Its...really wonderful
Article Abstract:
British investment trusts have become more popular following a strong performance, and fund managers are investing in an advertising campaign. Investment trusts are quoted companies pooling investors' money, offering lower charges but higher levels of risk than unit trusts. They are able to have aggressive styles, though they are affected by problems that affect stock markets, such as a crisis in emerging markets in the late 1990s. They can be used as part of a British individual savings account (Isa), both for lump sums and for regular savings schemes.

Top gearing
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom investment trust managers are reconsidering their attitudes to borrowing as interest rates drop and competition increases. Borrowing makes sense when equity returns are better than returns for fixed interest investments. Investment trusts may issue debentures with rates set for 20 years. Structural gearing may become more popular as a result of the Jul 1997 Budget which has meant that tax credits cannot so easily be used to offset costs of financing.
