Albaraka Bank Unit Trust

Unit trusts offer an easy and a convenient way to invest. Simply put, a pool of investors’ money is used to invest in financial instruments such as equities (shares).

This pool is then divided into equal units where each unit contains the same proportion of assets in the fund. Investors then share in the fund’s gains, losses, income and expenses.

The wide variety of unit trusts means that they are an ideal way to build up a well-diversified investment portfolio tailored to meet your specific needs, risk profile and investment requirements.
