Unit trust/Mutual Funds are just a scam especially their equity fund products...
Let's assume one had bought the Old Mutual Equity fund or the Britak Equity Fund on 1/1/2011. NSE to date is 20%+ down, but I can bet the funds of Old Mutual and Britak et al must be around 30%+ down or worse! And to boot you pay some performance fees, annual fees and other funny fees all of which eat up your gains or worsen your losses!
Ever since I noticed some years back that the mutual funds perform worse than the market whether in a bull or bear, I trashed them.
$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
