A cover feature containing Terry Smith, Nick Train and Peter Spiller would usually be guaranteed to grab our readers’ attention, but a headline of ‘Eureka!’ now seems at odds with the mood of the country, with the government in turmoil and millions of Britons facing up to paying hundreds of pounds more on their mortgage each month. At least the magazine’s other featured articles this month are suitably downbeat, as five IFAs tell Hannah Smith about the clients whose financial circumstances were turned upside down, while Cherry Reynard finds out how fund managers are coping with crisis conditions that haven’t been seen in 40 years.
Meanwhile, in this month’s sector focus, Adam Lewis covers one area of the property market that has already crashed, with discounts on some real estate investment trusts hitting 50%.
In our regular columns, John Blowers looks at where counting the pennies can genuinely make you wealthier, JPMorgan’s Katen Patel names three consumer stocks he is confident will survive the hit to discretionary spending, and Evelyn Partners’ James Burns reveals which fund he thinks will continue to eke out solid returns, even if market conditions remain tricky.
