    For the benefit of others who appreciate advice and guidance :)

    Investment trust are more accountable, listed on the LSE with a board of directors.

    Investment are trusts closed ended funds, whereas unit trust funds shrink and grow making them harder to manage and thus for the fund manager to plan for.

    Investment trusts always have a market for the shares, Unit trust operators can choose not pick up the phone as in times of crisis and SET the price ... etc..

    Also up front charges on Unit trusts can be as high as 7% !

    I am sure I did a post a while back on the advantages let me find it and link it

    Perhaps 'research' should also include the search button of this forum :rolleyes:

    GOING OFF-TOPIC

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: While it’s easy to wander off-topic that often prevents newbies finding the information they want quickly and easily. Please keep this thread on topic. If you’d like to discuss non-MoneySaving related topics please continue your discussion in The MoneySavers Arms or Discussion Time. If you have any questions about this policy please email !!!!!!.

    Please be nice to other moneysavers.

    Thanks for that isasmurf and Martyn. I hadn't expected to find that kind of silliness - it's what has always put me off other forums in the past. As a newbie I appreciate the advice that's being given by, I assume, people who know a lot more than me. That kind of spat is unhelpful to everyone.

    Shame you feel that way. :confused:

    I would have thought it is the function of a forum like this to discuss all the issues.

    I agree telling posters to !!!!!! off is unhelpful, however it does serve to prove the credibility of the individuals who were actually giving you some fairly specific advice that you may have acted on.

    I hope you reread the initial posts and conclude that certain individuals were trying to help you.

    Isamurf is strangley very choosy when he uses Martyns post

    Did the OP not mean at the risk of him getting boring, not you, Deemy? Or was there some other insult?
