends for decades: investment trusts.
It’s not only dividends that are unpredictable. The Scottish referendum showed just how split the nation is politically, and with the general election less than 12 months away, we look at how investors can protect themselves from the uncertainty.
Elsewhere, we ask whether your IFA is earning their fee, whether IPOs are all they’re cracked up to be and also reveal some tips on how to look for the next big thing in the AIM market.
