Investment Trusts

 
Investment trusts

If you want to invest in the stockmarket, it is a good idea to have a diversified portfolio, rather than putting all your money into one company's shares.

 

However, it can be difficult to diversify effectively if you don't have huge sums of money to invest.

 

Investment trusts can be a way round the problem. 

 

Investment trusts have a professional fund manager buying shares in a range of companies, thus spreading the risk. And they generally have lower charges than unit trusts.

 

We have one investment trust, the Framlington Innovative Growth Trust Plc and you can find out more by visiting their website.
