What are unit interests in the context of a mutual fund?
I'm trying to understand how LOFs work in different geographies and I sometimes encounter the term "unit interests." The fact that it is never elaborated on suggests that it is assumed to be somewhat universal, widely known. However, even illustrious online references such as Investopedia don't have an entry for this concept. Here is an example sentence:  Once approved by the Stock Exchange, the unit interests of a mutual fund can be issued through the trading system of the exchange and become listed as LOFs. I get some of the overall concepts of LOFs, like how they can ease redemption pressure on the mutual fund itself by allowing investors to redeem cash from a LOF (and not the mutual fund). It's when we get to the actual mechanics of it that I don't understand the process/terms. Perhaps unit interests here means ownership of the equity assets inside the fund (what retail investors pay into the fund). But if that's the case then the fund manager is decreasing the size of the fund anyway, by their own doing.
