In the second of three podcasts recorded at FundCalibre’s annual investment trust dinner, Bruce Stout, manager of Murray International investment trust tells us why he prefers the shares and bonds of emerging market companies and governments today, explains why he thinks financial forecasters are just there to make weather forecasters look good and discusses the times he’s put more money into bonds to help protect the portfolio from falling equity markets.
Murray International is a genuinely international portfolio that invests in the shares of companies, as well as some bonds.

The content is not intended to be a personal recommendation to buy or sell any fund or trust, or to adopt a particular investment strategy. However, the knowledge that professional analysts have analysed a fund or trust in depth before assigning them a rating can be a valuable additional filter for anyone looking to make their own decisions. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Market and exchange-rate movements may cause the value of investments to go down as well as up. Yields will fluctuate and so income from investments is variable and not guaranteed. You may not get back the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends of your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice. Whilst FundCalibre provides product information, guidance and fund research we cannot know which of these products or funds, if any, are suitable for your particular circumstances and must leave that judgement to you. Before you make any investment decision, make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand the risks.
