Fund Managers Unit Trust Assessment Toolkit (Excel) – 2026

This Fund Managers Unit Trust Assessment Toolkit (Excel) helps you evaluate and compare unit trust fund managers using a structured, investor-friendly approach.

Instead of choosing a fund based on rumours or a single return figure, this toolkit guides you to compare key decision factors drawn from fund factsheets and prospectuses, including:

• Fund objective and strategy

• Fund type (Money Market, Balanced, Equity, etc.)

• Net Asset Value (NAV) / unit price

• Entry, annual management, and exit fees

• Lock-in periods and withdrawal rules

• Historical performance inputs and practical comparisons

What’s inside the Excel toolkit

This file includes 3 tabs:

1. Instructions – how to use the toolkit step-by-step

2. Fund Comparison Scorecard – a structured scorecard to compare fund managers

How to use it

1. Choose one fund type (e.g., Money Market or Balanced).

2. Collect the latest factsheets/prospectuses for at least 3 fund managers.

3. Populate the scorecard with the required inputs.
