‘There’s a lot of value in emerging markets’ - Paul Niven of F&C

The F&C Investment Trust (FCIT) is as close to a household name as a fund can be. Founded in the 19th century, its global stocks “one-stop shop” nature has made it a favourite for investors for decades, and despite changing managers and fund houses, it’s remained true to its aim.

Val Cipriani sits down with current manager Paul Niven (investorschronicle.co.uk/content/6487f8fd-25d0…), who discusses the trust’s approach to using other fund managers (investorschronicle.co.uk/content/9cee9f42-5324…), where he sees value in stock markets, the pros and cons of a concentrated portfolio (investorschronicle.co.uk/content/2af952be-bb0b…) and why, despite cutting back on US companies (investorschronicle.co.uk/stocks-and-shares/?ut…), he believes there’s still value to be found.
