February’s issue of Trustnet Magazine focuses on a topic that is always close to our readers’ hearts: income. A column published in The Financial Times last year claimed the UK’s preference for paying dividends over funding future growth was stifling innovation and risked turning it into a “global backwater”; in this month’s cover feature, Daniel Lanyon investigates whether there is any merit to this claim. Elsewhere, Sam Shaw asks if income investors need to adjust their strategies in light of rising inflation, while a selection of analysts tell Anthony Luzio which small-cap funds and trusts they would back for dividend growth.
This month’s sector focus falls on global equity income, as Cherry Reynard finds out how to make the most of its resurgence following years of underperformance.
In the magazine’s regular columns, Schroder European Recovery’s Andy Evans names three commodity stocks that look well placed to rally, Fairview’s Ben Yearsley reveals which fund he has chosen to replace Baillie Gifford Global Discovery in his portfolio, and John Blowers finds out how investment platforms are bridging the gap between basic guidance and formal financial advice.
