investment trust

Collective investment vehicle

An investment trust is a company that pools money from shareholders to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets—stocks, bonds, property, or other securities.

Unlike mutual funds, investment trusts issue a fixed number of shares that trade on stock exchanges, so their share price may differ from the underlying asset value.
