::BEGINNER ON AMANAH SAHAM OR UNIT TRUST INVESTMENT
What are Unit Trusts?
Unit Trusts are a form of collective investment that allows investors with similar investment objectives to pool their funds to be invested in a portfolio of securities or other assets.
The manager of the fund then invests the pooled money in a portfolio which may include the asset classes such as Cash, Bonds & Deposits, Shares, Property and Commodities.
Benefits Of Unit Trust
It is tough for an individual to maintain his own portfolio of investments, he needs to keep up to date with market information and sentiment.
By investing in unit trusts most of the necessary ‘know-how’ of investing are transferred to those best equipped to handle it i.e. the professional fund managers.
The advantages and benefits of investing in unit trusts are:
Diversification
A larger pool of funds allows the fund manager managing the unit trust to purchase a wider range of investments. Rather than concentrating an investment portfolio into one or two investments or shares, a portfolio of market securities can be held. The wider the spread of investments, the less volatile (i.e. variable) the investment returns will be. In simple terms, investment into unit trusts means diversification of risk: “not putting all your eggs in one basket.”
Liquidity
Most investors require that their investment be liquid. That is, they can easily buy and sell within a short period of time. Unit trusts provide this benefit, being bought and sold easily. An excellent return that cannot be “cashed-in” (i.e. sold) does not necessarily mean a good investment as poor liquidity constitutes an additional risk factor for the investor.
Professional Fund Management
The people making investment decisions for unit trust holders are professionals. Their training and background ensures that decision making is structured and according to basic investment principles. In the process, unit trust funds enjoy the depth of knowledge and experience that fund manager bring. In the long term, it is this expertise that should generate above average investment returns for unit trust investors.
Affordable and Investment Exposure
For the individual investor, it is sometimes difficult to gain exposure to a particular asset class. For instance, if an investor with RM3,000 wanted to gain exposure to the property market, global equity markets and bond market, it would be impossible to simultaneously hold a direct investment portfolio in all of these markets. With unit trust investments, it is possible to spread your money around to all of these asset classes at the same time, so that the investor can gain the investment exposure he requires.
Wholesale Investment Costs & Access to Investments
When making small investments, the investor faces costs and charges that are much higher. Unit trust funds are investing with large amounts, so that the economics of the transaction are more favorable i.e. the fees and charges/brokerage etc. per investment ringgit are likely to be less.
Also, because fund managers invest in larger amounts, they are able to get access to wholesale yields and products which are impossible for the individual investor to obtain.
Funds for All Type of People
There are many different types of funds that will suit to any level of risk to cater different type of people.
Safe and Secure
Unit Trusts only make investment and do not give out loans thus, the situation where liabilities more than assets will never arise.
More free time
Yes, we have to monitor our investment performance but since the fluctuation of the unit trust fund is not as frequent as stock market and that we have our Professional Fund Manager to look after the investment, we may keep track the fund on a weekly basis. More free time for us.
Attractive Returns
Unit Trust has proven that it is an excellence hedge against inflation. Unit Trust in some countries has shown a return of between 10% to 15%.

Clarification on Individuals Undertaking the Activities of Distributing and Marketing of Unit Trust
This FAQ provides clarification and guidance to Question 8 of the current FAQ on the Single Licensing Regime (In Reference to the Licensing Handbook). The Question prescribes that a registered person dealing in unit trust and attached to a UTMC cannot be attached to another principal.
Following the FAQ with regard to the position of unit trust consultants, the SC has received several enquiries requesting for further clarification on the implementation of Question 8 and other issues with regard to individuals licensed for financial planning and interns attached to licensed financial planning firms.
1. Can a Unit Trust Consultant who is attached to a UTMC, CUTA or IUTA, be allowed to distribute unit trust products of other UTMCs, CUTAs or IUTAs?
No. A Unit Trust Consultant (UTC) is not permitted to market and distribute unit trust products other than the products of his principal, to which he is attached to.
A UTC is only allowed to market and distribute the products of its Principal, which may be a UTMC, CUTA or a IUTA. He cannot distribute products of another UTMC at the same time.
This is to ensure that the UTC provides dedicated advice to the investor with respect to his principal's products.
2. Can a Unit Trust Consultant be attached to more than one UTMC?
No. As mentioned above, a UTC can only be attached to one UTMC and cannot distribute unit trust products directly or indirectly of other UTMCs. He should also not have other arrangements to distribute products of other UTMCs.
3. Are employees of the IUTA, who are registered as UTCs with FIMM allowed to distribute unit trust funds independent of their employers?
No. The employees of a IUTA who are UTCs by virtue of their responsibilities in the IUTA, cannot become a UTC and attach themselves independently with any UTMC, CUTA or IUTA.
4. Can an individual who holds a financial planning license and is a unit trust consultant, attach himself to more than one UTMC?
No. A UTC can only be attached to one UTMC, as its Principal. The individual, who holds a financial planning license, should distribute the unit trust products of his Principal and pursuant to a financial plan. This is consistent with the approach as described in Question 1 and 2 above.
5. Can an individual who holds a financial planning license, who intends to become a CUTA continue to be attached to a UTMC?
No. The Financial Planning license holder must detach himself or herself from the UTMC prior to the CUTA seeking registration with FIMM. The CUTA can be attached to several UTMCs. As mentioned in Question 1 above, the CUTA and its representatives can only distribute unit trust products pursuant to a financial plan and with respect to the products of the UTMCs that the CUTA has arrangements with.
6. Are interns of a CUTA allowed to be registered as UTCs with FIMM either to distribute unit trust products on behalf of the CUTA or to distribute unit trust products independent of the CUTA?
No. An intern is not allowed to become a UTC, regardless of whether it is in his or her capacity as an intern of the CUTA or independent of the CUTA. This requirement is consistent with the framework for CUTAs, which does not allow the individual licensed financial planning representative to have an arrangement with UTMCs. This also follows the principle of interns assisting the financial planners of a CUTA and must not operate to avoid the requirement for FPs of CUTAs to be detached from UTMCs.

