Advantages: Management Disadvantages: current climate
I have just completed extensive research into this area, and have come to the conclusion that the aberdeen global growth team are second to none. Let us take for example the aberdeen global growth technology fund, with its past record second to none. In Mr John Pullar Strecker they have a quality manager with a wealth of experience. Recently the fund has changed its investment objectives to allow it to tap a growth in other countires in addition to the current technology powerhouse, the U.S.A. In the current climate, growth is somewhat minimal due to the rapid slowdown in the U.S economy, however, many expect the tide to turn in the fourth quarter of this year.

Advantages: best trust in what can be the best sector in the market Disadvantages: volatility
already lifted arms embargos on India and Pakistan as a reward for their help in the wake of the crisis. I make no judgements but it is undeniably a godsend for defence companies.

4)Trust funds should be seen as long term plays, up to five years. Pull out now and you could miss the best boom months for share values.
5)Tech will be the first sector to recover in a recession as companies expand capacity.
I am more a historian than an economist and it is impossible to be certain of the future by studying the past. Aberdeen has lost 75 per cent of its value in one year. You pays your money ...

This Saturday was Heritage day and many National TrustProperties where open to the public with free entry. Being local we had visited Knightshayes many years ago but thought we would take this opportunity to take the kids for a freebie.
The house was disappointing to view, particulaly with kids. There is no kitchen or a nursery to view, which I always think are the most interesting rooms in a house as they have changed the most over time. Just bedrooms and reception rooms.
The gardens however are well worth a visit, they are glorious. There is something to look at in every direction with many interesting features. There is plenty of room for everyone and numerous families were enjoying a picnic.
