Definition of underwriting
Underwriting: The practice of guaranteeing to buy shares in a company if nobody else wants them. The underwriters receive a fee for their guarantee and hope the shares prove so popular that they do not end up owning them. Financial institutions such as pension funds often participate in underwriting. They are then known as underwriters. This is also a term used in the insurance market to mean taking on a particular risk. The underwriter is the insurer who takes the risk, and is paid a premium, often from the general public, for doing so. In this context an underwriter is just another way to describe an insurance company. Unearned income: Unit trusts: A form of investment where investors’ money is pooled in order to purchase a spread of shares to spread the risk. This enables an investor to have exposure to a larger range of companies than individual resources alone might allow.
