Briefly: Share-for-trust swap scheme

INVESTORS who want to swap from any fully quoted UK share into an investment trust managed by Foreign & Colonial can use a new service operated by the Birmingham-based stockbroker ShareLink. It will sell the shares for a minimum commission of pounds 20, which applies to sales up to pounds 1,333. The money is invested in one of F&C's eight investment trusts via the savings scheme.
