🧠 What Is a Unit Trust?

A Unit Trust is a pooled investment fund where your money is combined with other investors’ and professionally managed in a diversified portfolio—including Treasury Bills, Bonds, Bank Deposits, and sometimes shares.

Think of it like joining a savings group—except your savings are invested by experts to generate returns daily or monthly.

👥 Who Manages Your Money?

Licensed fund managers (supervised by the Capital Markets Authority – CMA Uganda) do the hard work for you.

Featured Institutions in Uganda:

Banks

  • Stanbic Bank
  • Standard Chartered

Insurance Companies

  • Britam
  • Sunlam
  • UAP
  • ICA

Investment Firms

  • Zeno Uganda

These firms provide easy onboarding, and some even allow mobile or online deposits.

💸 How Much Do You Need to Start?
