⚠️ About Sales Charges

Many unit trust platforms now offer 0% sales charge online. If your UT provider charges 0%, adjust the UT sales charge above. The annual fee difference still applies regardless.

💡 What Should I Do With This?

If you currently hold unit trusts: check if they have a 0% sales charge online platform, and compare the annual management fee against a similar ETF. The gap shown here is the maximum cost of staying in unit trusts vs switching to ETFs. For many investors, especially those with 10+ year horizons, the fee difference compounds into a significant sum.
