Key features: - Typically requires FCA approval for admission to the Official List and admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange (a recognised investment exchange under FSMA 2000), becoming effective by or immediately after completion. - Protects offeree shareholders by ensuring the consideration securities are marketable on a regulated market. - If admission is not obtained, the bidder may allow the offer to lapse, unless the condition is validly waived in accordance with the Code and the offer terms. Usage is broadly consistent across England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

UK investment trusts: definition, HMRC approval criteria and ongoing requirements for favourable tax status

Investment trust An investment trust is a collective investment vehicle structured as a listed, UK tax-resident public limited company. Despite the label, in legal terms an investment trust is a company rather than a trust.
