Unit trusts let you pool your money with thousands of other investors and spread it across a larger number of investments.
That way the dealing costs are shared and all the administration and paperwork is done for you, at a tiny fraction of the expense of doing it yourself.
Because you're investing into lots of companies, you're spreading and reducing your risk. So you get to benefit from stock market performance without having to limit yourself to a few companies.
You can invest in a Virgin Unit Trust on your own, with a partner, or even as a company, making it an ideal investment for your business.
Or you can set up trusts for other people, making them a fantastic way to build up a nest-egg for your children or grandchildren.
For investments in our FTSE All-Share Tracker Fund or our Bond and Gilt Fund there's a single annual management charge of 1% of the value of your savings, and that's it. There are no other charges, and no charges at all on our Cash ISA.
With our Climate Change Fund there's an annual management charge of 1.75%. There may also be a
performance related fee, which we only earn if we outperform agreed benchmarks.
