In this special edition of the podcast, we’re joined by Richard Stone, chief executive of The Association of Investment Companies (AIC). The AIC was founded in 1932 to represent investment trusts – the oldest form of collective investment.
Richard tells James and Ian what attracted him to the investment trust industry. He also elaborates on the AIC’s mission and the ways in which it supports members and investors.
Our special guest outlines the ways in which investment trusts can increase their appeal to investors relative to low-cost passive funds. He also discusses the impact that activists have had on the investment trust sector.
Richard explains why investors must sign-up for the AIC’s Investment Company Showcase on Friday 9 October in the City. He also looks forward to his role as a panellist at the inaugural Sharesify Wealth & Retirement Show on Friday 6 November.
