Let's talk about risk
The value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested. The value of property reflects the opinion of valuers and is reviewed periodically. These assets can also be illiquid and significant or persistent redemptions may require the manager to sell properties at a lower market value adversely affecting the value of your investment. Investments which are concentrated in a specific sector or country may result in less diversification and hence more volatility in investment values. Gearing is used for investment purposes to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to an asset, index or investment. The use of gearing can enhance returns to investors in a rising market, but if the market falls the losses may be greater.
The Trust's top 10 holdings
Stock picking is the key driver of portfolio composition with only those companies in which the manager has a high degree of conviction warranting a position in the portfolio. Typically, the portfolio is comprised of around 185 holdings including around 10 fund holdings targeting those markets where Columbia Threadneedle does not have dedicated in-house smaller company expertise.
