Investment Trusts

Allianz Global Investors and its predecessors have been managing investment trusts since 1889, providing investors with access to investment opportunities around the world.

Investment trusts are among the oldest forms of investment vehicle. They are public limited companies (PLCs), just like the shares of the companies in which they invest, but their sole aim is to generate returns for investors. Each trust is a company listed and traded on the London Stock Exchange that has its own independent board of directors whose duty it is to look after your interests as an investor.

Investment trusts allow you spread your risk, as you are not reliant on the fortunes of just one or two companies.
