The People's Trust, the crowdsourced investment vehicle created by former Investment Association chief executive Daniel Godfrey, has kicked off its offer period with the aim of raising £125m prior to its stock market listing.

The investment trust, which will list on the London Stock Exchange on October 17, will be seeded with £1.5m from the board. It aims to return 7% a year after costs, over a seven year period.
