whats the difference between a UNIT TRUST and a INVESTMENT TRUST?

cheers!

A unit trust is a pooled investment, where a group of investors get together to buy a collection of assets. It's sort of like a big investment club.

An investment trust, on the other hand, is itself a company, which in turn holds a collection of investments. You can buy shares in the company to get partial ownership of its assets.

In the long term, the two perform similarly. But in the short term, an investment trust can trade at a price that is higher or lower than the value of the assets it owns, due to supply and demand in the markets. Unit trust prices typically stay much closer to the prices of the underlying assets.
