Potential Investment Return
The URF has the potential to offer capital appreciation and seeks to meet its objective by investing the Fund's assets in investment grade equities of both local and international companies and bonds and other high income securities with significant income potential.
The returns on the URF are directly linked to the returns of investments in the URF. These investments will consist primarily of equity securities (instruments that undergo value fluctuations over time). The nature of these investments is such that future returns are related to several variables that ultimately determine average returns for the period.
Net Asset Value
The URF is both value based and investment linked, allowing investors the potential to benefit from the maximum value of their investment in the fund rather than some predetermined amount using such methods as, the final pay, flat benefit or career average formulae.
The value of your investment is your unit balance multiplied by the NAV (Net Asset Value) or unit price. This price is related to the market value of the investments made by the fund.
Withdrawals from the URF
Withdrawals can be made provided that any one of the following conditions are satisfied
All withdrawals other than the above, will be limited to the individuals' capital contributions or net asset value whichever is lower with earnings deferred to retirement age.
