The Investment Trusts

Investment trusts are publicly traded companies that pool money from investors to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets. Managed by professional fund managers, they aim to generate growth or income for shareholders. Unlike mutual funds, investment trusts are limited companies listed on stock exchanges, meaning their share prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, sometimes trading above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value. They provide a way for individual investors to access a broad range of investments with the flexibility to buy and sell shares easily.
