Synopsis

A comprehensive and practical guide to investment trusts. These investment vehicles have been underused by investors in the past, but that is set to change now that the Retail Distribution Review has banned commissions and put investment trusts on a level playing field. The book explains what investment trusts are and focuses on how to construct and run a trust portfolio.  It offers investors, both experienced and novice, a concise and jargon free guide to these lucrative investment vehicles.

À propos de l'auteur

John Baron has used investment trusts in both a private and professional capacity for over 30 years. On leaving the Army, he entered the City as a fund manager running a range of portfolios for private clients and charities. He was a Director of Henderson Private Clients, and then a Director of Rothschild Asset Management having been approached to run their private client core UK equity portfolio.

On entering politics, John has sat on the other side of the fence helping charities monitor their fund managers. He remains a member of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Management.
