    Yakatana if you want general information on Investment Trusts then I suggest you visit the Association of Investment Trust Companies (https://www.aitc.co.uk), it is the vehicle set up by the industry to promote IT's.

    If you are after specific information on IT funds / sectors / performance, etc, etc (specifically India or China) then I suggest you visit one of the fund performance sites - https://www.trustnet.co.uk is quite agood one as you can dice and slice, and filter performance views to focus on what you are looking for.

    Recent comment suggests that India might be a short term bet than China (as a lot of hype / monies have already gone into China). But, then again everyones got an opinion and this is no recommendation.

    Hi, Yakatana,

    Your post is a tiny bit confusing...do you mean Information Technology? Or Investment Trusts?

  • Hi,cheerfulcat and cloud_dog:rolleyes: You're right.I meaned Information Technology. I've just begun to learn this sphere. That's why I have only general information without any practice.It's interesting to read some general information on Investment Trusts Companies too.Thanks for all answers!

    Hi, Yakatana,

    I thought you probably meant Information Technology :-). As far as researching up and coming tech type companies...have a look at the techMark

    Digital Look provides in-depth company information, stock screeners, heat maps; brilliant stuff ( all free ) -

    As to China and India; the best way currently to invest there is through a fund, IMHO. I don't usually like collective investments but for specialist investments like this it is safer, unless you have specific knowledge of those markets yourself. It may be a little early to invest there, too.

    HTH
