Talking Trusts: Weekly Review with Simon Elliott (09 January 2021)

Jonathan Davis, editor of the Investment Trusts Handbook, and Simon Elliott, head of investment trust research at Winterflood Securities, review the week and the main market movements in the latest edition of our weekly investment trust podcast.

Not a huge amount of news this week, but an opportunity to look back over 2020 and discuss some of the broader features of the investment trust sector, as well as the outlook for the New Year.

Trusts mentioned this week (with tickers) include: Value and Income (VIN), Schiehallion (MNTN), Gabelli Value Plus + (GVP), J.P.Morgan Indian (JII), Pantheon International (PIN), Hipgnosis (SONG), Round Hill Music Royalty (RHM). Scottish Mortgage (SMT), Mid Wynd (MWI) and Martin Currie Global (MNP).

This week also sees the start of the Money Makers circle, a membership scheme that offers listeners to the podcast an opportunity, in return for a modest monthly or annual subscription, to receive additional premium content, including interviews, news updates, market and portfolio reviews and regular extracts from the editor's notebook. For more information about this new offering, please visit www.money-makers.co/membership-join.

The weekly investment trust portfolio will continue to be free, and we are very grateful for your continued support and the enthusiastic response to our 40-odd podcasts since launch.
