Invesco Select Trust plc: Balanced Risk Allocation Share Portfolio

Lockdown measures brought economic growth to a halt in 2020, but financial markets have entered 2021 with a sense of optimism as Covid-19 vaccines are available and being distributed, while fiscal and monetary support remains at extreme levels. Here we review the performance of the Balanced Risk Allocation share portfolio and the outlook for the rest of the year.

Investment risks

  • The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange-rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

    When making an investment in an investment trust you are buying shares in a company that is listed on a stock exchange. The price of the shares will be determined by supply and demand. Consequently, the share price of an investment trust may be higher or lower than the underlying net asset value of the investments in its portfolio and there can be no certainty that there will be liquidity in the shares.

    As a result of COVID-19, markets have seen a noticeable increase in volatility as well as, in some cases, lower liquidity levels; this may continue and may increase these risks in the future. In addition, some companies are suspending, lowering or postponing their dividend payments, which may affect the income received by the Invesco Perpetual Select Trust plc UK Equity Share Portfolio and the Invesco Perpetual Select Trust plc Global Equity Income Share Portfolio during this period and in the future.

    Fixed income securities may not always make interest and other payments nor is the solvency of the issuers guaranteed. Market conditions, such as a decrease in market liquidity, may mean that the product may not be able to sell those securities at their true value.

    The product makes significant use of derivatives for investment purposes, which may result in the product being significantly leveraged and may result in large fluctuations in the NAV.

    The product has exposure to commodities which are generally considered to be high risk investments and may result in large fluctuations in the NAV.
