Unit Trusts offer stability amid global market uncertainty
Amid ongoing global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, and resulting market volatility, including recent spillovers into regional equity markets, Sri Lanka’s Unit Trust industry continues to underscore the importance of disciplined investing.
