Preferred term

investment trust fraud  

Definition

  • Investment trust is a somewhat term misleading because it is the name for a type of company, and not the same as assets held for some particular use or administered for some special purpose. Investment trusts are not trusts formed by contracts in a written form as either inter vivos or “living trusts” created while the maker is still alive.
