TERM OF THE WEEK

Investment Trust (Company): Quoted companies which invest in the shares of other companies. They are close-ended and their prices may fluctuate somewhat independently of the value of their underlying assets so their market value can be less (discount) than net asset value. They can also be more (premium) than net asset value.
