Jonathan Brown, Fund Manager
Markets had a very strong run in the wake of the pandemic. However, the current pincer movement of lower demand and higher interest rates has sent them lower.
Is it as gloomy as the newspapers would have you believe? Jonathan Brown thinks not.
In his Q2 video update, Jonathan talks about areas of opportunity amid uncertainty. He also answers the following questions:
Investment risks
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
The Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Companies Investment Trust plc invests in smaller companies which may result in a higher level of risk than a product that invests in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies may be subject to abrupt price movements and may be less liquid, which may mean they are not easy to buy or sell.
The use of borrowings may increase the volatility of the NAV and may reduce returns when asset values fall.
The Invesco Perpetual UK Smaller Companies Investment Trust plc uses derivatives for efficient portfolio management which may result in increased volatility in the NAV. In addition, some companies are suspending, lowering or postponing their dividend payments, which may affect the income received by the product during this period and in the future.
