SYNDICATE

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 293 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SYNDICATE , a
term
  originally meaning a
body
  of syndics. In this sense it is still sometimes used, as at the university of
Cambridge
 , for the
body
  of members or committee responsible for the management of the University
Press
 . In commerce, a syndicate is a body of persons who combine to carry through some
financial
  transaction, or who undertake a common adventure. Syndicates are very often formed to acquire or take over some undertaking, held it for a short time, and then resell it to a
company
 . The profits are then distributed and the syndicate dissolves. Sometimes syndicates are formed under agreements which constitute them mere partnerships, the members being therefore individually responsible, but they are now more generally incorporated under the Companies Acts.
The more usual eases in which syndicates are commonly formed will be found in F. B. Palmer's
Company
  Precedents, loth ed., vol. i. pp. 129 seq.
