Picking winners

Article Abstract:

Investors can bear in mind a number of factors when assessing investment trusts. Quality of management, dividend cover and cash flow are important, as is the case when selecting any stocks. Discount levels to net asset value (NAV) are also important, and this can involve opportunities. Investment trust stocks may have premiums or narrow discounts when demand is high, or wider discounts when demand is low in relation to supply. Stocks may not be cheap simply because a discount is wide, since this could be an indication of an illiquid underlying portfolio.

Article Abstract:
