Unit investment trusts offer a simple, convenient and affordable way to develop a well-diversified investment portfolio of stocks and/or bonds without having to select, choose and manage the individual investments yourself which saves significant time.
The investments within a unit trust are fixed for a predetermined time, which means the investments do not change unless a company is bought or merged with another company or a company’s financial condition becomes irreparable. This means you always know what you own. Securities in the trust will not be sold to take advantage of market conditions.
