Frequently Asked Questions

A Unit Trust is an investment scheme, which pools money from many investors who share the same financial objectives. The Trustee on behalf of the investors holds the assets of the Trust.

By pooling your funds you gain access to investment opportunities, which are normally unavailable to the individual investor.

Investors’ rights and interest are well protected by an independent Trustee (who is appointed to ensure that the manager is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Trust Deed), an independent Auditor and the Securities Commission.

The cut-off time for submission of investment on any Business Day, is 2:30pm over the service counter.

Units would be created on the NAV per unit at the end of the Business Day on which the requests for purchase are received or deemed to have been received by the Manager at or before cut-off time. Any application received after the cut-off time would be considered as being transacted on the next Business Day.

No, returns of funds are not guaranteed as they invest in assets (for example, shares and bonds) which fluctuate in value on a daily basis. The price of the Funds’ investments will rise and fall and consequently cause unit prices to rise and fall. Therefore, we cannot guarantee fund returns.

Income earned by the Fund during the financial year is accrued in its unit’s price until the end of the distribution period. When an income distribution is declared, any interest income and realized capital profits are paid to unit holders. Consequently, the Fund’s net asset value per unit will tend to fall by approximately the same amount as the income distribution.

Unclaimed monies – after 12 months, the Trustee will credit to the Consolidated Trust account and lodge it with the Registrar which will be held for a further 12 months to enable owners of the monies to collect.
