FCA sustainability labels are boosting trust, but challenges remain. @NickBritton_ says the labels are “starting to make a dent” in scepticism around sustainable investing, but “it’s too early to say that the problem has been fixed”.

Always good to debate, Ian! Katie Potts, legendary manager of Herald Investment Trust recently told me her opinion that passive investing was “dumb money”. Love Cowie’s Clangers and stratospheric trust successes @seraphim_space and Polar Capital Technology Trust. @AICPRESS
Putting a bit of fizz into the debate re active v passive investment; my share whose price soared 18 times before it helped to buy a cottage on the coast. Tracker fund fans might get a birthday card from the king before they enjoy investment returns like that! thetimes.com/article/8f3c8aa…

Tempus rates City of London Investment Trust a buy in @TimesBusiness. "We are sticking with that buy advice because for those that want UK market exposure without the headache of having to build and monitor their own portfolio then it is difficult to beat what is on offer here." @AICPRESS tinyurl.com/yjb886zr

.@NilsPratley analyses the vote at Baillie Gifford US Growth stating: "The choice, then, is between a known strategy that has been successful, with a few bumps, or a mystery ride under Saba’s tame directors. The analysis should not be hard: shareholders should stick with the existing board. Independence matters." @AICPRESS @BusinessDesk tinyurl.com/4wahsb63

Must read from @ruthiesun on Saba's attack on Baillie Gifford US Growth in @DailyMail! "A US hedge fund kingpin is hijacking British investment trusts against the interests of private shareholders, the City and the country as a whole. I urge shareholders in BG US Growth to use their vote. Deadlines on some platforms come as soon as October 14." @AICPRESS @BaillieGifford tinyurl.com/ye27575f
