Edison Issues Report on Murray International Trust (MYI)

London, UK, 29 August 2024 - Edison Investment Research Limited has released a new report on Murray International Trust (MYI). The managers, Martin Connaghan and Samantha Fitzpatrick, emphasize that despite robust market performance in the first half of 2024, caution is warranted. The dominance of US mega-cap technology companies, largely driven by AI growth, has narrowed market leadership. Any earnings shortfalls could trigger broader share price declines.

Central banks face the challenge of balancing inflation control with economic growth. Geopolitical tensions, ongoing conflicts, and the upcoming US presidential election add layers of uncertainty. MYI's strategy focuses on high-quality, dividend-paying stocks within a well-diversified portfolio, both by sector and geography, to manage near-term market volatility.
