1. Public sector - UK government.

In the public sector, a trading fund is a structure established with the intention of allowing an agency, department, or part of a department to:

  • Enjoy a degree of independence and commercial discipline, for example by retaining surpluses for future use.
  • Reduce its dependency on repeated reapplications for central funds.
  • Thereby improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the provision of public services.


Examples in the UK include Companies House, the Crown Commercial Service and HM Land Registry.


2. Public sector - other governments.

Similar structures in other jurisdictions.
