With the FTSE 100 below its 1999 closing level, the latest edition of Trustnet Magazine considers why it has gone backwards over the past 21 years and finds out what it can do to follow in the footsteps of more successful markets such as the US.
Staying on this subject, Pádraig Floyd looks at some of the companies partly responsible for the FTSE 100’s lack of progress, as he rounds up the stocks whose share prices are lower now than they were 10 years ago, while Daniel Lanyon asks if a coming bonanza in tech IPOs offers a potential solution.
This month’s sector focus falls on the IT Debt sector as Adam Lewis finds out if the high single-digit yields make up for the greater risk associated with its specialist trusts.
In the magazine’s regular columns, John Blowers gives the major platforms the chance to reply to his recent criticism of their business practices, Rathbones’ Alexandra Jackson names three little-known companies that provide vital “back office” services for household names and Charles Stanley’s Ben Gilmore reveals why he is buying the Premier Miton US Opportunities fund.
