Q : When is the appropriate time to sell my unit trust funds? What are the indicators to consider when deciding to sell my unit trust funds?

A : In ideal situations…

Realistically, there is no way for even the best and most experianced fund manager to buy at the absolute bottom and sell at the highest point of the market. As with all investments, the best decesions are made when there are clear objectives, target and time frame in mind. A disciplined and realistic approach will also ensure investors will not always expect to gain maximum returns over a short period. being overly ambitious may have its upsides but more often than not, can be the downfall for most.

When to draw the line and call it quits?

The general principles of investing will always apply, set clear objectives, indentify your risk appetite and investment horizon(s). Additionallay, do not get carried away and hold on for ‘just another week, month or two’.

Target work both ways….

Decide on how much you aim to achive and how much losses you can stomach. Walk away once you have hit them. Market sentiments and street talk may seem bullish but stick to you gunns. Succumbing to speculation and greed may cause you losses instead. Be confortable with walking away when you have met with your investment objectives and targets.
