Article Abstract:

It is common for investment trust shares to trade at a discount, with the total value of the shares being less than the actual value of the investments held by the trust.

Potential investors in investment trust shares should be aware that discounts go in cycles and that there are also strong variations in discounts between and within investment trust sectors.
