In this week's edition of the Weekly Investment Trust Podcast, Stuart Watson fills in for Jonathan Davis who is away on holiday, to provide the latest news and events from the past week. Before going away however, Jonathan did get the opportunity to speak with Dean Buckley and Andrew Ross, chairmen of the Alliance Trust (ATST) and Witan Investment Trust (WTN) respectively - two trusts which are in the process of a merger. We are grateful for the support of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which enables us to keep the podcast free.
