What's the minimum amount I can invest on EZInvest? Are there any maximum and minimum limits on buying and selling units?
Different funds have different minimum investment amounts, depending on the minimum amount stipulated within the fund’s prospectus.
For redemption orders, the maximum unit selling limit is the number of tradable units hold by the customer.
For partial redemption orders, each fund has a minimum number of units needed to be maintained in customer’s holdings, which is stipulated in the fund’s prospectus. We can't proceed with any sell order that results in the total units of the customer’s holdings in that fund to fall below the minimum remaining units.

Each Unit Trust subscription will be charged at a flat 1% - 1.5% of the investment amount, depending on the fund type.
