Kepler Trust Intelligence offers up-to-date investment strategy research, fund analysis and useful guides for private investors, all written in-house by Kepler's experienced analysts.
Our aim is to build a library of information on investment trusts that can help you make allocation decisions.
We are focused entirely on investment trusts, however we believe that it helps to understand them better if they are placed on a level playing field with OEICs, so you will see comparisons between the two in these pages often.
Our content falls into four categories:
- Investment strategy articles assess opportunities and developments which could impact or should be considered by investment trust investors, positive or negative
- Fund analysis focuses on individual trusts, examining them in detail to create a snapshot picture that investors can use to aid their investment decisions
- News and announcements articles focus on news events like annual and interim results, as well as coverage of our regular live events and trading updates about trusts where something interesting is going on
- Sponsored content appears where an asset management group or investment trust has paid to place a piece of content into the site. This will be clearly marked with the sponsor's logo and a byline attributing the content to the sponsor.
Our focus is on quality, not quantity, so we tend to publish around four or five articles in a given week. For this reason we recommend that you join our mailing list, and we'll send you an email once a week alerting you to what’s new on the site. We won’t sell your details, and we won’t spam you with useless updates.
We provide information, not advice
While we hope that you find the research we publish useful, and we believe it will help you to make a more informed decision, but we must of course stress that none of the research published here constitutes a recommendation, or advice, and you should not think that – just because we’ve published a report on a trust – we believe that trust is a ‘buy’. Please read our terms and conditions.
If you want to manage your own investments we hope that this website is a useful source of information which helps you to do that, however if you are in any doubt, you should speak to a financial adviser.

How we are funded
Kepler Trust Intelligence is made available freely to any person (professional or private individual) who wants to access it. We clearly disclose all of our relationships, but our research is either paid for directly by specific trusts and their boards, or more generally by the larger asset management groups who pay to have adverts and advertorial. As a result, all of our research should be considered “non-independent” and readers should consider it as marketing.
