Unit Trusts take advantage of the pooled funds to give individual investors access to a variety of investment instruments. The economies of scale offer the opportunity for investment in diverse portfolios which you would otherwise not be able to enjoy as an individual. Further, the diversified range of assets reduces the risk you would face if you directly invested in only one asset class.
They are created by what is called a deed, which constitutes a contractual agreement that governs the relationship between you, the investor, the investment/fund manager, the trustees and Capital Markets Authority, who supervise and ensure the integrity of the investment plan for Unit Trusts. As a result, the investors rights are protected.
The fact that your investment is pooled with others, gives you access to investments that would otherwise be unaffordable or inaccessible to you as an individual investor.
Your funds are managed by a team of qualified and experienced professionals who advise and guide you throughout your investment journey based on your goals, risk profile and your current financial position.
There are no fixed periods per se so you can access your money whenever you need it in part or as a whole, with no penalties. For amounts less than KES 10,000 via mobile money, you can access your funds under 24 hours, whilst those above KES 10,000 can be sent to your bank account within 3 working days.
You can save for your different goals using one platform via our DigiTrust portal and track all your progress under one dashboard.
