Launching later this month - [url][https://am.jpmorgan.com/gb/en/asset-management/gim/adv/products/investment-trusts/jpm-multi-asset-trust-plc/url]
I like the look of this in terms of some IT diversification, however equally I'm struggling to see the need to buy in to the IPO as I can't see it being likely it will immediately rise in value, also while the charges are ok-ish I also think even cheaper ETF life strategy type alternatives must be better despite the potential leverage advantage of an IT.
Any views, anyone thinking of buying?

Re: IPO - JPMORGAN MULTI-ASSET TRUST PLC
Thanks for flagging this up.
It does look potentially interesting. However, at this pre-IPO stage, it's very far from clear how the broad investment remit will be interpreted, and what mix of securities will be adopted.
I'm also not 100% clear on the potential risk of double-charging. From the Prospectus (Section B.34), the trust will have the ability to invest in a wide variety of assets, including:
Both of these seem to have the potential for additional charges over and above the 0.65% / 0.6% AMC of the trust itself.
All in all, I think it's one to take a look at once it's been up and running a few months (assuming it makes it off the runway), once things have settled into a more definite shape. Are there any obvious benefits I'd be missing out on by waiting? I didn't see any, but then I didn't have the patience to watch the videos.

As with any IPO, you save on Stamp Duty and Broker commission. If you anticipate that the share price will rise to a premium over NAV, you have the advantage of buying at par. It could move to a discount of course.
Whilst a fund of funds might appear a good idea, it can just be an excuse for double charging.
There was a recent failed IPO for a multi-manager IT. Peoples Trust or some similar name.
Re: IPO - JPMORGAN MULTI-ASSET TRUST PLC
I see from the JPM website that 'JPMorgan Multi-Asset Trust is the roll-over vehicle for JPMorgan Income & Capital Trust plc'. The latter is being wound up after a fixed life of ten years and was mainly UK equities. The new trust has a more diverse and global remit.
