Frequently asked questions
How risky are equity unit trusts in Sri Lanka?
They carry equity-market risk: the NAV per unit can move sharply with the Colombo Stock Exchange. They are more suited to long-horizon investors who can ride out drawdowns.
Should I pick the equity fund with the highest YTD return?
A high YTD number can come from a single sector rally or a small fund. Compare 5-year CAGR, drawdowns, and the manager's investment style before deciding.
Equity unit trust vs buying stocks directly?
A unit trust provides instant diversification and professional management for a fee. Direct stocks give you control and lower running cost but require time, research, and discipline.
