Put your trust in a collective team
Article Abstract:
Collective investments such as investment trusts, unit trusts and open-ended investment companies allow investors to spread risk. They also offer low share dealing costs, as the fund manager purchases in bulk. Investment trusts are incorporated as public companies, while unit trusts are just funds. Investment trusts have a fixed number of shares in issue, so increased demand for them makes them rise in price. With unit trusts, the fund grows according to the amount of units sold.
