When the government borrows to cover its shortfalls, your money—via pensions, insurance, or unit trusts—might be helping foot the bill. In return, you earn interest. Unit trusts pool everyday investors’ funds into low-risk options like Treasury Bills or bank deposits. And when the state pays more to borrow, your returns can go up. Even in tough times, your money can grow smartly.

While traditional retirement schemes are crucial components of retirement planning, they may not always provide sufficient security and growth potential on their own. Unit trusts offer a complementary solution that can help you achieve your retirement goals more effectively. They have the hidden potential to enhance your financial security during your golden years.
