Emerging Alternatives to Mutual Funds: Unit Investment Trusts and Other Fixed Portfolio Investment Vehicles

Abstract

Thomas Harman offers a comprehensive analysis of the Unit Investment Trust. First, he defines the trust, examining the mechanics and participants associated with it. He then traces the development of the trust since its inception as a fixed trust. Next he discusses the regulation of the trust by the Securites Acts of 1933 and 1940. Finally, he compares the unit investment trust with other investment vehicles
