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.
