The Diverse Income Trust (LON:DIVI) Head of Equities and Co Fund Manager Gervais Williams joins DirectorsTalk Interviews to discuss current market conditions and opportunities.

With government bond price weakness this summer, Gervais discusses the impact this has on stock market investor, whether they should worry, problems for businesses like Wilko’s, peaking inflation, smallcap verses larger cap share prices and a focus on risk management.

The Diverse Income Trust plc (LON:DIVI) invests primarily in quoted or traded UK companies with a wide range of market capitalisations, but a long-term bias toward small and medium sized companies.

The Company may also invest in large companies, including FTSE 100 Index constituents, where it is believed that this may increase shareholder value.

The Managers adopt a stock specific approach in managing the Company’s portfolio and therefore the amount apportioned to a particular industry sector is of secondary consideration. As a result of this approach, the Company’s portfolio does not track any index.
