The investments are not actively managed except as they must be to match the index.Unit trust is a set of investments, normally bonds, that are purchased, packaged, and pettled to the public as shares in the package. They are unmanaged.

Unlike mutual funds they are actively traded on the stock exchanges ie real estate investment trusts but not always. Some are not actively traded, but nevertheless they are pools of investments in which shares have been sold to the public. There are other kinds besides real estate investment trusts. Under a broad definition, hedge funds might be considered investment trusts for example. Perhaps even mutual funds. Certainly closed end funds would fall under that category.
