    Yes, I take the point and certainly investors need to be wary of narrowing discounts at the present time.

    I have stopped buying into Murray International (MYI) as it is holding its small premium despite a torrid past 12 - 24 months. Bruce Stout is another taking a bearish stance along with Mundy.

    However, I'm finding lots of good discount opportunities in smaller companies and filling my boots in the hope of a revival in this part of the market.

    I have done further research and I can see that yield is not everything and can be a dtriment to overal performance.
    I have a revised list of Investment Trusts for consideration as follows:

    Relative performance/charges seem to stack up and yield would exceed 3% overall.

    UK

    Schroder Uk Growth
    Schroder Income Growth
    Finsbury Growth
    City Of London (already held)
    Lowland Inv Trust
    Temple Bar

    World

    Bankers
    Foreign & Colonial
    Black Rock Income Strategies

    European

    Henerson European Focus
    JPM European Income

    ASIA

    Schroder Oriental Income
    Henderson Far East Income

    Would be interested in any thoughts? Considering maybe 9 or 10 of the above as a broader risk than some of individual share holdings I currently hold.
