It is time to modernise the Unit Trust Act, chairman of the Unit Trust Corporation Prof Gerry Brooks has said.
Brooks made the statement as the UTC held its virtual Annual General Meeting yesterday.
“Four decades have elapsed since the original Unit Corporation Act (UTC) was enacted in 1982, when the mutual fund industry was in its nascent stages and the UTC was the only player. Since then, financial markets have undergone profound transformation. Y2K and the technology revolution have facilitated a total shift in customer and market expectations. The pandemic has reshaped the world, resetting priorities, creating seismic shifts in economic policy, investment, and market architecture,” Brooks said.
