The first edition of Trustnet Magazine in 2022 focuses on a risk that has been front of investors’ minds since the fall of Woodford Investment Management – fund size, and the potential impact it can have on liquidity. In this month’s cover feature, Anthony Luzio looks at whether the past gives any clues as to whether rocketing inflows are an automatic ‘kiss of death’ for fund performance. Meanwhile, Danielle Levy asks if fund pickers are being overly cautious when it comes to size, and Cherry Reynard considers the advantages of investing in boutiques.
This month’s sector focus falls on IA Europe ex UK, as Adam Lewis asks if last year’s strong performance was a blip or the start of a long-term turnaround in fortunes for a market dominated by unfashionable industries.
In the magazine’s regular columns, James Henderson of the Henderson Opportunities Trust names three stocks that can provide balance as well as growth potential when held together in a portfolio, and Zach Ryan of FE Investments reveals which fund he is using to help him navigate the uncertain conditions in emerging markets.
Finally, John Blowers uses his first column back to debunk some of the most common myths that stop people from beginning their investment journey.
