How to invest in “Unit Trusts”

Investors may choose to invest in Unit Trusts in lump sum through Non-discretionary Trust accounts. In general, there is a minimum limit on subscription for lump sum investment. - Periodic Trust Fund Subscriptions in a Fixed Amount (Monthly Investment Plan)
In such mode of investment, investors do not have to consider the timing factor. What they need is to make arrangements with the bank to allocate a fixed amount of investment in specific funds every month from their trust accounts. The bank will then execute the investment order as planned and scheduled and deduct the prearranged amount from the account designated by the investors and invest in selected funds. Some banks even accept credit card charges in the investment of funds.
