What is an Investment Trust?
An investment trust is a public limited company (PLC) traded on the London Stock Exchange, so investors buy and sell from the market. It invests in other companies, seeking to generate profit for its shareholders.
Important information: please keep in mind that the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular investment. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to an authorised financial adviser.
Essentially, your money is pooled with contributions from many other people, and used to buy a portfolio of investments. Just like other types of investment funds.
But investment trusts are unique - after all, they've been around for over 150 years, that's a lot longer than other investments. Chosen and managed by an expert team, they give you access to a much wider and more diversified portfolio.
