Unit Trust Association of Sri Lanka launches “Investor Awareness Initiative” to empower public to build wealth through Unit Trusts

October 28, 2025

The Unit Trust Association of Sri Lanka (UTASL) has launched an Investor Awareness Initiative aimed at helping Sri Lankans understand how Unit Trusts (UTs) can play a vital role in planning and growing their wealth.

Unit Trust Association of Sri Lanka launches “Investor Awareness Initiative” to empower public to build wealth through Unit Trusts

The initiative will take place at the World Trade Centre, Colombo, from 27th to 31st October 2025, where there will be 16 member companies participating in the awareness programme.

While Unit Trusts are one of the most widely used and trusted investment tools globally, awareness and participation among Sri Lankan investors remain relatively low. UTASL's latest initiative seeks to change that by making the concept of Unit Trusts simple, relatable, and accessible to everyone, from first-time investors to those seeking to diversify their savings. This public education drive supports the ongoing efforts of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) and the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) to strengthen financial literacy and investor participation across the country.
