Looking to steer clear of the AI trade?

Investment trusts offer access to more than just equities. UK income, financials, energy, infrastructure, property and debt all provide alternative avenues to explore.

David Prosser looks at where investors could turn: https://t.co/6ELif6ITrf

Can AI deliver growth while addressing investors’ concerns?

Misinformation, job losses and loss of human skills are top worries, according to our research.

@NickBritton_ : “…if there is a market correction then AI companies may have to work harder to persuade investors that they can deliver growth while addressing their wider concerns.”
