   • 2011, Faith Glasgow, Personal Finance and Investing All-in-One For Dummies:

     If you know what you want by filtering down the 1,600 or so trusts to a short list and then studying the information on each via online sources, then you can buy your trust and get all or nearly all of the commission back into your bank account via an Internet investment supermarket. Here, you select your fund, decide whether you want it as an Individual Savings Account (ISA), and pay for it with a credit card.
