Re the @IEMplc announcement @rwstone1 said: “It’s concerning that the Saba nominated directors have not provided any biographical details, or any information on their plans for Impax Environmental Markets should they be appointed.  Shareholders deserve clear information on directors’ skills and their proposals to help them make an important decision about the future of their investment trust."

The best strategic decision I made in the past decade or so was to go global with my forever fund, forget being patriotic with the pension and remember that there is a world of opportunities just a click away.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and all things digital helped put this fund at the top of the “Europe” sector over the last decade, five years and one-year periods. Total returns were 232%, 104% and 23%, respectively. An enviable hat-trick! https://t.co/9gxT67y6gI

Nobody expected this £7.9 billion investment trust to double in the next year last May - and quite a few predicted an imminent correction - but the share price has soared 107% higher since then. Bears sound clever; bulls make money! https://t.co/uFJnWgxCj5

[Annabel Brodie-Smith @annabelbrodies]

Interesting commentary from @albrummer on Herald - @aberdeenTrusts Saba deal for @thisismoney. "Best defence for the sector is maximum transparency, doubling down on efforts to close the valuation gap and making sure that savers, investing through platforms, are given tools to vote with ease. @AICPRESS https://t.co/5LV5cKdWje

We have responded to the announcement from the board of Edinburgh Worldwide this morning.
It is expected that the current board will cease to be directors of the company with effect from the end of today’s AGM, and that the three directors nominated by US hedge fund Saba Capital will be appointed to the board.

.@AICPRESS responds to the Edinburgh Worldwide announcement that Saba nominated directors will be appointed to the board. “Though the end result will not be what retail shareholders wanted, the commitment that they have shown to supporting their trust is extraordinary – turning out in record numbers to back the existing board and mandate." https://t.co/Bn1R3KjHwF

Insightful perspective from @MaikeCurrie for @Times on the savvy squirrel campaign. She sees investment trusts like @seraphim_space as a way to turn savers into investors. "Investment trusts can take a genuinely long-term view. They are not forced sellers in volatile markets, can access illiquid assets and smooth income over time." @AICPRESS https://t.co/aAG6wRKQYd
