Investment Trust Centre sponsored by Aberdeen Asset Management. For more information on Aberdeen Asset Management's investment trust range click here.
An investment trust is a company with a fixed share capital listed on a stock exchange. It is also known as a closed-end fund or investment company. Investors buy shares in an investment trust as they would in other shares such as Tesco or BT.
You can usually put an investment trust into a SIPP or ISA.

Star ratings: They are based on quantitative historical performance measures, and funds are ranked within their own sectors. The lowest rated funds in a sector carry a single star, and the highest 10% are awarded five stars. Funds without a star rating are usually less than three years old or are in a small (less than 10 funds), or unclassified sector. A fund with no star rating need not necessarily be viewed as a poor fund.
Risk ratings: These range from very low, to very high and are colour-coded from green through to red. Funds without a risk rating are usually too young to have been assigned a risk rating.
All prices in pence sterling (GBX) unless otherwise specified. Price total return performance figures are calculated on a bid price to bid price basis (mid to mid for OEICs) with net income (dividends) reinvested. Performance figures are shown in sterling unless otherwise specified.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change.
