Zakaat on unit trust investments

Q: When paying zakaat on unit trusts investments, does one pay on the original amount invested or the current value?

A: After studying the current balance sheet, one will pay on his proportionate amount of the current zakaatable assets in the company.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
