Know-What: Examples of Unit Trust Companies in Malaysia and The Fund Names

 

Just like any other legit investment instruments/vehicles out there, as an investor we are encouraged to study a bit about the investment instruments/vehicles that we intend to invest or participate in.

The Basics – Rule of Thumb about investing in Unit Trust:

  • Set Our Objective – 10% return or more
  • Know Your Risk Appetite – perform suitability assessments to know if you are an aggressive. moderate or a conservative investor
  • Define Portfolio – by not putting everything in one single fund, diversify into few good potential funds that have exposures to various asset classes from various companies in a single portfolio
  • Set Your Time Horizon – medium term or long term i.e. 3 years, 5 years, 10 years or more
  • Periodic Monitoring – for unit trust investments, we can monitor quarterly or annually depending on the asset classes that we have
  • Portfolio Rebalance – perform switching when necessary i.e if you have an aggressive asset class to switch to lower risk asset class during market downturn or vice versa

Example of Asset Classes

P/S Read up the sections on Investment Strategy, Permitted Investments and Fund Risks inside the Master or Supplementary Prospectus of the Funds to have better understanding about the Unit Trust Fund before investing.
