AIC sectors – a guide

The average investment trust has significantly outperformed the average unit trust net of charges in both the UK and global sectors over the last 10 years. Despite this, investment trusts are often shunned by financial advisers and discretionary managers in favour of their open-ended counterparts. Could this have something to do with a lack of familiarity among investors and advisers? Connect to this informative section of our Key Strategies area for sector averages, analysis and commentaries on the Association of Investment Companies’ official investment trust sectors.
