What is a Unit Trust?
A unit trust is a collective investment scheme where you 'pool' your money with other investors into a fund which is then invested in a wide range of stocks and shares or fixed interest securities.

Unit trusts provide a level of diversification as your return isn't dependent on the performance of just one or two companies but spread across a whole range of companies with a single investment.

The fund is actively managed by a fund manager who uses his or her experience and talent to research and select companies with the aim of achieving maximum returns based on the investment objectives and policy of the fund.

Invest to achieve your goals
Jupiter offers a wide range of unit trust funds to suit your needs. You can choose between funds which aim for long-term capital growth and those which aim to provide a regular income, and you can tailor your portfolio by choosing any one or a combination of funds.

The minimum monthly investment into a unit trust is £50 or £500 for a lump sum.

All our unit trusts (except the Jupiter UK Alpha Fund) are qualifying funds for Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs).
