As only you yourself know what you really want and do not expect other people fully understand what you are thinking about. As unit trust investment is an operation on delegating your investment right to third party, namely fund manager, under trust, do not expect fund manager will act according what you intend to act. It is because they have deed of trust to follow.
For example, in the prospectus, it highlights the minimum exposure of the fund is 50% in equity. In case of equity market downturn, the manager can only reduce its equity exposure to the minimum 50% but not less than that. You therefore must seek for alternative way like sell your units or switch to conservative fund like bond fund.
Also, from the periodical investment performance report, you may realize that some of the counters hold by the fund manager may not be the counters you favor to but you just can’t control it.
Therefore, I strongly suggest you to carry out share investment by yourself as you will be in total control. Unit trust investment can be considered as a learning process in share investment or when you have limited capital. Once you gain enough experience on share investment or have enough money, by all mean, change your path to direct share investment.
Happy investing.
