The latest edition of Trustnet Magazine, out now, looks back at 2016 – a year that took everyone by surprise. Amid all the hysteria about Trump and Brexit, many people seem to have forgotten about the other seismic events that took place over the past 12 months. For example, who remembers the Chinese stock market falling by 7 per cent within minutes of opening this year? Read Daniel Lanyon’s review of 2016 to jog your memory. Meanwhile, Cherry Reynard finds out how some of the biggest names in the AIC universe have performed.
While few if any analysts correctly called the big events of 2016, there does seem to be a greater consensus this time around about how the next year will develop – love him or loathe him, at least everyone seems to have an idea of how Donald Trump’s term in the White House will affect markets. Read Adam Lewis’s article for the experts’ outlook on every sector next year.
In the magazine’s regular columns, John Blowers explains how the “tiny” charges associated with investing can add up to tens of thousands of pounds, SWMC’s Stuart Mitchell reveals which three stocks he is tipping to bounce back from recent share price weakness and Standard Life’s Bambos Hambi tells us which fund he is using to protect against the impact of rising yields.
