Our Expertise

Unit Trust Funds

Investors pool their money into unit trust funds (UTFs), which are managed by professional fund managers and invested in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments, or other authorized securities.

The pooled money in the Unit Trust Fund earns dividends, interest income, and/or capital gains, depending on the asset class. Unit trust funds usually issue investors with units in exchange for their investments, which act as a portion of the underlying portfolio of securities.

At Kuza Asset Management, you can choose from a variety of Unit Trust Funds tailored to your specific needs.
