The upfront charge (or spread) for investing in our funds (ie managed by NTUC Income) is 3.5%. The investor buy at a price that is loaded by 3.5% over the net asset value.
This is lower than the spread of 5% charged by most other unit trusts and insurance funds. They charge at additional 1% or 2% for the insurance cover. So their total charge is 6% or 7%.
Some unit trust have a lower charge of 2.5%. Some investors asked NTUC Income to reduce our spread to match these unit trusts.
During our promotion (which is on-going now), we offer bonus units of 1% or 2%, depending on the amount of investment. This effectively reduces our spread to 2.5% or even as low as 1.5%.
Our annual charge is now less than 1% for most funds. Other unit trusts or insurance funds charge 1.5% to 2%. They may have other hidden costs that is deducted from their yield. Over 10 to 20 years, the difference in the annual charge can be STAGGERING.
