Скачать или смотреть Sharesify welcomes very first guest, Mark Northway of ShareSoc, to talk investment trusts and more

Mark gives us the elevator pitch as to what ShareSoc is and its objectives before discussing investment trust mergers and the ongoing campaign by activist Saba. We talks through whether Saba is acting as a force for good for investors, or becoming a big distraction for trust managers.

Mark explains why recent voting at Edinburgh Worldwide (EWI) was a bit worrying, and why such votes are crucial for retail investors.

The chaps talk through trust mergers, touch on share buybacks and dividends, a topic that clearkly needs more time to cover, and if Smithson Investment Trust's (SSON) planned switch to an open-ended investment company makes sence, and if it opens the door to a wider shift for many trusts in future.
