In our latest podcast, Sharesify’s Steven Frazer and Ian Conway are delighted to welcome our very first guest, Mark Northway of ShareSoc. In fact, Sharesify welcomes very first guest, Mark Northway of ShareSoc and this is a milestone for the show. Mark is a board member of the retail investor advocate organisation. Previously, he was its chairman from April 2016 to December 2021.
Mark gives us the elevator pitch as to what Share Soc is and its objectives. Then he discusses investment trust mergers and the ongoing campaign by activist Saba. We talk through whether Saba is acting as a force for good for investors. Alternatively, we consider if it is becoming a big distraction for trust managers. In this episode, Sharesify welcomes Mark Northway of ShareSoc, the very first guest, on our podcast.
Mark explains why recent voting at Edinburgh Worldwide (EWI) was a bit worrying. He also explains why such votes are crucial for retail investors. In this episode, Sharesify welcomes very first guest, Mark Northway of ShareSoc, who elaborates on these important issues.
The chaps talk through trust mergers and touch on share buybacks and dividends. This is a topic that clearly needs more time to cover. They also discuss if Smithson Investment Trust’s (SSON) planned switch to an open-ended investment company makes sense. Furthermore, they consider if it opens the door to a wider shift for many trusts in future. Additionally, Sharesify welcomes very first guest, Mark Northway of ShareSoc to help us understand these developments.
