Investments in commodities and natural resources bounced back to make it the top performing investment trust sector in 2016, according to new figures from the Association of Investment Companies (AIC).
Natural resources shares were the top performing sector in Europe by some distance during April, according to Euromoney Indices.
There are a number of reasons to suggest the tough times faced by the natural resources sector may come to an end, according to JP Morgan Asset Management.
