What do I need to know about Unit Trust Investments?

Regulatory Framework

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 and the Trustee must be approved by the Securities Commission.
