What is a Unit Trust Fund?

A Unit Trust is a fund which pools together investors’ money (collective investment), which is then invested into a diverse portfolio of assets. The pooled money in the Unit Trust Fund earns income in the form of dividends, interest income and/or capital gains, depending on the asset class the funds are invested in.

The Enwealth Capital Unit Trust Scheme is an umbrella fund comprising five sub funds, namely the Enwealth Money Market Fund, the Enwealth Equity Fund, the Enwealth Balanced Fund, the Enwealth Dollar Money Market Fund and the Enwealth Fixed Income Fund. The objective of the Enwealth Capital Unit Trust Scheme is to provide a medium whereby investors can obtain undivided participation in a diversified portfolio of securities.

Can I redeem funds from my investment?

Affordability: generally, you can start investing with as low as Kshs 1,000. Liquidity: you can buy and sell unit trusts on any dealing/business day (except on public holidays). Professional management: fund managers spend their working lives researching and managing investments; with a unit trust, their expertise is working for you. Diversification: you spread your investment across a diverse portfolio. And a regulated investment environment.

Are Unit Trust Funds risk free?

No. However, it is deemed that the risk is lower as compared with other investment instruments because unit trust funds are based on diversification, and risk is reduced through the purchase of a wide array of different assets.

Are the Unit Trust Funds returns guaranteed?

No. Returns are not guaranteed on any of the funds. Interest income, dividends and capital gains vary with market conditions and the performance of the underlying portfolio. Investors should choose a fund whose risk profile and time horizon match their own needs and risk appetite.
