Sold down the River and Mercantile

Article Abstract:

The River and Mercantile Trust, a split capital trust, is to become Fleming Income and Growth, with Fleming as its new manager. Capital shareholders have lost out. River and Mercantile has seen a poor performance from previous managers. Investors could question why the supposedly conservative trust became involved in a start-up venture which involved the loss of more than 1 million pounds sterling of assets in a little more than a year.
