Overview
We are a self managed investment trust whose purpose is to grow the value of the capital that our shareholders have invested with us. This has been our aim for 125 years and we maintain a prudent approach to investment with an emphasis on long term returns.
Who are we?
We are the UK’s largest generalist investment trust by market value listed on the London Stock Exchange. As at the 31 of August 2012 we managed net assets of over £2.4bn. Our focus is on investment in global equities and fixed income, which we believe will provide good long term growth and income. We have outperformed the global growth sector on an annual basis over 5 years*.
* On a NAV and TSR basis as at 31 August 2012.

At Alliance Trust we believe in the development of our people and therefore offer our graduates room to grow.
