Unit Trust
What is a Unit Trust Regular Savings Plan (RSP)?
Unit Trust RSP is an investment plan that offers a consistent and disciplined means of investing into a particular fund.
It adopts the concept of dollar cost averaging whereby more units are bought when prices are low and lesser units when prices are high. As a result, in times of fluctuating markets, the average cost for all the units can be lower than the average price during the same period.
