What is an Investment Trust?
It is a type of “closed-ended” collective investment vehicle structured as a public limited company. An investment trust pools money from investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets like stocks, bonds, or property. Unlike mutual funds, investment trusts have a fixed number of shares, meaning they do not issue or redeem shares daily based on investor demand.
