Don’t be a passive investor
Investment trusts are unique. Unlike other pooled investment vehicles, they are listed companies with boards of directors who are accountable to you, the shareholder. That gives you a powerful opportunity to influence how your trust is managed - from voting on key decisions to engaging with the board and fund managers.
Being an active shareholder doesn’t have to be time consuming or complicated. In fact, it’s now easier than ever to stay informed and involved.
Stay informed, your way
We know that everyone consumes information differently. That’s why we offer a range of ways to keep up to date with your investment trust:
- Visit our website invtrusts.co.uk for regular updates from our fund managers, including performance reviews, portfolio changes, and insights into what the future might hold in an increasingly uncertain world
- Sign up for email updates at invtrusts.co.uk/signup to receive content in the format that suits you best - whether that’s short videos, podcasts, written articles, or invitations to live events with Q&A sessions
It’s never been simpler to stay connected with your investments.
Use your vote
Your vote is your voice. Whether it’s electing board members or approving important resolutions, your vote helps shape the direction of your investment trust. And thanks to improvements across investment platforms, casting your vote is easier than ever. Keep an eye out for alerts from your platform and make sure you take action. We’re also proud to support the AIC and its excellent “My Share, My Vote” campaign, which is all about encouraging shareholders like you to get involved. You can learn more about the campaign and how to participate here: theaic.co.uk/my-share-my-vote
Join us at events
We love meeting our shareholders face-to-face. Whether it’s at Company AGMs or broader industry events like Master Investor or the AIC’s Private Investor Conference, these are fantastic opportunities to meet the team behind your investment trust, hear directly from fund managers and board members, ask questions, and share your views.
Want to know where we’ll be next? Register here invtrusts.co.uk/events to receive updates on upcoming events.
And if you can’t make it in person, don’t worry. Each of our investment trusts hosts a pre-AGM webinar, where you can hear a presentation from the fund manager and take part in a live Q&A with both the manager and the Chair of the Board - from the comfort of your own home.Your Investment. Your Voice. Your Future.
Being a shareholder in an investment trust means more than just watching your investment grow. It means having a say in how your trust is run, staying informed, and making your voice heard. We’re here to help you do just that.
So don’t just invest – engage.
