Baillie Gifford's Chief Investment Officer, James Anderson, talks to Trust Editor Heather Farmbrough about global investment and how the shift in the economic balance of power can be translated into investment opportunities now.
I am delighted to welcome you to this issue of Trust. If you are a regular reader, you'll see the magazine has a new look as well as the first economics column by a regular contributor, David Smith, economics editor of The Sunday Times. Here he assesses the impact of the government's quantitative easing policy, while Nigel Dudley places UK borrowings in an international context and Jonathan Gregson shows how governments have created money throughout history.
On a lighter note, I hope you find the article on Africa's long-term investment potential as fascinating as I did, while investors in Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust will, I hope, find our interview with manager Mark Urquhart positive and valuable.
