Bargains to be had if you are brave
Article Abstract:
It is common for investment trust shares to trade at a discount, with the total value of the shares being less than the actual value of the investments held by the trust. The average investment trust discount in the UK is currently just over 11%, and companies are becoming obliged to consider taking steps to cut their discounts. Potential investors in investment trust shares should be aware that discounts go in cycles and that there are also strong variations in discounts between and within investment trust sectors.
