February’s issue of Trustnet Magazine focuses on behavioural finance, with a cover feature on the unconscious biases every investor can fall prey to and what they can do to overcome them.
The other two featured articles in this issue help deal with the fallout when emotions prevent people making effective financial decisions. To begin with, three financial advisers tell Hannah Smith about how they rescued clients from potential ruin, then Sam Shaw asks fund managers what they wish the end investor understood better, noting that overconfidence can cause us to overlook the basics and make mistakes the experts warned us about – time and time again.
This month’s sector focus falls on IA Sterling High Yield, as Adam Lewis asks if it is a better bet for risk-on investors than equities this year.
In the magazine’s regular columns, John Blowers analyses five platforms that offer hybrid advice to clients, FTF Martin Currie UK Smaller Companies’ fund manager Dan Green highlights three digitally enabled companies with resilient business models and Albemarle’s Tobias Williams names a fund whose value bias should allow it to take advantage of the recovery in Asian markets.
