Investment Trusts may borrow money in order to make further investments. This is known as "gearing". The effect of gearing can enhance returns to shareholders in rising markets but will have the opposite effect on returns in falling markets.
The Trust has a bank debt facility of £130m which may be used as gearing at any time.
