Invest Your Trust

Investment Trusts are 'pooled' investments that can be invested within an Individual Savings Account (ISA) or as a stand alone investment.

Typically, Investment Trusts (IT's) will be investing in 200 to 300 companies, enabling substantial diversification at extremely low dealing costs, plus, they are professionally managed by a Fund Manager, leaving all the investment decisions to the experts.

The underlying investment is directly in company shares, rather than units of a fund. This is known as a 'closed end investment'.

Due to there being a limited supply of shares at any particular point in time, it also allows the manager greater flexibility and investment options. This is because any investment may be purchased at a discount, and the trust also has the opportunity to gear (borrow) against itself offering potentially greater investment returns. An Investment Trust is generally regarded as a higher risk investment compared to an OEIC, which would typically invest in a greater number of shares and other types of investments.

The value of SOME investments ARE not guaranteed and can go up and down depending upon investment performance.
