Accumulation Units

Definition of 'Accumulation Units'

In the UK, this is where income from trusts is reinvested rather than being paid to investors, which would usually be in the form of dividends.

By re-investing the money the trust can raise the unit price, effectively making the investments more valuable, or by issuing additional units, which gives each investor more of an investment.
