EXPOSURE TO MULTIPLE INVESTMENTS WITH A SINGLE INVESTMENT
When investing in a Unit Trust Fund, investors can gain exposure
to
diverse securities with a
single investment.
For example, an Equity Unit Trust Fund investor will gain exposure to all the stocks in the fund
portfolio with a single investment. Similarly, an investor in the Money Market Fund will gain
exposure to all the fixed income securities the portfolio is invested in, such as Fixed Deposits, Commercial Papers etc.
Compared to separately investing in different instruments, this
is
much more efficient in terms
of cost.
AFFORDABLE
The minimum investment for Guardian Acuity Unit Trust funds is only Rs. 1000. Thus, an investor can be part of a substantial fund with a small investment and benefit from relatively high yields. Because the overall fund sizes are large, investors can benefit from greater scale.For instance, the scale that comes with a larger fund size allows fund managers to negotiate for better rates and prices from financial institutions.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
Investment decisions are made by a team of qualified fund managers who possess professional expertise in specific asset classes. The fund managers supported by a thorough research and analysis. Thus, it takes the burden off the investor to track market movements and rebalance their portfolios accordingly.
HASSLEFREE
Units can be bought and sold any business day, so you have easy access to your money.
