Unit trusts are a pooled investment fund managed by a professional fund manager.
Often a crucial component of a stocks and shares (Investment) ISA, a unit trust offers a range of benefits and solutions for medium to long term capital growth and income.
Could it be right for you right now?
- Choice. The choice of unit trusts is large. Because of this, they give you potential access to global market sectors you might normally struggle to access.
- Diversification. A unit trust allows you to spread your investment across a broad range of shares and assets.
- Risk-reduction. Because your money is spread across different shares and assets the risk to your investment is reduced.
- Accessibility. A unit trust should ideally be a medium to long-term commitment.
- Professionally managed. Run by experienced, expert managers. With a dedicated fund manager at the helm, it should reassure you that your money is in good hands.
Also:
- If kept as part of an ISA, a unit trust allows you to benefit from a stock market investment without further liability to Income or Capital Gains Tax.
- For tax planning purposes, unit trusts can also provide investors with additional flexibility to utilise their annual Capital Gains Tax allowance.
Before investing in a Unit Trust, it's important that you read our Key Investor Information Documents and Supplementary Information Document.
