- AIs actively managed and frequently trades securities
- BDoes not distribute income to investors
- CCan only invest in government bonds
- DHas a fixed portfolio that is not actively managed✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Why D — Has a fixed portfolio that is not actively managed
A unit investment trust holds a fixed portfolio of securities that is assembled at creation and generally not changed. Unlike mutual funds, UITs do not have an investment adviser actively managing the portfolio. UITs have a stated termination date, at which point the portfolio is liquidated and proceeds are distributed to unit holders.
