Frequently asked questions

What does "gilt-edged" mean for a Sri Lankan unit trust?

It means the fund is primarily invested in Sri Lankan government securities — treasury bills and treasury bonds. The portfolio is sovereign-rated, but unit NAVs still rise and fall with market yield changes.

Do gilt-edged unit trusts guarantee returns?

No. The underlying instruments are sovereign-backed, but the fund's NAV per unit moves with interest rates. A rising rate environment can pull capital values lower in the short run.

Who typically uses gilt-edged funds?

Investors who want sovereign credit exposure with daily liquidity, plus institutions parking near-cash for 6-18 months. Treat them as a middle ground between money market and longer income funds.
