Investment trusts are companies that exist to own shares in other companies. In this way you can buy one share in a trust, that owns shares in 20 companies. So you have less risk of losing all your money if one of the 20 companies goes bust. 95% less risk.
Unit trusts, funds or OEICS (open ended investment companies) are other types of collective funds, but different from Investment trusts.
