QuotedData's Investment companies roundup – January 2019

In what was generally a poor month for markets, few funds rose in value, while relatively thin trading over the holiday period exacerbated price moves. F&C UK Real Estate’s shares have been weak; there was a rumour that they were being shorted because of the trust’s exposure to UK retail property. It may be that the short was closed in December. India had a better month as the oil price continued to slide, boosting trusts such as Aberdeen New India, India Capital Growth and Ashoka India Equity. The Mexican market rose in December to the benefit of funds such as Aberdeen Latin American Income. With some Asian market also moving upwards, emerging market trusts such as JPMorgan Global Emerging Markets, ScotGems and Scottish Oriental Smaller Companies also rose. Next Energy Solar Fund’s shares spiked towards the end of the year but have retreated since.
