I am named as a beneficiary of a small trust fund. Back in July it had a portfolio value of $200k. My most recent statement just arrived and its now woth just $140k. Those of you that have investments, are your values dropping like this or is my portfolio manager just an idiot? 75% is in equities and the other 25% is in fixed income. Just wondering if we could help ourselves by getting someone else to manage this thing. At this rate it isnt going to be worth jack by the end of 09.
