I’m looking at investing in an Investment Trust (e.g. Foreign Colonial Trust).
I’m finding it hard to come across resources for finding and comparing the various investment trusts out there.
In addition I’m curious how they compare to holdings companies like Berkshire Hathaway.
Also, does anyone know why we only talk about UK investment trusts and not trusts in other countries?
I presume it’s because we only have access to the EU market due to the KID document and the UK is the only country with investment trusts.
I’d be looking primarily for something as close to the S&P 500.
That is:
- lots of multinationals to reduce risk of having only UK companies.
- a similar performance over the years to the S&P500.
- low cost fees.
- similar companies to that of the big index funds like the S&P500.
From reading various threads on this forum over the years I think many people have these same questions.
If you know of any good investment trusts or holdings companies, or are currently investing in any please share your thoughts.
Looking forward to your responses, resources and links!
