Includes
open-ended investment companies authorised by the Financial Services Authority under the Open-Ended Investment Companies (Companies with Variable Capital) Regulations
Details
Property Unit Trusts have an open-ended share capital structure and hold, manage and maintain real estate portfolios (which could consist of a single property), for investment purposes (for renting to tenants), but could also be used to hold property for development or under construction. Units in these vehicles are typically traded through the fund manager and are not traded on a stock exchange.
