Any recommendations for an investment trust? I'm thinking Scottish Mortgage or Pacific horizon investment trust from Baillie Gifford 

I know both of them don't look too good right now after 40+% drop since November last year but they're bouncing back.

    There are many different IT's . 100% equity- 100% one country- High dividend- wealth preservation- environmental etc etc

    So not possible to even start to recommend one, whilst knowing zero details about you or your objectives.

    If you’re looking for a one investment trust (IT) portfolio I would look to world equity ETF trackers instead, if you want to go down the IT route then I’d look to construct a portfolio with various ITs that each cover a specific region (E.g. US, Europe, Asia and EM) or a blend of the two.
