Division has confidence in such financial instruments (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
unit trusts
'such financial instruments' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'division has confidence' is the wordplay.
'division' becomes 'unit' (I have seen 'Standard division ' mean 'unit' so perhaps 'division' could also mean 'unit').
'has confidence' becomes 'trusts' (I've seen this in another clue).
'unit'+'trusts'='UNIT TRUSTS'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unit trusts that I've seen before include "Are they invested in for rainy day" , "Investments" .)
