Income trusts going cheap
Article Abstract:
UK income trusts are trading at wide discounts though this does not always mean they offer good value. Some trusts are simply poorly managed but there are others which are simply not well-known. The bigger trusts have tended to be marketed more heavily to brokers dealing with private investors. Investors are less likely to see a further widening of discounts if the discount is already wide, but they should still be cautious and examine yields and asset performance.

Learning how to do the splits
Article Abstract:
Split capital trusts offer an investment vehicle which can meet the needs of different types of investors. Their life span is limited with specific dates for when they are wound up. There are income shares which use the dividend payments of the trust and capital shares which pay not income but offer capital growth. Capital shares tend to involve a risk since other types of share have a prior call on the assets of the split when it is wound up.
