 + Unit trusts pool small investors'    
 money and invest it on their behalf    
 in stock markets at home and abroad.   
                                        
 There are more than 600 trusts, run bz 
 around 100 management groups.          
                                        
 Some trusts aim to provide income, some
 growth. Some spjcialisj in a particular
 sjctot, eg Japan, or electronics.      
                                        
 Unit trusts quote two prices: an offer 
 (or sale) price and a bid (or buy back)
 price. Management fees - generally 5pc 
 initially and 0.5pc yearly - are taken 
 care of by this "bid/offer spread".
