Look at management fees.

Once you buy in, you already start at a lost. You need to recover management fees before talking of profits, if any.

As in any investment - it is BIGGER FOOL THEORY. Just find a bigger fool than you to buy or help you to offload your shares/units.

Re: Unit Trust
 

I did ask him. He told me fees minimal as its being shared by investors. The only downside is when u wish to sell theres a 3% fees incurred and also the difference in share price when u bought and sold. So it could be either to or against your favour.

Re: Unit Trust
 

Fees shared by investors - it is bull shit. He charged everyone the same management fees. How can he show you percentage being shared.

So you have buying management fees and selling management fees which are sunk costs. Need to deduct these before think of any profit.

Re: Unit Trust
 

Any bros here, looking for investments and has a slightly higher risk appetite can PM me. Have a venture, but so far, first month return is >100% ROI. And after one month, you can divest one, take out one. Not MLM, no sales involved.

Re: Unit Trust
 

He showed me couple of investors portfolio. Decent returns. They did make some profit whether they offload or remain invested because every mth they receive payouts.

Bro

Going by your questions, you seemed to be a newbie.

Why don't you read up this and have a better understanding of Unit Trusts.

In any investment it come with certain risks. I am just a novice. Just hope to have some professional advice. I am aware of Lehman Bros saga. But NTUC quite stable i thought. Putting into FD save but returns sucks
