The Securities Commission is responsible for regulating all
matters relating to unit trusts. It has, with the approval of
the Minister of Finance, issued the Securities Commission (Unit
Trust Scheme) Regulations, 1966 (the "Regulations")
and formulated the Guidelines on Unit Trust Funds (the "Guidelines")
to govern the operation and administration of unit trust schemes.
The Regulations and the Guidelines have been established with
the objective of providing a regulatory environment that would
protect the interests of the investing public and facilitate
the orderly development of the unit trust industry. All parties
involved in unit trust schemes must comply with the Regulations
and Guidelines including all relevant legislation.
The appointment of the Management Company, its Director, Chief
Executive Officer, Investment Committee members, Shariah Adviser
