Investment trusts. An investment trust is a company that is listed on the London Stock Exchange and that has been formed for the purposes of investing in shares (and which, therefore, gives its investors the opportunity to invest in shares on a pooled basis). In that respect, they are similar to open-ended collective investment schemes (see the “Collective Investment Schemes” section below) but, unlike an open-ended collective investment scheme, an investment trust is closed-ended. This means there are a set number of shares available, and (in the absence of a formal increase in capital) this will remain the same no matter how many investors there are. The price of the investment trust shares depends on two main factors:  the value of the underlying investments (in this respect it works in the same way as open- ended collective investment schemes); and  the popularity (or unpopularity) of the investment trust shares in the market. The second factor is relevant because an investment trust is closed-ended – it has (in the absence of new issues) a fixed number of shares. The laws of economics say that if there is a high demand for something, but limited supply, then the price goes up. So, if you own some investment trust shares and there are lots of people who want to buy them, then you can sell them for more money. On the other hand, if nobody seems to want them, then you will have to drop the price until someone is prepared to buy. The result is that investment trust shares do not simply reflect the value of the underlying investments, they also reflect their demand in the market. This feature may make them more volatile than other pooled investments (such as open ended collective investment schemes) assuming the same underlying investments. Investment trusts can borrow money to invest. This is called gearing. Gearing improves a trust's performance when its investments are doing well. On the other hand, if its investments do not do as well as expected, gearing lowers performance. An investment trust that is geared is a higher risk investment than one which is not geared (assuming the same underlying investments). Venture capital trusts (“VCT”s) were introduced by the UK government in 1995 to encourage investment in smaller unquoted companies. They provide a source of capital for small companies and help the UK economy to develop. A VCT is a company, run by a fund manager, which invests in other companies that are not quoted on a stock exchange but may be listed on the Alter...

Investment trusts. Investment trusts can utilise gearing techniques which exaggerate market movements both down and up which could mean sudden and large falls in market value. Some investment trusts may also have warrants in issue which, if exercised, may have a negative or positive effect on net asset value.

Investment trusts. Investment Trusts are companies that invest in the shares of other companies. Most investment trusts can, and many do, borrow money to make investments. This can increase the volatility in the value of the underlying assets of the trust.
