Money Makers

In this week's special edition of the Weekly Investment Trust Podcast, Jonathan Davis, editor of the Investment Trusts Handbook, reviews the week in the markets and looks at the possible impact of a likely incoming Labour government in Thursday's coming election. Joining him to discuss this are three distinguished guests - Ed Balls, journalist and broadcaster, and former MP and minister; Nick Macpherson, Lord Macpherson of Earl's Court and former permanent secretary to the Treasury; and Sandy Nairn, executive director of Global Opportunities Trust (GOT). We are grateful for the support of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which enables us to keep the podcast free.
