Open or closed? 11 July 2008
I want to invest a modest monthly sum for my two grandchildren aged seven and three years old, with a view to helping them with college fees when the time comes. What are the relative merits of using unit trusts and investment trusts to achieve this?
The company I deal with only mention unit trusts in their promotional material, although they say it is possible to purchase investment trusts through them. Do they concentrate on unit trusts because there is more commission for them, or are there good reasons for favouring this type of investment?
