The latest issue of FE Trustnet Magazine, out today, looks at the behavioural psychology that stops people admitting they made a bad investment – and how this can be even more damaging than the original error.
Along the theme of mistakes, Cherry Reynard asks five professional investors for details of their biggest blunders and what they learnt from them, while Anthony Luzio looks at the phenomenon of fund managers who got a major call right, but still went on to lose money.
This month’s sector profile is on IT North America, Europe and Japan, with Adam Lewis finding out the limited number of trusts focused on these areas has been no barrier to long-term returns.
In the magazine’s regular columns, FE Invest’s Charles Younes reveals which strategic bond fund he believes is investors’ best bet for diversifying their equity exposure and LF Gresham House’s Ken Wotton names three promising stocks whose small size has led to them being overlooked by the majority of investors.
Finally, John Blowers weighs up the impact of the FCA’s proposal to ban or limit exit fees on platforms – making it easier to rectify the mistake of choosing an expensive provider.
