Also, why investment trusts? Both these ITs have OEIC equaivalents and while CGT seems to have a slight edge over CG Absolute Return, there is no meaningful difference between PNL and Troy Trojan.

Know this post was a while back, but wouldn't be PNL be better as the current fees are quite a bit lower PNL 0.76% to Trojan 1.01%)?

The difference in performance over 10 years is insignificant at about 0.2%, much less than a crude comparison of the fees would suggest. 

There also seems to be a 5% entry fee for the Trojan funds (?)

If you buy from a platform you would not be charged an entry fee.

Thanks.

It's far from self-evident, as both fund factsheet and the platform cite the 5%!






Thanks for clarification.

Btw, iWeb offer various classes - X, I, O, S. Presumably I can just pick the one with the lowest fee (that being 'S') as the actual funds are identical.

Thanks.

...Just on the PNL thing, how can you tell if this (or any other IT) would be trading at a premium or discount? Does the P or D change frequently over the course of a day's trading, daily, weekly etc? Is there a good site that gives up-to-date info on this?

Thanks.

I usually just look at one of the investment platforms. HL also supply a graph of how the discount/premium has changed with time. You do not need to be a customer to see the info.

Personal Assets Trust plc Share Price (PNL) ORD GBP0.125 | PNL (hl.co.uk)

Many thanks for this.

Useful info and answers my question.

...S is apparently only for registered charities. Still not sure what X, O and I are/why ..
