Professional Asset Management after WWI: UK Investment Trusts’ Portfolios Strategies in the 1920s

Antonis Kyparissis

Research output: Contribution to ConferencePaper

Abstract

The establishment and the evolution of financial markets have been a core topic in the department of economic history. Inside financial markets, crucial is the role of the institutional investors. In this paper I will examine the institutional investors’ asset management policies in the interwar UK, focusing on the Investment Trust Companies’ (ITC) investment strategies. Very little research has been conducted in the ITCs; additionally, the existed one mainly focuses on the Victorian period. This vacuum I will try to investigate; in particular, a) the ITCs’ asset allocation, b) their geographical and sectoral portfolios’ compositions in the decade of 1920s.
