Line 1: Line 1:
An investment trust is a limited liability company whose sole aim is to invest in securities issued by other entities.
Non-transferable risks are risks which must be borne by an organisation.  




Investment trusts are similar to unit trusts.
Non-transferable risks might be avoided or accepted and retained or reduced as appropriate.
 
In the case of non-transferable business risks (which by definition are not avoided) it is important that the organisation has a distinctive competence in the relevant areas.
 
For example, a pharmaceutical company's non-transferable risks would include the risk that failure to gain approval for use of a new drug means that the research and development costs have been wasted.


However, unlike a unit trust, the number of shares that can be issued is limited (it is a closed-ended structure).

Non-transferable risks are risks which must be borne by an organisation.


Non-transferable risks might be avoided or accepted and retained or reduced as appropriate.

In the case of non-transferable business risks (which by definition are not avoided) it is important that the organisation has a distinctive competence in the relevant areas.

For example, a pharmaceutical company's non-transferable risks would include the risk that failure to gain approval for use of a new drug means that the research and development costs have been wasted.
