Dunedin goes Japanese

The public offer for Dunedin Fund Managers' Japan Investment Trust opens on Monday and runs until 23 July.

Dunedin - whose Japan unit trusts have far outstripped the average fund since launch - is seeking to take up to pounds 50m. Just over a third of the 1 per cent annual management fee will go to Barnado's, the children's charity whose wealthier supporters have been mailed with details.
