What Is An Option?
An Option is a contract giving the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset (a stock or index) at a specific price on or before a certain date (listed options are all for 100 shares of the particular underlying asset.) An Option is a security, just like a stock or bond, and constitutes a binding contract with strictly defined terms and properties.
What are Investment Trusts, Mutual Funds and Unit Trusts?
An Investment Trust is a company with a stock exchange quote that invests its shareholders money in a portfolio of shares in other companies. In effect they are collective investment funds with a fixed capital and a fixed number of issued shares that are traded on a stock exchange. As they have a fixed capital they are known as ´closed end´ trusts to distinguish them from Mutual Funds/Unit Trusts.
