About Me:
Private investor and publisher of WhichInvestmentTrust.com.
i have several years of experience as an investor both of equities in the market and in the investment trusts sector.
I invest on a value & growth basis. I'm a strong believer in the value of dividends but a mix of growth on a 80/20 value/growth basis is approximately the mix I look for.
WhichInvestmentTrust.com researches and explains the best and the worst that the Investment Trust & Investment Company sector has to offer. It is a £95 billion sector (assets under management) that enjoy a lower profile than I beleive it deserves. Research has shown that investments trusts outperform their open ended rivals (unit trusts & OEIC's) over time. Many self invested private investors are aware of this already but some have still to learn and I aim to help them.

I worked for Tenon until recently. I could have told you about them (except of course that you never knew). The good news looking at the recent figures is you were lucky to get out north of 5p with them in danger of breaching their only recently agreed banking facilities from Lloyd's.
