Unit trusts (or mutual funds) are an attractive medium- to long-term investment tool. They give investors the opportunity to diversify even a small investment in securities, bonds, currencies and commodities in markets around the world.
TrustNet offer their customers many different services. Some services that are offered are: investment trusts, pension fund, fund prices and performance and unit trusts.
Unit investment trusts, face-amount certificates, and closed-end mutual funds are excluded from this classification
The major difference between a Unit Trust and a mutual fund is that a mutual fund is actively managed, while a unit investment trust is not managed at all. Capital gains, interest and dividend payments from the trust are passed on to shareholders at regular periods. If the trust is one that invests only in tax-free securities, then the income from the trust is also tax-free. A unit investment trust is generally considered a low-risk, low-return investment. Some investors prefer Unit Trusts to mutual funds because Unit Trusts typically incur lower annual operating expenses (since they are not buying and selling shares); however, Unit Trusts often have sales charges and entrance/exit fees. Mutual funds can be open ended or close ended. But unit trusts are open ended instruments.

Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / number of units of products Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Net sales The formula is different for both situations because contribution margin per unit calculates the contribution margin for one unit of product while contribution margin ratio calculates the contribution margin for total overall sales as overall sales may be included different mix of products with diff rent fixed and variable costs that's why both of these are calculated separately
sales-variable coste= contribution margin
Unit contribution margin is the per unit contribution by any unit sold towards recovering fixed cost and then achieving target profit.
Contribution margin ratio determines the percentage of variable cost in over all sales while contribution margin per unit tells the variable cost portion in per unit total cost or sales price.
The contribution margin is the difference between the per-unit variable cost and the selling price per unit.
Contribution margin per unit is the contribution which contribute by sales of one unit for the recovery of fixed cost after fulfiling the variable cost of product.
