Editor ’ s letter
The latest edition of Trustnet Magazine focuses on a topic that is impossible to ignore – the cost-of-living crisis .
Yet while spiralling inflation is hitting us in the pocket today , it could have an even more drastic impact on our retirement , as Cherry Reynard finds out in this month ’ s cover feature .
Staying on this theme , I ask if you should approach the inflation-driven bear market by drip-feeding money into equities or allocating a lump sum to absolute return funds , while Daniel Lanyon points to the signs that will tell you the worst is over – although we may not see them for some time yet .
This month ’ s sector focus falls on commodities , as Adam Lewis asks if the long-awaited rally in this area is sustainable .
In our regular columns , John Blowers says the platforms have failed to adapt to the way the younger generation uses technology , Hugh Sergeant of the ES R & M UK Equity High Alpha fund names three consumer stocks on overly pessimistic valuations , and GDIM ’ s Tom Sparke points to a sustainable fund he thinks stands out from the crowd .
Enjoy reading ,
