Questor investment trust bargain: this fund has a large discount to net asset value and a strong record of outperformance
Investing in shares is rarely a smooth or stress-free journey. It is filled with periods of disappointment and doubt that can prompt less experienced investors to give up. However, in Questor’s view, it is imperative to stay the course with high-quality investments that offer great capital growth potential over the long run.
Emerging markets, for example, have experienced a very challenging year thus far.
China’s zero-Covid policy has acted as a major drag on performance; it is largely responsible for a sharp slowdown in the country’s economic growth rate, which declined from an annualised 4.8pc in the first quarter to just 0.4pc in the second.
Partly as a result, China’s stock market has slumped by 14pc since the start of the year. It and other emerging markets have also been affected by weaker investor sentiment, which has prompted capital to flow to less risky locations.
