When investing, make every dollar count. Invest in Unit Trusts which are professionally managed funds to help you grow your wealth.
A Unit Trust invests a pool of money, collected from a number of investors, in a range of assets. By pooling your money with that of other investors, you’ll be able to invest in a wide range of assets. Successful investments in the assets add value to the fund and their returns are then distributed back to investors.
Unit Trusts are collections of different assets and commonly invest in stocks or bonds or a mix of both. To reduce risks, these investment assets are diversified in geographical markets and industry types.
Unit Trusts are typically classified by geography, sector and type of assets held. A fund house's fund name would reflect these. For example, if a fund name reads "Yellow Pebble Asia Energy Equity Fund", this means that the fund is managed by a fund house called "Yellow Pebble" which invests in equity stocks of companies in the energy sector that are listed in Asia.
Professional management by fund managers who have greater access to investment information and tools. You can therefore benefit from their expertise and full time attention given to research
Risk management by investing in a diversified collection of assets
Liquidity, as most Unit Trusts can be redeemed daily, freeing up cash as you need it
Affordability as it allows you to start investing from just S$100/month or a minimum lump sum of S$1,000
Greater diversification enabled by a bigger investment capital pooled from a group of investors
Illustration: How does Dollar Cost Averaging work?
The example above shows how Dollar Cost Averaging in Invest-Saver (UTs) can result in a lower cost per unit and lower average price per unit. With the same total contribution of S$1,000, Invest-Saver (UTs) allows you buy more units (total of 1,069.00 units) at a lower average unit price of S$0.935 over five months as compared with lump-sum contribution (total of 1000.00 units bought at a unit price of S$1.00 in January).
All Invest-Saver (UTs)'s monthly contribution will fall on the 15th of every month (or the next business day if the 15th is a non-business day). Please note that the respective debiting date is subject to change.

To counter inflation and longevity risks, not investing is a risk. Build wealth by buying quality assets and allow time for them to compound and grow. A good money habit is investing regularly to harness the power of compounding. Invest at least 10% of your take-home pay and grow your investments to at least 50% of your net worth.
