  • Does Your Investment Trust Have Skin in the Game?
    Does your investment trust have skin in the game? By Emma Agyemang 03 May 2018 Investors Chronicle Copyright 2018 The Financial Times Ltd. All rights reserved Investment trusts are companies listed on the stock market so have a board of directors. These fulfil a number of functions relating to the running of the trust, including appointing and dismissing the trust's investment manager, and setting its level of fees. Boards are also responsible for deciding whether to buy back or issue shares to control discounts or premiums to net asset value (NAV), and they decide how much debt (gearing) a trust can have. Because of boards' key role in running investment trusts, some argue that they and the investment managers should have their own money invested in them. "To align interests, investors look for directors and managers to have a meaningful personal investment in the companies they direct and/or manage," says Ben Newell, analyst at broker Canaccord Genuity. "We have never met one investor who has argued against this, and strongly believe that 'skin in the game' sends a clear and powerful message to both existing and potential investors." “Knowing that an investment trust's managers and board directors are in the same boat as them when markets are difficult can be reassuring to shareholders”, adds Jason Hollands, managing director at wealth manager Tilney Group. So Canaccord Genuity regularly produces a report outlining how much managers and board directors have of their own money in the investment trusts they run, and the latest edition covers 283 investment trusts. It found that 58 chairmen or directors of these have a personal investment in the trust they are involved with worth more than £1m, and 67 managers or management teams have in excess of £1m in the trust they run.
