One of my dirty little secrets is that I don’t exclusively hold investment trusts. My SIPP includes two open-ended funds that are extremely popular with many investors: Fundsmith Equity and Lindsell Train Global.Fundsmith Equity vs. Lindsell Train Global
Smithson Investment Trust (SSON) released an interim report this morning, giving us a decent look at what’s been happening in four and a half months since it joined the market. There was little in the way of surprises and it looks like everything is proceeding to plan.
It probably wasn’t a great surprise to see that Smithson Investment Trust is looking to raise more cash. But it was a little surprising that it was left so late and that it’s increasing by so much.
Applications are now open for Smithson Investment Trust, the keenly anticipated new offering from Terry Smith’s Fundsmith. No doubt many people will be happy to take the plunge purely on the basis of the great run the Fundsmith Equity Fund has had. But here are a few things that I think are worth knowing before you make any decision.
Comments from Terry Smith in recent weeks led some people to believe that Fundsmith was about to launch a small-cap investment fund. This morning it was confirmed: Smithson will soon be with us.

I’m not the first writer to use this terrible headline to describe Fundsmith Emerging Equities (FEET). I suspect I won’t be the last either. Some four years after it launched, with its performance yet to truly impress, it seems a valid question.
I should start by saying that I’m a big fan of Terry Smith, who is Fundsmith’s CEO, and I am an investor in the main Fundsmith Equity Fund. I suspect I may well purchase Fundsmith Emerging Equities at some point, too, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
