Looking for greater returns from a recovering world economy? At F&C, our fund managers and their teams search the globe to identify companies that look well placed to take advantage of recovery in the regional and world economies. By carefully selecting investments that represent real value, our smaller company investment trusts offer investors the potential for superior long-term returns and provide diversification to their portfolio.

We’ve pinpointed some exciting opportunities.

Including our awarding winning US Smaller Companies investment trust, we offer three smaller company investment trusts:

• Global Smaller Companies

Round table

Watch all three managers discuss smaller companies in our round table hosted by Peter Marshall. You can watch in full or select questions to view.

The opinions expressed in the videos below are those of the Fund Managers at the time of production. These opinions should not be relied upon as investment advice.

Where investments are made in smaller companies and businesses at an early stage of their development, there may be a higher degree of risk. The value of such investments is usually more sensitive to market movements and may be less liquid (take longer to buy or sell).

For investment trusts which make investments outside the UK, you should be aware that your investment could be affected by changes in the rates of exchange between sterling and the currencies in which those investments are denominated.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. As with all stock market investments the value of your shares can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the full amount invested.
