Ejen enggan jual AS1M?

KONFLIK kepentingan yang timbul akibat penjualan dana Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS1M), dana amanah terbaru Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), kini dipercayai menyebabkan sesetengah ejen jualan yang merupakan bank-bank tempatan, agak 'keberatan' untuk menjualnya secara agresif. Penjualan produk dana amanah yang berharga tetap itu dilihat menjadi pesaing utama kepada produk-produk dana amanah yang kebanyakan harganya mengikut pasaran yang turut dijual oleh ejen-ejen jualan berkenaan.

Keadaan ini, dikatakan merupakan antara punca utama jualan AS1M agak perlahan. Utusan Malaysia difahamkan jumlah saiz tawaran dana amanah yang terbesar seumpamanya dan unjuran kemampuan pulangan yang mampu ditawarkan sedikit sebanyak menjejaskan permintaan terhadap produk yang ditawarkan mereka.

Pada 31 Julai lalu, AS1M menawarkan saiz dana sebanyak RM10 bilion dengan 50 peratus disediakan kepada pelabur Bumiputera, 30 peratus Cina, 15 peratus India dan bakinya untuk kaum lain. Sehingga 25 Ogos lalu, jumlah dana AS1M yang dilanggan berjumlah kira-kira dua bilion unit. Ini berbeza dengan sambutan hangat ibarat pisang goreng panas yang diterima oleh Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) dan Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 (ASW2020) setiap kali dilakukan penambahan saiz dana.

you need to place the weblink on the website, usually the newspaper have the weblink. So that we would know the details b4 giving any comments.
Many banks are loosing tonnes of deposits/fixed deposits due to the recently launched As1M, especially the older ppl withdraw from the FD and deposit into AS1M, so some bankers are spreading the rumous......

Care to explain Why a DIVIDENT payout should be prorated for 6 months ??? 

So anyone still buying AS1M...........? wonder ppl still skeptical about return rate for it.....

No need a few hundred lah. If your parents' property/ies are not so complex/complicate, just draw up one simple will, get two witness, get an administrator or two and you can even draft one out yourself. But if they have lots of properties/ more complicated than you think you can handle, then get a goot lawyer or will writer professionals to come up with one good solid will so as to save lots of pain in future. They can always change their will if they want to change their plan in the near furure.

not really, for non bumi, u can only registered for AS1M, as ASM/ASW already fully sold out for non bumi quota. if u registre ASM/ASW, it will show "application rejected" status.

for bumi, u can register all the fixed price fund including ASB/ASW/ASD/AS1M. you will only know the "status" on the following day. So u cannot see the available unit "live" online.

In your personal opinion, would it open the AS1M quota before the dividend paypout in 30 Sep 2010 ?

IMO, since Sukuk 1M don't have any charges when selling, maybe can put existing FD to it. Then if ASW/M issued, withdraw some Sukuk over to ASW/M. Thing is, will sell sukuk be a hassle on that day if were to sell it off in order to purchase ASW/M. 

Agree... Never mislead without doing research..

I expect the dividend to be declared by the mid of September 2010.. Based on the record of the declaration of dividend by their side.. ^^

Added on August 23, 2010, 12:19 pmSeems like some of the people of the public were confused about AS1M; but i am acting as an neutral, but to show what i found:-

1) AS1M objective launched by the Prime Minister was to encourage the citizens to invest their money to increase their asset value..

2) AS1M was also intended to increase the income of the citizens, though not much, but it helps..

3) AS1M is investing in equities, and trust me, even for them to declare dividend of minimum of 6% is not difficult despite their consistent performance..

4) Some of the people think that the Government will use the money for their political policy, but from what i see, it was the intention of PM to increase the income.. Whilst, investment in equity funds by those expert fund managers might contribute more than 15% (conservative projection) returns, so nothing is impossible..

5) Their benchmark of 3.7% to 4% were actually as a conservative target for them to perform better than the benchmark, but many thought the return is low, hm.. next month will prove whether this statement is right or wrong..

6) Capital protection is true.. See PNB is listed in the Bank Negara Malaysia..

For your info, i have been trying to invest in since the ending of the World Cup campaign, and it seems available until today. 

But if you are opening new account, i dont think so, but the available is only for additional investments..
