Seeking growth AND dividends? 3 investment trusts to consider in August
UK share investors have a vast selection of investment trusts to choose from today. Whether someone is seeking growth or passive income — or a combination of both — there are plenty of options to suit every individual's investment style. With this in mind, here are two top, balanced trusts worth serious consideration right now. Global dividend trust Through a combination of share price gains and dividend income, the Bankers Investment Trust (LSE:BNKR) has delivered an average annual return of 11% over the last 10 years. To put that into context, the FTSE 100's delivered a 7% return on the same basis. The FTSE 250 index of mid-cap growth shares produced a 5% average return. Bankers could be an especially great trust to consider for investors leaning more closely towards dividends. It targets payout growth 'greater than inflation, as measured by the UK Consumer Prices Index', and has raised cash rewards for 58 consecutive years. The trust's portfolio comprises roughly 100 global shares, and has significant holdings in technology shares such as Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and Alphabet. This provides significant growth potential as the digital economy rapidly grows. In total, around 32% of the fund is tied up in tech stocks. But remember that this high weighting could cause Bankers to underperform during economic slowdowns. High yield growth trust The JP Morgan Global Growth & Income (LSE:JGGI) trust has performed even more strongly over the last decade. Since summer 2015, it's provided an average annual return of 17.1%. As a consequence, it's comfortably achieved its goal of providing better returns than the MSCI All Country World Index. The total return here sits way back at 10.5%. This JP Morgan investment trust doesn't have the stunning dividend growth record of Bankers. Cash rewards fell sharply in 2016 after it reset its payout policy, reflecting plans to deliver dividends totalling 4% of its net asset value (NAV). But dividends have grown strongly since then, and the revised policy means the trust beats most UK shares on yield. Like Bankers, it holds a high proportion of US tech shares. This leaves it vulnerable to a slowing global economy, as well as a prolonged market shift from Wall Street equities to non-US stocks. UK dividend trust City of London Investment Trust (LSE:CTY) has also raised dividends consistently for more than half a century. They've grown every year since 1966, to be exact. Combined with share price gains, this means over the last decade the trust's delivered an average annual of 10.6%. I strongly believe returns could substantially improve over the next 10 years as broader demand for UK shares continues to pick up. You see, City of London is focused on blue-chip companies from Britain's stock market. These make up around 93% of the entire portfolio, in fact, with major holdings including HSBC, BAE Systems, Shell and Lloyds. This geographic allocation creates more regional risk than those other global trusts I've described. But it also provides the potential for greater returns if the recent shift from US equities to UK stocks continues.

Trump's ‘Slap in the Face' Puts Neutral Switzerland in Trade-War Crossfire
MEZZOVICO-VIRA, Switzerland—When Nicola Tettamanti looked at his phone Friday morning, his first reaction was disbelief: Overnight, President Trump had slapped Switzerland with close to the highest tariffs of any country in the world. Tettamanti is the chief executive of a 55-year-old precision toolmaking business nestled in this mountain-hugged town. He had planned in the near future to expand further into the U.S. by opening an office in Indiana.

Oliver Antman to Rangers transfer hampered by Celtic as Jakob Breum stance made clear by agent
Go Ahead Eagles' CEO Jan Willem van Dop had declared that the club will only sell one of Oliver Antman and Jakob Breum this summer. It comes with both Rangers showing interesting in Finnish international Antman - while Celtic have seen bids turned down for Dane Breum already this summer. A fee of around £5million has been reported for Antman after he netted seven goals and an impressive 17 assists to help fire his club to Dutch Cup glory last term. READ MORE: Three emerging Celtic transfer headlines as Ambrosino gets second chance and Hoops 'lead' chasing pack for Man City kid READ MORE: Jamie Vardy to Celtic transfer can't be ruled out amid 'box office' endorsement The Eagles are reported to be expecting an offer from the Scottish Premiership side for the 23-year-old. And when speaking to De Oosttribune, Van Dop insisted the club would not sell both of their key men. Asked about interest from the Glasgow giants in Breum and Antman, he responded: "Those are the guys who are in the spotlight. I think one of them will ultimately leave." The comments come after Breum's agent has told the Dutch club his client wants to join Celtic this summer. But the Scottish champions have been warned they must stump up the cash to sign the 21-year-old. The Hoops are in need of reinforcements on the flanks after Nicolas Kuhn joined Como in a £17.2million deal - while Jota is sidelined until next year. Van Dop insists the club won't sell on the cheap - having already knocked back a more substantial bid from FC Twente: "There was a question (from FC Twente), and that was about Jakob Breum. That's negotiable, but only if the price is right. "And we couldn't reach an agreement on that. What I did find positive was that his thoughts were certainly higher than the official offer Celtic ever made. "I've told Celtic that we won't be accepting their offer. I spoke to Breum's agent on the phone Monday morning, and he hopes he'll go that route. "We're certainly not the most difficult club, but it has to be a good fit. "And if we can't reach a financial agreement, we also have the right to say: well, it's not going to happen." Asked if the club had set an asking price in the region of £5.1million, he cryptically added: "We've set a ceiling."
