Profile Media announced today that the latest issue of the popular Unit Trust & Collective Investments Handbook – March 2020 is now also available as an electronic book (ebook), see www.profile.co.za/uthb/.

Profile Media is a subsidiary of information publisher Profile Group, a leading South African supplier of data feeds and customised data solutions for financial markets participants.

Ernie Alexander, Profile Group Chairman, says "Following on from the recent publication of our Stock Exchange Handbook in an electronic format, we have made the decision to also publish the popular Unit Trusts & Collective Investments Handbook in an ebook. While there is still a need for the printed copy, releasing the ebook earlier gives the investor more up-to-date information”.

The release of the new ebook of the Unit Trusts & Collective Investments Handbook also comes at a time when the printed copy is delayed by the COVID-19 lockdown. Astute investors will still be able to access the investment information in much the same way as they did before, just sooner. The ebook is positioned between Profile’s interactive digital products and its traditional print media and will add a value proposition to its customers without extra costs.

“As Profile’s Unit Trusts & Collective Investments ebook is digitally interactive, readers will also be a click away from the adverts placed in the handbook”, says Chairman Ernie Alexander. Fund managers and participant intermediaries will also be offered the added benefit of giving the readers instant access to their websites enhancing the broad experience and hopefully enticing unit trusts investment and sales.
