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.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”71393″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=”” css=”.vc_custom_1444504142602{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”#e2e2e2″ type=”normal” thickness=”1″ up=”” down=”” el_class=”dotted”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Owning a unit of the trust means you own a proportional share of all the investments within the portfolio. It also means that, for a fraction of the cost, you can have diversified investments (including stocks and\/or bonds) that may normally require $100,000 or more to purchase on their own.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” padding_top=”” padding_bottom=””][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs style=”flat” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”When to Consider” tab_id=”1444300654474-2bfb86dc-fd3a”][vc_column_text]Unit investment trusts may be suitable for most investors, whether they’re conservative, more aggressive or somewhere in between.
