What’s Hot
- Five “Property Other” funds feature…
- …these funds invest into quoted property vehicles, so respond like any other stock market investment, in this case to the news that interest rates might not go as high as expected last month…
- Such funds fell in the region of 40% from their September 2021 peak, they were due a bit of a rally
- More interesting is the bounce in FTSE 250 funds, mid-caps, and including the very Value-style Schroder Recovery
- Ruffer Gold is an interesting feature. Gold is on the cusp just now – though we are not yet sure what!
What’s Not
- Three Japan funds is not a shock, after a super rally in the last few months.
- With mid-cap funds rallying (see above) it is unexpected to see the Schroder UK small-cap fund in this list. One for us to explore.
- The other funds are mostly idiosyncratic.
