FT Adviser Article<\/a><\/p>\n

Great FT Adviser article by\u00a0Sally Hickey\u00a0on the outperformance of investment trusts vs open-ended funds in many sectors over the long term.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Nick Britton ACSI\u00a0points out, it’s not just the gearing that makes the difference over the long term. The closed-ended structure allows managers of investment trusts to take a long-term view of their assets as they are not subject to the same relentless flow of monies, both being introduced and withdrawn, as are open-ended funds. Investing for the long-term tends to result in better returns.<\/p>\n

Being closed-ended, investment trusts are also better suited for certain types of investment \u2013 particularly those less-liquid such as commercial property, as highlighted by the closure of a number of open-ended property funds during the pandemic and following the EU Referendum.<\/p>\n

Other less-liquid assets such as private equity or smaller companies require a similar approach. Their very nature, and therefore at times illiquidity, require the incubator effect best offered by the closed-ended structure of investment trusts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis data illustrates loud and clear that investors should keep an open mind, and they don\u2019t have to choose between funds and trusts \u2013 you can have a mix of both.\u201d –\u00a0Dzmitry Lipski\u00a0of\u00a0Interactive Investor<\/p>\n

Despite the above, 85% of advisers don’t currently use investment trusts?!<\/p>\n

The reasons cited within the article for advisers avoiding their use are outdated and overcome through proper due diligence.<\/p>\n
