The latest edition of Trustnet Magazine focuses on the cult of short-termism. In this month’s cover feature, Hannah Smith looks at the investment “influencers” offering trading advice on social media and reveals why it would be unwise to follow in their footsteps. Meanwhile, Anthony Luzio considers if there is ever a time to take a short-term approach to managing money and Pádraig Floyd asks if quantitative easing has disrupted investors’ time horizons, as well as the markets.
Away from the main theme, this month’s sector focus falls on UK small caps, where Adam Lewis says the removal of numerous headwinds could result in a purple patch.
In the magazine’s regular columns, John Blowers test-drives all the major investment platforms, Sanlam’s Andrew Evans names three stocks that disprove the claim the UK market doesn’t have any world-class growth companies and Spear Financial’s Chris Spear reveals why he is using the BNY Mellon Sustainable Real Return fund to protect against the threat of inflation.
