Monthly round-up of investment trust news

Jo Groves and Ryan Lightfoot-Aminoff from Kepler Trust Intelligence discuss the most notable news, reviews and interviews in the investment trust world in July.

We discuss how the sale of one of Hg Capital’s holdings could be a positive sign for the private equity sector and what implications the biggest one-day gains in US small companies’ history could have on the asset class.

We also bring you the highlights from the second round of our small-cap webinar series with Gabriel Sacks, manager of abrdn Asia Focus, Robin West, manager of Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Companies and, finally, Christopher Berrier of Brown Advisory US Smaller Companies.

We round things off with the key talking points from our recent interview with Olivia Markham, manager of BlackRock World Mining.
