Much Like a Mutal Fund – But Less Transparent
By Staff Reporters
Recently, we received this query from a physician-investor. So, we went right to the innovator of this financial product for the answer.
A collective trust is similar to a mutual fund that only sells to institutional investors like 401-k and 403-b plans. Because a collective trust doesn’t take on retail investors, it’s exempt from some regulatory requirements, so beware!
But, not having to deal with retail investors also makes the costs lower.
