Host Richard Hunter, head of markets at interactive investor, is joined by Money Observer editor Faith Glasgow, who offers insights into the most popular funds and investment trusts with interactive investor customers in April, the best performers during the first 50 days of lockdown, and why dividend cuts might not be as bad as they seem, while Moneywise editor Rachel Rickard Straus gives listeners a taste of a new podcast aimed at beginner investors. Finally, interactive investor’s Dzmitry Lipski names his fund of the week from the ii ACE 30 list of ethical investments.