:: History Of Unit Trusts ::
Malaysia introduced the unit trust concept relatively early compared to its Asian neighbours, when, in 1959, a unit trust was first established by a company called Malayan Unit Trust Ltd.
The unit trust industry in Malaysia has therefore a history of more than four (4) decades. The development of this industry can be presented in chronological order as follows
The Development of Unit Trusts
The Formative Years: 1959 -1979
The first two decades in the history of the unit trust industry were characterised by slow growth in the sales of units and a lack of public interest in the new investment product.
Only five unit trust management companies were established, with a total of 18 funds introduced over that period. The industry was regulated by several parties including the Registrar of Companies, The Public Trustee of Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
The 1970s also witnessed the emergence of state government sponsored unit trusts, in response to the Federal Government's call to mobilise domestic household savings.
The Period from 1980 to 1990
This period marks the entry of government participation in the Unit Trust Industry and the formation of a Committee to regulate the unit trust industry, called the Informal Committee for Unit Trust Funds, comprising representatives from the Registrar of Companies (ROC), the Public Trustee of Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Capital Issues Committee (CIC).
The 1980s marked a significant development in the history of the industry when the Skim Amanah Saham Nasional (ASN) was launched by Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) in 1981. Despite only 11 funds being launched during this period, the total units subscribed by the public swelled to an unprecedented level because of the overwhelming response to ASN.
The 1980s also witnessed the emergence of more unit trust management companies, which were subsidiaries of financial institutions. Their participation facilitated the marketing and distribution of unit trusts through bank's branch network which widened investor reach.
The Period from 1991 to 1999
This period witnessed the fastest growth of the unit trust industry in terms of the number of new management companies established, and funds under management. The centralisation of industry regulation, with the establishment of the Securities Commission on 1 March 1993, coupled with the implementation of the Securities Commission (Unit Trust Scheme) Regulations in 1996 and extensive marketing strategies adopted by the ASN and ASB (Amanah Saham Bumiputera), played key roles in making unit trusts household products in Malaysia. Consequently, the total asset value of funds under management grew more than threefold from RM15.72 billion at the end of 1992 to RM59.95 billion at the end of 1996. The period also saw greater product innovation and deregulation of the industry.
Although the pace of growth of local unit trust funds has moderated since the financial crisis of 1997-1998, it has nevertheless maintained its upward trend.
The Period from 2000 to current
The unit trust industry has a very promising start to the 21st century. The industry recorded double digit growth for first 7 years, growing from RM43 billion in Net Asset Value(NAV) in Year 2000 to RM169 billion as at 31 December 2007. However, this strong growth has been punctuated by some extraordinary financial crisis in 2008, starting from the fallout of the subprime loans in the USA, bursting of the property bubble, the global credit crunch, the banking crisis and the rapidly falling share prices worldwide. As at 31 December 2008, the unit trust industry saw its NAV dropping to RM134 billion. While the industry NAV has dropped by 20% over the last 10 months, the industry Net Asset Value to Bursa Malaysia Market Capitalization has increased from 15% to more than 20%. In relative terms, the unit trust industry drop is less severe than the fall in share prices in Bursa Malaysia due to the diverse nature of its assests.

A professional fund manager then invests the pooled funds in a portfolio which may include the asset classes listed below:
• Cash
• Bonds & Deposits
• Shares
• Properties
• Commodities
Unit holders do not own the securities in the portfolio directly. Ownership of the fund is divided into units of entitlement. As the fund increases or decreases in value, the value of each unit increases or decreases accordingly.The number of units held depends on the unit purchase price at the time of investment and the amount of money invested.
The return on investment of unit holders is usually in the form of income distribution and capital appreciation, derived from the pool of assets supporting the unit trust fund. Each unit earns an equal return, determined by the level of distribution and/or capital appreciation in any one period.
Unit trust investors are typically those with savings to invest, who neither have the time nor the inclination to hold portfolios of direct investments or shares. Rather, they prefer to invest in a secure, reputable investment vehicle which suits their purposes. Unit trusts allow investors to have easy access to a wide range of investments not normally available to them.
As investors seek to maximise returns on their financial resources, unit trusts provide an ideal way for them to gain exposure to investments that, in the long run, should produce returns superior to cash savings and fixed deposit investments.
The cost of these potentially higher returns is of course the risk that accompanies the investment. In the short term, the certainty of investment returns of most unit trust products is less than those offered by fixed deposits. However, in the medium to long term (i.e. 3-20 years), unit trust investments generally provide better returns at acceptable levels of risk.
