An investment trust is a form of investment fund found mostly in the United Kingdom and Japan. Investment trusts are constituted as public limited companies and are therefore closed ended since the fund managers cannot redeem or create shares. The first investment trust was the Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust, started in 1868 "to give the investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalists in diminishing the risk by spreading the investment over a number of stocks".

Fonds de placement

Un fonds de placement (ou fonds d'investissement) est un organisme de détention collective d'actifs financiers. L'intérêt de la gestion collective est de bénéficier de gestionnaires de placements professionnels et d'économies d'échelle (coûts de transaction moins élevés). Ils fonctionnent en multipropriété, en émettant auprès des épargnants, sous forme d'actions, des titres de propriété qui représentent une part de leur portefeuille. Ils sont généralement à capital variable, ce qui permet des souscriptions et rachats à tout moment par les épargnants.
