Unit Trusts
Unit trusts are portfolios of assets such as equities, bonds, cash and listed property, in which investors can buy units. This allows investors to spread their risk, whilst getting the benefits of professional fund management.
Other benefits include:
- Easy and cost effective access to the equity, money, bond and listed property markets
- Transparent pricing and performance: unit trust prices are published in the newspapers, reflecting the previous day’s closing price. This allows you to determine the value of your investments on a daily basis.
- Easy access to funds within 24 hours
- Protection for investors via a strictly regulated industry
- Opportunity to invest in foreign currency denominated fund e.g. dollar, GBP, euro

Endowment
An endowment is a type of savings plan. It provides investors with full access to their money after a specific period (in this case five years) or when the policyholder dies.
In South Africa, endowment plans are taxed at reduced rates (compared to the typical tax rate of an individual in the highest income tax bracket).
It is important to remember that an endowment is a long-term commitment. To get the full benefit of this type of investment, you must remain invested for at least five years. After five years, you will be able to withdraw your money whenever you need to. When you do decide to withdraw your money, you won’t have to pay any further tax on your investment.
