What is Unit Trust?

Unit Trust is an investment pool managed by Fund Managers licensed by the Securities Commission

Malaysia. Investments are typically charged a one-time fee when they purchase a Unit Trust and have

annual fees to cover the cost of running the fund thereafter.

Unit Trust funds can be segregated based on their asset classes. An asset class is a group of investment

instruments that share the same characteristics and regulations.

Types of Asset Classes

Before you start investing, it’s essential to assess your investment goals and risk tolerance.

When you’re ready to invest, you can choose from various types of asset classes such as:

money market funds, bond funds, mixed asset funds, and equity funds.

  • Money Market Funds
  • Bond Funds
  • Mixed Asset Funds
  • Equity Funds

These funds invest into highly liquid bank deposits and short-term corporate debt instruments. The debt instruments are typically issued by governments, banks and stronger credit rated corporations. Hence, money market funds have relatively lower risk, but provide stable returns.

  • Suitable for the
    following risk profile:

  • Lowest
  • Low
  • Medium
  • Medium-High
  • Higher
  • Highest

These funds invest into debt instruments issued by governments, banks, and companies that are either higher quality (investment grade), or lower (high-yield). The coupons received from these instruments are usually distributed as income to investors.

  • Suitable for the
    following risk profile:

  • Lowest
  • Low
  • Medium
  • Medium-High
  • Higher
  • Highest

These funds invest into a combination of assets which could include stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. The well diversified nature of this mix delivers decent returns yet come with risk protection.

  • Suitable for the
    following risk profile:

  • Lowest
  • Low
  • Medium
  • Medium-High
  • Higher
  • Highest

These funds invest into publicly listed stocks that are usually spread out by regions & sectors. However, some funds can invest in a single country, sector or theme based on their investment objectives.

The returns on Unit Trust investments are not guaranteed. Unit Trust do not constitute bank deposits or obligations nor guaranteed by the bank and are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal amount invested.

Your insured deposit(s) will no longer be protected by PIDM if transferred to non-PIDM covered institutions or accounts such as Unit Trusts.

Most Unit Trusts have a benchmark to compare their performance against. In simplified terms, a fund is doing well if it consistently outperforms its benchmark. However, since different Unit Trusts have different benchmarks, one way to compare performances between two Unit Trusts is to compare their returns, with higher consideration given to longer periods as Unit Trusts are relatively long term investments (at least 3 years or more). Nevertheless, past performance may not be an indicator of future performance and market environments may impact Unit Trusts differently depending on the assets they carry.

Because Unit Trusts are easily liquidated, unit holders may redeem all or part of their units on any business day and the Unit Trust manager will purchase them. This means that should you need cash, you can easily sell the investment. Most Unit Trusts will allow you to redeem your investments on any given business day. However, keep in mind that you might make a loss in the event that the Unit Trust is sold at a lower price compared to the point of purchase (prices of Unit Trust may shift upwards or downwards depending on the value of the assets they carry).
