Selling Funds
Selling is a simple process at FSM Global. You may sell your Unit Trusts by going to: Transact > Funds (Unit Trusts) > Sell/Switch.
You can sell your Unit Trusts anytime once the holdings are reflected in your “Investment Holdings” page.
You do not need to wait for a willing buyer. The fund manager is obligated to buy back (redeem) your units, subject to the terms and conditions stated in the fund’s prospectus.
