Unit Investment Trust

An investment company that invests in a professionally selected portfolio of bonds and/or stocks. Unlike a mutual fund, the portfolio's investments are fixed over the life of the trust, are not managed, and have a stated or known maturity. Units of the trust's investment portfolio are sold to investors through brokers as a pro rata share.
