How do you put income distribution into the picture?

in what picture?
distribution you get more units but the price will drop after that.
so basically there is no change in the amount of value one had before and after distribution.

guys
in fundsupermart, anyone can explain this?
im not sure my understanding is correct or not

"Unlike the forward pricing basis applied to most unit trusts, the Cash Management Fund will be priced on the historical pricing basis. This means that the investors who buy into the Cash Management Fund will be able to view the fund’s actual unit price for the preceding trading day, and buy into the fund at that price. Forward pricing, on the other hand, only allows investors to view the price at which they have bought in their units on a particular trading day, one or two trading days after the date of transaction."

anyone can give example for this?

try this?
What is "Forward Pricing"?
https://www.fundsupermart.co.in/main/resear...19?articleNo=89

Q: What kind of pricing method does the Cash Management Fund use?
A: The fund will be priced using Historic Pricing method, instead of Forward Pricing method used by most of the unit trusts.
Investors who transact a buy or sell transaction on the Cash Management Fund on a Monday or the first business day after the public holiday(s), will have the price of their units determined on the calendar day* immediately before the date of transaction.
* A calendar day includes Saturdays, Sundays and designated public holidays.

Q: Why is Historic Pricing method used for the Cash Management Fund?
A: By using the Historical Pricing method, there will be NO lag time when you place a unit trust buy order using Cash Management Fund or switch your Cash Management Fund into another unit trust. This would mean that the unit trust you wish to buy or switch-buy will be transacted on the same day if the buy or switch order is placed before 3pm on any business day.

Are there any other funds ANYwhere that use this? Does it go against some regulation, because it seems all other funds even international, don't operate this way.

[2] What is your opinion of the "young investors funds" that accept a small monthly amount over many years to buy into a balanced fund?

When u invest in a fund u are expected to read the prospectus

if u are not agreeable, don't invest
