Effective Rate of Return
With the formula FV
: RM100,000
: 6.5%

= RM100,000/(1+6.5%)
= RM100,000/(1.065)
= RM93,896.71
= 11% - 1.4%
= 9.6%
= PV (1 + i)
= RM93,896.71 (1+9.6%)
= RM93,896.71 (1.096)
= RM234,831.27

sent a copy of each report within 2 months after the end of the financial period.

Opportunity cost is a disadvantage for UTS. As with any decision, an investor
who invests in UTS may have produced better returns by investing in other
investment. This represents the "opportunity cost" of investing in UTS.

41.
Answer A
It is the trustee's responsibility to safeguard the UTS assets and ensure that they
are invested in accordance with the terms of the deed. (Chapter 2, page 2-2)

Answer C
Switch is a repurchase of units in a UTS (e.g. aggressive UTS) by a UTMC at the
request of a unit holder and the immediate reinvestment of the repurchase
proceeds as application money into a different UTS (e.g. medium to low risk UTS)
managed by the same UTMC. (Chapter 3, page 3-8)
43.
Answer D
"Buying" a distribution entitlement for the full period means acquiring units just
before the ex Distribution date. However, the decision to buy immediately prior
to the ex Distribution date has reduced the investor's capital, since the UTS prices
will fall on the following day by the amount of the distribution. The investor has,
in effect, turned his capital into income and is no better off.
(Chapter 3, page 3-12)
44.
Answer C
By using DCA concept, investor can turn fluctuating prices to their advantage;
especially if prices are moving down, they can purchase more units and reduce the
average cost of their investment portfolio. (Chapter 3, page 3-30 to 3-32)

Answer B
Initial service charge is the cost to an investor of investing in, or entering, UTS
and it is levied primarily to cover the UTMC costs of marketing and distributing
units, and the cost of opening an account in the unit register for a unitholder.
(Chapter 1, page 1-29)
52.
Answer D
Number of units after unit split issue

it effect the value of a unit holder's investment. (Chapter 1, page 1-44)
