Invesco Perpetual

Invesco Perpetual's co-head of fixed interest Paul Read has said he expects the UK's base rate to rise in the first quarter of next year, in contrast to the forecast of his former colleague Neil Woodford.

Invesco Perpetual has promoted Andrew Hall to co-manager on its £163m Global Opportunities fund alongside Stephen Anness.

Mark Barnett has cut some of former manager Neil Woodford's favourite holdings in the £1.4bn Edinburgh investment trust, adding 14 new stocks since the beginning of the year.

Mid-cap stocks have suffered a harsh and indiscriminate sell-off in recent weeks, and managers have pointed to liquidity concerns as a possible trigger for the falls.
