Funds vs trusts and the verdict on Woodford: Trustnet Magazine is out now

The latest edition of Trustnet Magazine is out now, with a cover story dedicated to whether funds or trusts are the better investment product. You may feel the “Let battle commence” headline to be a little hyperbolic, but within hours of publication the debate had become even more heated – you can see what happened when it spilled on to Twitter here.

Staying on the theme of closed-ended investment products, Adam Lewis asks the experts what investors can expect from Neil Woodford’s new offering, Cherry Reynard looks at how global investment trusts have developed over the years and James Anderson of the Scottish Mortgage IT explains why he is “bullish on a Chinese shop”.

Elsewhere in the issue, head of Trustnet Direct John Blowers asks where the money investors pay in charges actually goes and whether fund managers deserve it, Keith Ashworth-Lord of the Premier ConBrio Sanford Deland UK Buffettology fund reveals the closest thing he has found to legal drug-dealing and BRI Wealth Management’s Dan Boardman-Weston explains why he bought the Schroder Asia Pacific trust.

Best of all, Trustnet Magazine is, and always will be, completely free. You do not even have to fill out any details – simply click and read.
