An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. But they can’t get past the front door because it’s been boarded up. And then they get floored by a soldier in a hazmat suit who is now part of a unit patrolling London because there’s a ban on public gatherings. It’s funny because it’s true, right? We aren’t quite at the stage where troops are patrolling London’s streets, but back in January, when we published our ‘top picks for 2020’, nobody could’ve predicted that by now we’d be locked in our homes, banned from meeting our friends and relatives, and facing the indefinite cessation of most economic activity until further notice. When all’s said and done, it’s been one hell of a month. In any sort of broad market move, some share prices move outside of what we might consider a rational boundary. As investment trust experts, it is our job to try and point these out. Clearly the advent of the apocalypse has made this job harder; the minute a share price or discount reaches a particular level, by the time we are in a position to publish anything, time (and prices) have moved on. So, with our feeble excuses made, we now return to the selection of trusts we put forward in January as our ‘top picks for 2020’; when we were all bored of headlines about Brexit, and snug behind the magical wall that protects us from respiratory conditions found only in far-flung parts of the Orient. Readers of a delicate constitution are advised to look away now.
