The slow-motion investor who's growing fast

Article Abstract:

Personal Assets Trust (PAT) is run by Ian Rushbrook who acquired a 1 million pounds sterling stake in PAT and became its fund manager. He sees the work as an intellectual challenge and the small size of PAT makes it easier to manage. He does not buy many stocks and sees inaction as a virtue, and he aims to value equities as a whole. He has been working on a model to assess the relationships between equities, different types of government securities and cash. PAT offers idiosyncratic shareholder reports from Robin Angus, a director of the trust.

Mr Hedge seeks an edge

Article Abstract:

There are some 3,000 hedge funds world wide, including the six well-known funds of George Soros. Hedge funds are portrayed in three ways. They are represented as ways of hedging risks, ways of gearing up returns, and opportunities for fund managers to become stars. Hedge funds are different from conventional funds in how rewards are gained by managers. The pay structure for managers could be one reason for the popularity of hedge funds.
