hi guys,For investors who prefer investing in Unit Trusts,the old mutual equity fund has been shooting up,from a low of ksh.217 in November 2011 to a high of ksh.266 today and this is just the begining,for you smart guys who know when to get in,this is it. If any of you guys are interested drop ua mail here,i send you perfomance and projection from 2002 to now...or drop me a mail at nicholas.mwangi@oldmutualkenya.com

what are these . hebu look at the stock market . we are in a bull market and you are telling folks to buy unit trusts ..lol
Do yourself a favour buy stocks . Do your colleges a favour and tell them to buy stocks NOW . then sell those unit trusts to all the suckers you are targeting

If old mutual is scouting for clients at wazua I give up...! Btw isn't this advertising?

@nikimani - why is this the best time to buy into the equity fund?

@hisah, over time there is a pattern of the fund being low before any major political event in the country,i.e 2004/5 constitution referendum price ksh.157 and shooting up when things return to "normal" i.e 2006 price Ksh.284, basicaly its just taking advantage of macroeconomic factors.

Kimani this is the wrong place to advertise unit trusts. We all know that the devil is in the details. We know that those rosy charts are not exactly what investors get from the unit trusts.

Any Wazuans who may be misled into this, make sure;

(1) You get to understand who the investment managers in the unit trust you are investing in are
(2) Their track records
(3) Whether the investment objective of the sponsor i.e Old Mutual as the same as yours- Remember the investment managers will take decisions on the portfolio based on the sponsors strategic objectives. They make money when you are losing (most of the time) and when you are winning (rarely).

I have heard of people who made money investing directly in the markets, but I am yet to meet an investor in a unit trust with a success story!
