Investment Trusts

Evening forum

Is there such a thing as a high yield / high growth Investment Trust (any tips would be good; anything with a total return - with dividends re-invested - of 4% plus per year) or does this investing Shangri-la exist in my head only?

    Yes there are many ITs that have a high yield. The overall return might be lower than a less income focused one though.

    This might be a place to start

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I haven't double checked it but the AIC's website appears to have total return data e.g., for City of London. The last ten years might be a flattering period, though.

    Generally, the higher the yield, the lower the growth on the unit price.
