What is a Unit Trust?
 
A Unit Trust is a pooled investment plan in which the capital contributions of investors are combined into a legally formed Trust Fund. The money is then invested by professional fund managers, acting on behalf of the investors, in a portfolio of marketable securities. In return for their investments the investors receive 'units' (shares) in the Trust Fund. The income derived by the Fund by way of dividends, interest and capital gains are divided among the unit holders in proportion to the number of units they hold, in accordance with the distribution policy of the fund.
