How to read these yields
Fund managers quote a yearly rate after their management fee but before the 15% withholding tax. Yields change daily, so a fund at the top this week may not be next week. For a long-term choice, size and track record matter as much as this week's rank.
What fund size tells you
Fund size is the total money a fund manages. Many of this week's highest yields come from smaller funds, while the biggest funds pay a little less. A bigger fund isn't automatically safer and a smaller one isn't automatically riskier: size tells you how many people trust a fund and how easily it can handle withdrawals. Check that any fund is CMA-licensed and read its fact sheet. Fund sizes are from the CMA Collective Investment Schemes Report, Q2 2026, updated every quarter.
