    Some European stocks will be protected from Trump: Sam Gleave of Liontrust European Dynamic

    In the latest episode of the IC Interviews, Dave Baxter sits down with Sam Gleave of Liontrust’s European Dynamic.  The fund seeks out companies lowly valued by investors, but that could generate more cash than they need to sustain strong growth. In the episode, Dave and Sam discuss why the fund is still bullish on European markets, the outlook for banks on the continent, plus how the fund views Hermes (RMS), Novo Nordisk (NOVO.B) and ASML (ASML).  The pair also unpack what impact Trump’s swathe of tariffs will have on the fund and European companies at wide.  This episode was recorded on 24 January.

    ‘Trusts need to do better’: Boaz Weinstein of Saba Capital

    Dave Baxter and Dan Jones sit down with the founder of Saba Capital, Boaz Weinstein.

In the episode, Dave and Dan grill Boaz on how Saba’s plans would work, what happens if it doesn’t win the votes, his belief that investors will benefit and more. The deadlines for shareholders to vote on Saba’s proposals vary, but in many cases, they are due before the end of January: check with your platform for details.
