Investors Trust company history timeline
Scottish American was set up in 1873 and funded the construction of the railways which helped bring together the United States of America.
In 1873, Robert Fleming launched the Scottish American Investment Trust (now called Dunedin Income Growth) to finance the building of the railway network which would ultimately link the United States of America.
Alliance Trust, launched in 1888, was originally founded as a mortgage bank, raising capital from British investors and lending it to pioneer farmers in the north western United States.
James Budden, director of retail marketing and distribution at Baillie Gifford, points out: “Baillie Gifford’s founders launched the Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust in 1909.
Witan was set up in 1909 to steward the fortunes of the man behind the London and North Eastern Railway and the Manchester ship canal.
Majedie Investments, set up in 1910, these days a global fund of funds, traces its origins back to rubber plantations in the Far East, as does Scottish Mortgage.
By the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, 90 investment trusts had been established.
The collapse of the American stock market in 1929 brought enormous losses and many failures to the investment trusts.
United States REITs were established by Congress in 1960 to give all investors, especially small investors, access to income-producing real estate.
The groundwork for the Modern REIT Era followed with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, when REITs were given the ability to operate and manage real estate, rather than simply owning or financing it.
