BlackRock World Mining Trust Ord BRWM
has returned to our ISA bestseller list as geopolitical tensions spur the gold price to a series of fresh highs.
With President Donald Trump agitating further to take over Greenland and threatening a fresh round of tariffs in the process, the gold price exceeded $4,690 an ounce this morning, a new record. Gold, silver and copper had already hit fresh highs in the last week.
Investors have duly piled into the BlackRock trust, which had sat in 14th place the week before and has almost 40% of its portfolio in the shares of mining companies focused on gold. The fund also has a 19% exposure to copper but a minimal allocation to the silver sector. Jupiter Gold & Silver I GBP Acc sits just outside this week’s table in 11th place.
On a related note, Seraphim Space Investment Trust Ord SSIT
whose holdings are benefiting from a rise in defence spending and whose shares traded on a premium of around 22% to net asset value on the back of strong demand, dropped down slightly to fourth place.
Artemis Global Income I Acc spends its second week in the top spot, with Royal London Short Term Money Mkt Y Acc again just below it.
The usual host of global tracker funds appear in the table, as does investment trust stalwart Scottish Mortgage Ord SMT
and high-yielding renewables play Greencoat UK Wind UKW
We also still see Artemis SmartGARP European Eq I Acc GBP in the list.
