Simon Thompson’s Bargain Shares updates, tax on overseas divis, podcasts & more

IC Daily email update
October 25, 2018

In his column today, Simon Thompson updates his market beating 2018 Bargain Share Portfolio and highlights a number of repeat buying opportunities to take advantage of. Last week, Simon published three online-only columns for digital subscribers in which he ran his slide rule over some attractively priced small-cap companies - see his home page for more.

Meanwhile, for those investors who like to dabble in overseas companies, Philip Ryland’s feature on how to account for the withholding tax some countries levy on dividends paid by overseas companies is a must-read. If funds are your preferred way of accessing overseas companies, then Taha Lokhandwala’s Big Theme piece this week on European funds gives an insight into which funds may be too concentrated.

Taha expanded on this subject in the IC Personal Finance podcast on Friday, in which Emma Agyemang also looked at when investors should sell funds. In this week’s Companies & Markets show Phil Oakley and Harriet Clarfelt discussed how investors can identify when growth companies go bad.
