JPMorgan Japanese Investment Trust – Are we there yet?

Optimism driven by rapidly developing corporate governance reforms, a divergent economy cycle, and still-negative interest rates saw a dramatic rally in benchmark Japanese indices over 2023, with the TOPIX index climbing to its highest level in more than 30 years. With the rally driven by more value-focused sectors of the market, returns for the JP Morgan Japanese Investment Trust (JFJ) failed to keep pace for much of the year due to a portfolio more targeted towards high-quality growth stocks. While many of these companies have been out of favour, we do not see that as a significant negative...

Global Opportunities Trust – Cash pile grows as valuations climb

Strong performance from Global Opportunities Trust’s equity portfolio drove solid NAV growth in 2025. Shareholders also benefited as the trust’s discount to NAV narrowed, though it remains wide. Noting higher valuations in the portfolio and broader market, the manager took profits and increased cash, leaving the trust ready to act if markets fall. The trust is no longer self-managed, which should allow greater flexibility with the use of both gearing and derivatives. Currently, the manager sees opportunities in mid-cap companies with unique valuation drivers and low sensitivity to the ec...

Lindsell Train Investment Trust – Durability in times of volatility

Market volatility at the start of 2025 – brought about by tariff uncertainty and the release of the Chinese AI model DeepSeek – provided an interesting snapshot into the potential performance of the companies that Lindsell Train Investment Trust (LTI) and its manager, Lindsell Train Limited (LTL), invest in during times of market stress.
