Investment trusts

Buying shares in an investment trust makes you a shareholder, giving you a vote on how it is run. Read more here about how you can invest in investment trusts.

Important information - please keep in mind that the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular investment. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.

Making sense of transaction charges and dealing costs

Because investment trusts are listed on a stock exchange, choosing to invest in one will incur additional charges:

  • Most investment trusts have two share prices. There is the one you buy at (the offer price) and the one you sell at (the bid price). The result is effectively a transaction charge for investing in the fund.
  • When buying an investment trust you pay 0.5% in stamp duty. Stamp duty is not charged when you sell.
