An OEIC works in a very similar way to a unit trust except that an OEIC is legally constituted as a limited company (Plc). OEICs have been operating outside the UK for some time, but only since 1997 has it been possible to operate an OEIC in the UK.
OEICs are not trusts and do not therefore have a trustee. Instead, however, they have a depository which holds the securities and has similar duties to a unit trust trustee.
Most OEICs operate as umbrella funds which means that the OEIC is authorised and then can set up sub-funds without gaining individual authorisation for individual sub-funds. Each sub-fund has different investment aims. For example, a sub-fund may specialise in the shares of small companies or in a particular country, such as the USA. Each sub-fund can also have different charges and minimum and maximum investments. Unit trusts are allowed to do this too, but few do.
Most OEICs only have one unit price and the initial charge is added as an extra. Unit trusts always have two prices, the lower or bid price is what you get when you sell back to the managers; the higher or offer price is what you have to pay when you buy.
THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE INCOME THEY PRODUCE CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE. YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVESTED.
TAX TREATMENT VARIES ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you profusely for all your work, time and support in steering me through this process. I have felt very confident that I was in good hands from the outset and appreciated your patience and proactivity in seeking out an alternative provider when the original lender turned me down.
We are completed impressed with the professionalism of Capital Financial Services and their outstanding service.
Colin & Chrissy were extremely helpful in assisting us in arranging our first mortgage. As daunted first time buyers who knew nothing about the process, it made things much easier having them there along the way to answer questions, arrange everything we needed and deal with much of the paperwork on our behalf. They always got back to us promptly and took the time to explain what we needed to do and why. They made the process so much easier for us, so many thanks to them both! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
Colin and the team at CFS arranged our mortgage and life cover. They did an excellent job of talking us through the different options available and explained everything thoroughly, so we fully understood our obligations before proceeding. They were courteous and helpful at all times and we will definitely use them again.
We didn’t fully understand the implications of Inheritance tax, which Colin explained to our family in an easy to understand manner. As a result, we are now secure in the knowledge that the family estate is protected.
After the birth of our first child, we decided to review our finances and contacted Capital Finances Services for independent advice. They were brilliant in advising us on what our priorities should be. It really put everything into perspective and has made us much more aware of our finances. We started with protection plans for our family and are about to make some ISA investments. The fact that the advice was independent really made a difference as the options are much greater and we are comfortable that we have the right plans in place for our needs.
