WHY INVEST IN UNIT TRUST???

Why Invest in Unit Trust?
Professional Investment Management
The fund managers who take care of your unit trust funds have access to
information and statistics from leading economists and analysts. Consequently,
they are in a better position than individual investors to identify opportunities
for your investment to grow.

Diversification

Unit trusts allow you to broaden your portfolio. With your nest-egg spread
across a basket of securities, your overall investment risks are reduced.

Liquidity
An investor can sell his units, wholly or partially, at the following trading
day's unit buying price. Units have a high liquidity, that is, they can be readily
converted into cash.

Ease of Transactions

Unit trusts provide investors with a simpler, more convenient and less
time-consuming method of investing in securities. The paperwork that comes
with managing your own portfolio of shares and bonds are handled by the
fund manager.

Security

The interests of unitholders are protected by the appointment of an
independent trustee to hold the fund's assets on behalf of the unitholders.
The trustee will also ensure that the fund manager will always manage the
fund in accordance to the Deed of the fund and the Guidelines issued by the
Securities Commission.

Affordable and Flexible

The minimum initial investment amount is low as compared to investment in
shares and/ or bonds. Furthermore, additional investment can be made in
even smaller amounts than the minimum investment amount.
