RTW Biotech

I noticed an article in the telegraph touting the attractions of this fund and wondered if anyone on TLF follows it?
I'm always a bit suspicious when I see recommendations for shares trading at all-time highs, especially penny stocks like this one.
I don't own any but I am currently building an allocation of healthcare shares in my taxable account and RTW does seem to offer good growth possibilities albeit with high risk.

Yes, Questor does have a consistent habit of writing articles about shares that have already increased a fair bit. I would think very carefully before taking anything in that column seriously. I am not really interested in reading articles about shares I could have made money from but didn't.

Sorry if I'm a little late to the party on this one, I never look at this topic, but I've just watched a short video on interactive investor by Kyle Caldwell and he recommended this fund as a 'sate!lite' choice, along with three other mainstream trusts.I thought this might help with your decision, although I realise I'm 12 months late!

I tried to buy this trust after listening to this quite enlightening podcast at the beginning of the year:

Unfortunately, the broker where I had the money to make the investment wouldn't facilitate the deal (it doesn't appear in the list of securities at Halifax sharedealing, and they declined my request to add it.)

In the end I went for a more pedestrian investment trust.
