Actively managed unit trusts - The basics

• An actively managed unit trust means that your money is invested in a portfolio of assets selected by a professional fund manager (an actively managed fund).
• Each fund manager monitors companies, economic conditions and markets, and decides where best to invest to meet the fund's objectives.
• Each year, our fund managers meet with several hundred companies in the UK alone, to personally evaluate their management strength and growth prospects in order to make investment decisions.
• Each of our actively managed unit trusts has its own individual aims. However, all Legal & General funds share the same basic aim: to get you the best possible returns without undue risk.
• There is a range of thirteen actively managed unit trusts to invest in online.
• Once you have invested with us you can manage your investments online, anytime.
• Unit trusts are designed as medium to long term investments of, ideally, at least five years.
• Both capital and income values may fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. You may not get back the money you invested.
• If you choose an actively managed unit trust which invests overseas, changes in exchange rates between currencies will cause the value of your investment and the level of income to rise or fall.
