Besides that it's a damn sight easier dealing with a share of a trust, than a tenant. Especially with the ones which are PIES e.g. ARG, PFI. GMT, PCT. Not even any paper work, with no tax to worry about. Augusta is not a PIE, and Stride. comes with stapled shares in a management company Stride is a PIE, but the stapled shares in SIML are not.
The million dollar question, or .5m in my case, is how do I choose this portfolio and secondly how do I manage it. I am not averse to researching the subject but I am afraid of getting it wrong.
