The 2023 payout has increased the total returns to unitholders for this financial year to 10.95%, a 1.7% increase if compared to the previous financial year.

Even through the pandemic and the global impact of Covid-19 remains on the financial markets, the Trust exceeded expectations by recording profitable returns for its investors for the last three years.
Tevaga Viane Tagiilima the CEO of the Unit Trust of Samoa conveyed on behalf of the Board and Trustees, his gratitude and appreciation to all its unitholders and stakeholders, for trusting UTOS as their investment vehicle. For the last three years we faced trialing times, however our commitment to serve our unitholders backed by a competent team led us to achieve satisfactory results adapting to the ever-changing financial market. Tevaga also acknowledged the
contribution from the previous board of directors, with former chairman Afioga Asiata Afoa Kolone Vaai who led UTOS for the first three quarters of the financial year for their inputs and expertise which guided the Trust Fund to another successful performance.
