What is Unit Trust?
Posted by financialplanner8 on April 27, 2008
Unit Trust is an investment vehicle that pools the financial resources of many individual investors who aim to achieve similar investment objectives.“The Mutual Fund is a wonderful invention for people who have neither the time nor the inclination to test their wits against the stock market, as well as for people with small amount of money to invest who seek diversification”.
With Public Mutual you do not need to worry.A pioneer of the Malaysian unit trust industry.Winner of 100 major awards since 1999.Manage more than RM22.8 billion in fund assets(NAV)*. WHolly-Owned Subsidiary of Public Bank.
Here I show you a few comparison on how your savings can grow:
Fixed Deposit: 3.5%-4% Malaysian inflation is 6%-10% .On papers you seem making but the fact you are not benefiting to beat inflation.Price of goods.For example a loaf of whole meal bread today as of April 2008 is RM3.00, can you guarantee the price of bread will maintain RM3.00 for the next few years?
Petrol 8yrs ago full tank is RM40@RM1.20/litre. Petrol full tank today RM70-RM80@RM1.92
So you can actually calculate yourself.Everything up but your FD is almost fixed at 3.5%-4%. How to beat inflation?

Savings Account: 1%-3% P.A No need to illustrate.:)
EPF : 2.5% – 5.8% as of April 2008 Everyone believes at the age of 55you can withdraw your EPF for retirement or children education.Question here is..Is it enough with the current interest rate they giving? How long your EPF can last you? Most people finish their savings within 3-5 years after withdrawal.What you going to do? Work again at age 55? So divert your savings now!!! Don’t put all eggs in one basket.
Unit trust: 8%-12% at times as high as 30% depending on the fund performance. Do not expect to see miracle within 1-3years as mentioned earlier it is a long term planning. Minimum risk, in terms of liquidity fast cash, LOW minimum investment, Competitive returns. Our projections are fully supported by actual facts and figures.
And most important here is the COMPOUNDED INTEREST will prove to you, you make the right decision in life!
