OverviewDetailsRates & FeesApply
The Thoroughbred Education Fund is designed to help you provide for the
costs of the future education of your child. It is a unit trust that helps
you to build a lump sum over a period of time by pooling your money with a
number of investors.
The recommended investment timeframe is five years or
more, as over time, the Fund aims to achieve a return on investment that is
higher than the return usually received from a savings account or term
deposit.
