Posted by Irwan in Anatomy of Investment on August 19, 2006
We have reach the 3rd series of Anatomy of Investment. Click here for the index page of Anatomy of Invesment. Today we will talk about the path less traveled by fellow investors.

Posted by Irwan in Anatomy of Investment on August 16, 2006
This is the 2nd installment of Anatomy of Investment. You can read about Equities in the first part here. Today we are going to talk about Unit Trust or Mutual Fund or Amanah Saham in Bahasa.
What is it?
A unit trust fund is an investment scheme that pools money from many investors who share the same financial objectives. In exchange for the money, the fund issues units to the investors who are known as unit holders.
