Unit Trust:

Unit trusts are collective funds that allow private investors to pool their money in a single fund, thus spreading their risk across a range of investments, getting the benefit of professional fund management, and reducing their dealing costs.

Unit trusts are open-ended in contrast to investment trusts, which are closed funds. Different trusts have different investment objectives: investing for income or growth, in small companies or large, and in different geographical regions.

The values cannot be guaranteed and can go up as well as down.
