The Edinburgh Investment Trust plc
The Edinburgh Investment Trust plc Edinburgh Investment Trust offers exposure primarily to UK-listed equities. It may also hold up to 20% of assets in equities listed overseas.
Investment Objective
The Company invests primarily in UK securities with the long term objective of achieving:
1. An increase of the Net Asset Value per share in excess of the growth in the FTSE All-Share Index; and
2. Growth in dividends per share in excess of the rate of UK inflation.
It is managed by James de Uphaugh, the Chief Investment Officer of Majedie Asset Management. He constructs a high conviction portfolio of c.40 holdings based on fundamental company research. James is supported by a collegiate team of 20 fund managers and analysts. Together, they have deep knowledge of markets and a rigorous approach to investment analysis.
Why Invest?
Majedie’s flexible investment process delivers a differentiated, diversified portfolio of listed equities. Investment decisions are stock-driven, with ESG factors considered throughout. This work is underpinned by the research of an experienced team of investment analysts with a global perspective. There are no in-built investment style biases. Instead, opportunities are sought across the market: ‘growth’, ‘value’ and ‘recovery’ stocks will all typically be held. The aim of James and his colleagues is to deliver long-term added value regardless of economic and market conditions.
How to Invest
The Company’s shares are quoted on the London Stock Exchange. There are a variety of ways by which investors can buy the shares. Shares may be purchased through discretionary wealth managers, banks, independent financial advisers and via a large number of execution-only trading platforms.
