The team begin by examining the latest fund and trust news, including record investment trust fundraising, whether there are signs of ESG ‘investor fatigue’, and top-performing funds and trusts in the first half of the year.

Later, Nicholas Weindling, manager of the JPMorgan Japanese (LSE:JFJ) Investment Trust, joins the podcast to discuss how he finds the best companies in Japan, the themes of e-commerce and automation, and whether the country could enjoy an Olympics bounce.
