TRUST
The Investment Magazine from Baillie Gifford
Issue Eleven Spring 2009
Current Issue
The new Trust online magazine
Welcome to this issue of Trust in which we celebrate the centenary of one of the oldest investment trusts in the UK, Scottish Mortgage. We recognise that much of the last year has been a difficult time for many investors and I hope that our Chief and Deputy Chief Investment Officers' insights on the investment world will be useful.
Other features in this issue include a look at the lessons of the 1990s in Japan for today's economic policymakers and at history in the making in the USA with the inauguration of President Obama.
I hope you will agree with me that while history may not always repeat itself, it can help us shape our understanding and expectations of the modern world and, hopefully, even financial markets.
