So, other than your usual source of income, where else you can park your money and get a higher return? Unit trust fund lah! 

If you don’t know what it is, a unit trust fund is simply a collection of company stocks or bonds that is managed by a professional fund manager. Here, read this unit trust article to understand it better. 

But as history has taught us, not all funds perform well. According to Investopedia, even the funds that were performing well in the short term, say 3 months to 5 years may underperform other funds over the long term (10 years or more).

Therefore, it’s important to set a clear objective as to whether you want to make money in the short term or long term. Below, depending on your objective, you will find the best performing unit trust funds to invest and grow your money. 

What's covered in this article?


 

Top 5 Performing Funds For Short Term Investment (1 month - 5 Years)


If you’re investing for short term gain, typically within 1 month to 5 years, you must make sure that the fund you’re investing can give a higher return than fixed deposit rate, which averages around 3%.

You also have to understand also that the fund is very volatile, meaning it can go up and down easily, just like your heartbeat while running. This situation will put you at a higher risk of losing your money. If you’re caught in a bad situation, then better discuss with your financial advisor as to whether to continue investing or shift your money towards other funds. 

Once you understand the risks involved, then go ahead and invest in these funds, which gives a very good return over a short term period.

Just see his net worth over time from when he started early and as he keeps reinvesting in company stocks and shares. Lesson? It pays to invest long term!
