The latest edition of Trustnet Magazine marks 10 years since what for many people in the UK was the first they heard of the financial crisis – the run on Northern Rock. Our cover story features three fund managers who were on the ground when the trouble hit, as they recall the first time they twigged something wasn’t right and how they managed to keep their heads above water – just about.
Meanwhile, Cherry Reynard reviews the defensive assets that protected investors’ cash during the crisis to see whether they are still up to the job, Holly Black asks if the long-awaited recovery in UK banking stocks is likely to materialise any time soon, and Adam Lewis finds that, for the first time since interest rates sank to record lows, UK investors are beginning to shy away from equity income.
In our regular columns, John Blowers explains why Trustnet Direct is no longer accepting transfers from defined benefit pension schemes and James Illsley of the JPM UK Equity Core fund names three UK stocks benefiting from the improving global economy. Finally, 7IM’s Tony Lawrence reveals which fund he is using to tap into the European bull run.
