The cover feature in November’s edition of Trustnet Magazine focuses on “the noise”: over-hyped data releases and commentary investors are regularly bombarded with that they would be better off disregarding.
Yet while many investors attach too much weight to irrelevant news flow, they also tend to overlook simple portfolio fixes that in some cases can have a greater impact on their bank balance than the performance of the underlying assets. Laura Miller reveals the simple pieces of advice that often go unheeded. In the final story on this theme, Daniel Lanyon names the industries being disrupted you should forget about investing in – and the lessons from their decline you need to remember.
Meanwhile, in this month’s sector focus, Adam Lewis asks if the coronavirus pandemic could mark a turning point in the long-term performance of emerging markets.
In the magazine’s regular columns, John Blowers rates the ESG offerings of the major investment platforms, VT Downing Unique Opportunities’ Rosemary Banyard names three stocks whose patents have created an “economic moat” and Quilter Cheviot’s Nick Wood reveals why he thinks BlackRock UK Equity is “a gem hiding in plain sight”.
