Article Abstract:
With unit trusts, as little as 20 pounds sterling a month can be invested, and the money is pooled with other small investors'. Investing in shares can ensure that the value of the money is not eroded by inflation in the long term. There is a choice between capital growth, income or a combination, and unit trusts are classified into various sectors, such as UK equity sectors, UK fixed interest and cash and overseas access. The types of charges on unit trusts are discussed and information is provided on what to do if a unit trust is performing badly. The best buy units trusts are listed.

Article Abstract:
