Trust shares allow investors to invest in multiple companies, with different legal configurations in various countries. The trust pools money from multiple investors and puts it into multiple security investments, providing diversification and economies of scale. Trust shares can be open or closed-end funds, and there is also the option of holding shares in trust for privacy reasons.
Trust shares are a way to invest in multiple companies. They are used in financial setups in a number of countries, especially the United States and the United Kingdom, although there are some differences in practice from country to country. The phrase trusted shares can also refer to a company share that is held in trust, a tactic sometimes used to maximize privacy.
The concept of trust shares exists in various legal configurations. The most prominent are the US unit investment trust, the UK investment trust, and the unit trust in various countries such as the UK and Australia. The general principles remain the same; The trust pools money from multiple investors and puts it into multiple security investments. The idea is that investors reap both the benefits of diversification, which limits the risk of a single investment going bad, and the economies of scale, such as the trust being able to buy and sell securities at more favorable rates as it trades in great quantities.
The basic idea of the various configurations is that a company is configured to buy and sell the securities. Investors then buy a share or shares, sometimes known as units, in this company. They then receive any profit from the company’s investments, which acts as a return on their own personal investment. In some cases, they will be able to sell their stake in the company on the open market. The exact legal status, including how the company is classified, varies from situation to situation, as does how investments and income are treated for tax purposes.
A significant difference between the builds is their duration. Both the unit investment trust and the investment trust are closed-end funds. This means that the fund operates for a fixed period and is then liquidated, returning the investment and profits to investors. A trust unit is an open fund, which means it continues on a permanent basis. Investors wishing to “cash in” will have to sell their units to another investor.
Another form of trust is the shares of the company, either a private company or a publicly traded company, held in trust. This means that the registered owner of the shares owns them on behalf of someone else. This would normally be done when someone wants the leverage over the company that comes with stock ownership, but doesn’t want their connection to be public knowledge.
