The May issue of Trustnet Magazine looks at the passive funds treading new ground and asks, with the wide range of these products now available to investors, whether it is possible to build an entire portfolio out of them.
We also examine the folly of investing on autopilot – which appears to be the default position of the vast majority of investors, whether this is due to lethargy, fear of the unknown or forgetfulness – or a mixture of all three.
Away from passive funds, our other major theme of this issue is investing in property. Neal Underwood looks at whether buy-to-let is as easy a way of making money as the tenants facing a seemingly never-ending stream of rate-hikes seem to think, while Adam Lewis focuses on the IA Property sector and the variety of different funds it holds.
Meanwhile, John Blowers, head of Trustnet Direct, considers the reality of switching your pension pot into an income-generating portfolio and what can go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing.
There is also the usual mixture of fund focuses, analysis and manager commentary.
Best of all, Trustnet Magazine is, and always will be, free. You do not even have to fill out any details – simply click and read. The April issue switched to a new and slicker format – please let us know if you are having any navigation difficulties with it.
