We begin by discussing Diageo, a global leader in premium beverages, who released a profit warning last week. Sales are expected to fall in the new financial year with issues in Latin America and the Caribbean. The market reacted badly, understandably, with analysts also alarmed. But can strength in the US market buoy these negative prospects?

We follow on with the results of two commercial Reits: British Land and Land Sec. Given rental growth seems to be better than expected, what have the businesses been doing to protect their businesses during the downturn? 

Moving on to our 2023 Investment Trust Special, our team gives a whistle-stop tour of some of the trusts that feature in the supplement, the portfolios professionals are cherishing this year and more. We also dive into a bit of the detail of one of the articles, Around the World in Eight Investment Trusts, including two UK trusts that look impressive.
