What are Unit Investment Trust Funds
Investors of any level of expertise and investment capacity can put their money in a basket of different kinds of investments through UITFs. There are several UITFs to choose from, each catering to a particular investment goal. They’re open-ended investments, meaning you get to choose when you put your money in and when you withdraw.

Understanding the Net Asset Value per Unit
Net Asset Value per Unit, or NAVPU, on the other hand, is the underlying value of each unit. NAVPU is important because it allows you to compare how different schemes are trading, even though they may have very different prices. A large difference between price and NAVPU suggests that the market believes that either some better pricing is available, or that the NAV is overstated.
Investing in a Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF) means you are buying units of participation. The amount of units you get depends on how much money you invest. How much each unit is worth will depend on the Net Asset Value Per Unit (NAVPU) which is the current market value of each unit of participation in the fund.
NAVPU Computation Method
NAVPU (net asset value per unit) is the total market value of the investment fund minus expenses and liabilities, divided by total number of units of participation.
How to understand and interpret NAVPU
To determine the value of your UITF investment, simply multiply the net asset value per unit (NAVPU) by the number of units of participation acquired. The value of the NAVPU changes daily depending on current market conditions
NAVPU will be different for various funds because the value of their investments will be different.
