Unit trust is probably one of the worst investment one could buy. according to warren buffett, a monkey is better investor than unit trust manager.

Unlike brk.a, u.t charge management fees annually; in long term, this management fees is substantial; a reason why u.t is promoted as a long term investment.

thumbsup.gif yes,...in the long run .... the mgmt. fees added into substantial amount....
if the fund performance,...who cares...
well there are always more "unnoticed" losses to start with...like internet, astro bill etc. etc,
I am very sure UTs are created for some target group of people....just like insurance, astro, internet providers....

those that want it will gives a lot of reasons for it, those that don't want it will gives a lot of excuses for it.....
