Suppose to be a safe pair of hands in a storm. Bit like PNL which has suffered this year. Might do better next year if we get a correction. If you are looking for income, have a look at SDV or even BAF. Or individual shares, TEP, SUS or GVC. DYOR please.

A very good interview by Merryn Somerset Webb with the manager of this investment trust in current Moneyweek. Well worth a read. Summary: "A good bet for a steady long-term income." NAI DYOR.

Still performing pretty well. Nice rising trend. Higher highs and higher lows.

I'm not a chartist, but the chart looks pretty solid.

Bought a few today - this company has a very good investment manager and has good prospects in my view. Not cheap, but quality never is.

It'll never set the world on fire, but under Brooks's management it should be less volatile than under it's former managers. Discount to NAV is minimised by the use of share buy-backs. Alternatives to this are EDIN.L run by Neil Woodford which seeks to beat the ASX, low volatility and good yield. Geosci
