how is the people's trust not just another investment trust?
user
well the people's trust's ipo prospectus is now (2017-09-08) available for all to read (or there's a smaller "information leaflet").  (may need some disclaimers to be clicked to get access).  both have a "highlights" bullet-point list: coverage here has a comment thread with some responses by the founder attempting to answer the obvious objection that there's other multi-manager trusts on a discount (e.g alliance trust on ~ -5.5%), so why would you buy this one on a (very small) premium?  (update: there's also another recent analysis here.) personally, i'm thinking the answer to the original question "how is the people's trust not just another investment trust?" is pretty much: "it's just another investment trust" (albeit one with its own particular quirks and goals).  but good luck to them.
