Top frequently asked questions for CT Global Managed Portfolio Trust
A multi-manager investment trust will mainly invest in other investment trusts rather than directly into individual stocks. This provides more diversification within portfolios. This is an alternative to creating your own portfolio of investments as the portfolios are ready-made and managed by an expert Fund Manager.
You can buy shares directly from Columbia Threadneedle Investments through one of our savings plans, or from a stockbroker or from an online trading platform.
When you buy shares in an Investment Trust, your money gets pooled with the money invested from other investors. Using this pot of money, the Fund Manager for that Investment Trust will invest in a diverse range of companies. This diversification lessens the risk of the Investment Trust performing poorly, but doesn’t eliminate it. The aim is to try and return a profit to investors.
Investment Trusts can be less risky to invest in than buying shares in a single company. As with any investment, investment trusts have a level of risk attached to them, so the value you invest can down or up, meaning you may not get back the amount you invest in.
A board of directors or a ‘board’ are elected professionals in their field that are chosen to represent shareholder interests. Their role is to set policies and hire a fund manager that is responsible for picking appropriate investments that could show shareholders more value for their money.

Let's talk about risk
The value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested. Gearing is used for investment purposes to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to an asset, index or investment. The use of gearing can enhance returns to investors in a rising market, but if the market falls the losses may be greater.
