Ordinary income shares

I have created the ordinary income stub but am reluctant to link Ordinary income shares to that, yet. Anyone wish to weigh in how we can make an explanation on both pages and keep it simple? Thanks. Have Gun, Will Travel 02:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whats this?

'Traditional' investment trusts normally issue only one type of share (ordinary shares) and have a limited life. I thought that IT shares were perpetual stock issues. Anyone care to explain this observation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.209.117.165 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 3 May 2008

Utter bollocks, that's what. I really am getting sick to the teeth of the low quality of personal finance articles on Wikipedia. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 22:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Collective Investments

It should be noted that Investment Trusts are not collective investments in the same sense as a collective investment schemes (CIS). In the articles opening statement this isn't clear. Investment Trusts are companies and are traded on the stock exchange as equities with supply and demand setting the price where as a collective investment scheme (unit trust/ open ended investment company) are not sold on the stock exchange and there price is determined by the value of there underlying assets.

Not sure I agree - I would say that collective investment schemes can be either open-ended or closed-ended. 57.66.103.6 (talk) 15:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
