Just found out my father put down 100k on a maybank unit trust for this allianz income and groth cl am dis h2-sgd. There is an initial 4% commission so he is left with 92k which the banker says that he will be able to receive around 500+ monthly. Was wondering if there is anything out there that can beat this unit trust. Preferably something that is hassle free

Actually u can buy UT with poems/fsmone no sale charge, no transaction fee, but since you already bought just leave it there, else the bank will charge u transaction fee again. I also own this UT. 7%+p.a dividend. Not many good option if you want monthly cashflow, with high payout. The fund will fluctuate between $9 to $10 per unit, so dont need to be too concern if your fund unrealised profit/loss is negative. Fixed income are like that, no growth, stagnent.

Ouch! 4% commission is very costly in this age of zero-fees platforms for unit trusts, POEMS and dollarDEX (FSMOne not exactly zero-fees as they charge platform fees for cash/SRS). 4% of $100k investment means an upfront loss of $4k to pay for sales charge, and would take 8 months of $500 payouts just to recover the capital.

You can use FSM Fund Selector tool to research for alternative funds:

Notice that Allianz fund is characterized as "Alternative Investments - Asset Allocation" by FSM:

So, the fund selector selection criteria can be:
Specialist Sector - Alternative Investments - Asset Allocation
Currency - SGD
Payment Method - Included under Cash
β
Strictly based on dividend yield for funds with monthly payout frequency, there is only one other fund (DWS Invest Multi Opportunities LDMH SGD) with higher dividend yield.
