===========================
Five Investment Trusts for 2018

There’s been a flurry of positive economic data in the opening weeks of this year. This continues the momentum built in the latter part of 2017.

But drilling down further, we’re seeing the same themes across the stock markets.

Companies with the potential to disrupt traditional industries remain in favour. The industries they are disrupting, out of favour.

^^ And I hold PNL and have previously dumped TEM a few years ago. (Though TEM appears to be undergoing some sort of revival post-Mobius it's still not particularly impressive.)

Basically the same article at TrustNet:

Is it really that difficult to generate original content?

Probably a bit bigoted, but TEM's current fund manager is Carlos von Hardenberg. Reminds me a bit of the alter ego of Anthony Weiner, namely "Carlos Danger" (and there's definitely sexual innuendo in "Hardenberg"). Is this a name of someone to be trusted with your hard earned wealth?

If the Yews, the local Paki corner store shop owner can turn me a profit, I have no problem.
