Start with the right fund category, not the highest number.
The latest UTASL report covers 88 funds across 10 categories. Money-market, income, balanced, and equity funds solve different jobs, so their returns should not be treated as one league table. The cards below keep each reported YTD comparison inside a like-for-like lane.

Frequently asked questions about Sri Lankan unit trusts
What is a unit trust in Sri Lanka?
A unit trust is a pooled investment vehicle licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka. A professional asset manager invests the pool across money market, fixed income, equity, or balanced portfolios, and each investor owns units that represent a share of the fund's net assets.
How are unit trusts taxed in Sri Lanka?
Tax treatment depends on the fund category, your investor type, and the prevailing rules. Always check the latest tax position with the fund manager or your tax adviser before relying on a net-return estimate.
Where does this performance data come from?
The page parses the Unit Trust Association of Sri Lanka (UTASL) monthly performance reports. The figures are indicative — minor extraction errors can occur, and live fund prices on the manager's site take precedence.
Can I lose money in a Sri Lankan unit trust?
Yes. Unit trusts are not guaranteed deposits. NAV per unit can fall, especially in equity, balanced, and longer-duration income funds. Read the fund offering document and risk disclosures before subscribing.
How do I compare unit trusts properly?
Match the fund category to your goal and horizon, compare the reported YTD return with 5-year CAGR, and check fund size, manager track record, and fees. Treat annualized YTD only as calculated context, then verify the latest fact sheet on the manager's official website.
