A unit trust is an investment fund that pools contributions from multiple investors to achieve shared investment objectives. The combined funds are invested in a diversified portfolio of financial instruments to generate returns. These include but are not limited to bank deposits, corporate debt, shares and government securities.
Each investor receives units in exchange for their contributions and returns are distributed based on the unit value and the number of units owned.
Your best-suited fund will depend on your appetite for risk and current financial status. For example, a high-risk investor may prefer investing in the stock market while an investor with a low risk appetite is likely to opt for a fixed income unit trust.
It is recommended that you diversify investments across different asset classes. Below are examples of our funds:
| Fund | Risk Appetite | Liquidity |
|---|---|---|
| LYNEAR Wealth Income Fund | Moderate | Moderate |
| LYNEAR Dynamic Opportunities Fund | Moderate – High | Moderate |
