Money invested in a portfolio whose composition is fixed for the life of the fund. Shares in a unit trust are called redeemable trust certificates, and they are sold at a premium to net asset value.

Unit Investment Trusts (UITs)

UITs are specialized investment companies that design a portfolio of assets held in trust and sold as fractional undivided interests to the public. The interests are commonly referred to as units and the portfolio may consist of equities, bonds, options and other securities. UITs are very flexible with the ability to target specific investment sectors with relatively short maturity dates.
