If you enjoy the weekly podcast, you may also find value in joining The Money Makers circle. This is a membership scheme that offers listeners to the podcast an opportunity, in return for a modest monthly or annual subscription, to receive additional premium content, including interviews, performance data, market/portfolio reviews and regular extracts from the editor's notebook. This week, as well as the regular features, the Circle features an in-depth profile of the Alliance Trust (ATST), as well as a list of fifteen large and liquid investment trusts which Jonathan believes look attractive on discount grounds if we are nearing the end of the interest rate cycle.
