Disappearing trust 15 August 2008 [0 comments]

I wish to draw your attention to the ‘Resources Investment Trust’, which is listed in What Investment in the sector entitled ‘Specialist: Liquidity’. In fact, this trust should be in the sector entitled ‘Specialist: Commodities & Natural Resources.
The trust was correctly listed in ‘Specialist: Commodities & Natural Resources’ up to and including August 2007, issue 293, but in the next issue, September 2007, it had been moved to ‘Specialist: Liquidity’.
Also, the performance figures in issue 302 of What Investment, May 2008, for the Resources Investment Trust appear to be somewhat excessive – far outperforming the Merrill Lynch World Mining Trust. Are you certain that these figures are accurate? The reason I query the figures is because I have seen performance figures for these trusts in
other publications where the Resources Investment Trust mostly underperforms the
Merrill Lynch World Mining Trust.
