Selecting The Right Unit Trust - How Do I Find A Unit Trust That Fits My Objective?


It used to be simple selecting a unit trust. Today, there are a multitude of different unit trust funds available in the market that making that choice is no longer easy. Perhaps a simpler way is to first identify your investment objectives. If you want your money to grow a larger sum in the future to pay for an objective and your risk tolerance is higher, you may choose a growth fund to do the job. On the other hand, if you need an ongoing income stream to pay for expenses and your risk tolerance is low, a better choice would be a bond fund. You may have different investment objectives, risk tolerance and time horizons at any one time, which warrants owning a mixture of different unit trust funds for different investment purposes.
