| Definition |
a company that invests the capital provided by shareholders in a wide variety of securities. It makes its profits from the income and capital gains provided by these securities. The investments made are usually restricted to securities quoted on a stock exchange, but some will invest in unquoted companies. Investment trusts, which are not usually trusts in the common sense, but private or public limited companies, differ from unit trusts in that they are closed-ended. Besides, in the latter the investors buy units in the fund, but are not shareholders.
