Review: Active global equity investment

Witan Investment Trust (WTAN) seeks to achieve long-term income and capital growth through active multi-manager investment in global equities. Following a number of manager changes in 2013, CEO Andrew Bell sees the stock-picking approach of Witan’s specialist investment managers as well-suited to the current environment with market returns expected to be primarily driven by corporate earnings growth. Witan has outperformed its benchmark over 10 years and delivered a dividend growth rate double the rate of inflation over the same period. The trust’s expenses remain at a moderate level with total ongoing charges of 1.12% in 2013.
