wouldn't call it an advantage, but the difference is you have your financial planner to help you keep an eye on the stuff, he will advise you from time to time, his commission ride on the performance of the funds, hence if the funds are losing money then his commission will reduce as well
this is more suitable for those don't have the time to monitor prices all the time, and also to those very new to the world of UT like me

They charge a ~0.5%-1.0% p.a.wrap fee for those service. The wrap fee is based on total invested NAV, hence when your NAV goes down, his commission also goes down. However to compensate on the wrap fee, the sales charges are lowered to 0.5%-1.0% per purchase/switch accordingly.
So fee structure will be :-
1 Wrap fee 0.5%-1.0% p.a. based on daily NAV
2. Sales charge 0.5%-1.0% - one time
3. Fund Management fee - 1.0%-2.0% p.a. based on daily NAV
So for example your holding is 100K RM daily average, the 'FA' fees will be RM 500- RM 1000 per annum for his advice...

So whether if it is suitable for you or not, depends.. and they only trade in UT carried by FSM. And each FA can have many clients... and your UT portfolio will tend to be trade heavy...
