Bankers Investment Trust is a large British investment trust dedicated to investments in major international businesses, particularly FTSE 100 companies.[2] The company is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.[3]
The company was incorporated in 1888. Seven of the directors at that time were bankers, so it was named Bankers Investment Trust. Following financial difficulties in the Australian banking sector, it was unable to pay dividends in 1892 and 1893.[4] It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1957.[5]
