what the heck ? , then when i ask my agent to generate statement will it contain all my funds from agent 1 & 2 or

agent 1 generate only agent 1 and agent 2 generate only agent 2.. ??

HJebat, heheh - unsure whether most of PM's funds consist of those counters or not.

Sorry ar, my bad - when i mentioned "Fund's portfolio", i meant how the fund is going to be invested, eg. dividend stocks, index stocks, sector rotation, far east or China only, big / small caps, etc.

Yr idea sounds like "follow the leader" 'ala see how Buffet invest and just shadow the fellow right? That's an option heheh - i'd rather go with my own reasoning & logic though, for direct investments. At least i've my own "entry/exit plans", what i term as my biz plan, for each transaction or program, no one else to blame except myself (plus can learn)

FYI - i mostly use EPF a/c1 to do mutual funds (PAGF & PSSF).
For cash (only a small % of my total assets), i specifically go for PFES, PRSEC & PFEPRF - foreign and not country specific. Chicken lar

The rest of my cash is directly in stocks, REITs, bonds & properties ( like as if i have many properties pulak).

Added on June 11, 2011, 4:50 pmEach Agent can "see" only your accounts serviced / leeched (depending on whether theyve yr best interest or moo moo) by them only, thus can print their own views only This is, i think, a matter of privacy for the customer where agent MYOB.

yeah been saying that to myself for the pass 1/2 year.. damn lazy wan go pbank/pmutual office to register.. hahahahaha

i finish work they all close already..i go work they all not yet open.. sat/sun they no open.. sienzz

Bwhahaha - i understand your pain. I was cheesed off too when i PERSONALLY and PHYSICALLY had to go and do it. But once then, great access to data & info for the funds i have, sometimes even FASTER than the data the agents get leh. Think of it like EPF online a/c lor - do it once, and be done with it

A good consultant will give.
At least email notification of fund performance. Meet up personally half yearly basis..

Bro Bonescythe - me smells kam sau Agent lurking around giving "information" and also trying to "manage expectations" leh. A sane customer will always want some updates / information / advice from their Agent, rather justifying "kalau ada 400 clients, how to update".
Just a hunch

If i'm mistaken, my apologies for my lousy sense of smell & imagination yar

looks nice

is there any switching charges between PB fund?

what % of EPF money can be use for investment?

Fuh, so rich ah you!

Conquered almost everthing you can get your hands on. Why not include gold or silver? (strictly no pun intended )

I used to have that follow the leader mentality. But found out that it doesn't suit my style & strategy (what strategy?!). So, i prefer to invest directly in the market with the company that i feel i'm comfortable with.

I can understand (i think) the reason to invest in PFES, PRSEC & PFEPRF, but why PAGF & PSSF? If you have the knowledge & firepower to invest directly in the domestic stock market, what makes you put your money in those 2 funds? Aren't you paying more for UT because of the fees?

my agent told me that P Ittikal will be closed for investment on 16 June?
Ask me to do standing instruction to keep money going in?

Any comment?

HJebat, i wish i am rich - perhaps richer than the church mouse but not by much

And no, i've NOT conquered almost everything i can get my hands on - conquered to me = able to teach and reason the stuff out to either my mum (70yrs old) or my girl (5 yrs old) If they cant understand, that means theres still "something not quite right" yet with my methodologies & reasonings.

Yup yup, playing strictly lemming (follow the leader) is, IMHO, offloading the responsibility to others instead of stepping up for oneself. If no responsibility, then mana boleh "make it better" & grow?


Gold & Silver
I was not early enough to learn the basics - interested in Gold & Silver, yes in 2008, learned enough during then no - thus, normal chicken-style, stayed out until i know more.

Now know a bit of basics, thus staying out as investing in currency / money equivalent and/or commodities DIRECTLY is not my cuppa yet.
BTW, i am investing in commodities via my "agent investment" at NAV, i find it fits a niche and for such a small amount, it's just a hedge


PAGF & PSSF via EPF reasoning:
PAGF
+ highly aggressive, thus a diversified approach better IMHO
+ smallcaps aint my forte in direct investments, thus leverage on PAGF
+ can hold up to 30% of foreign equities (PAGF was just "allowed" into the EPF scheme late last year or early this - i'm cant recall off-hand)

PSSF
+ sector rotation / sectoral , other than asset allocation, i've read somewhere (let me dig it up if U want to see see, like the value averaging thing), statistically makes a good return
+ again, this approach (sector rotation) is highly aggressive + i'm no expert in such an approach, thus diversified approach better IMHO

So far, my PER TRANSACTION gains from PSSF & PAGF outstrips PIX, thus i cut PIX and channeled the $ to PAGF

BTW, your mileage may vary - im using Value averaging (thus i want volatility) + im my own agent (kam sau to myself ) thus, my cost is lower + i have some stats that makes it personally attractive to me (due to my own donkey approach).


Bro / sis - if U think PIttikal is your cuppa, go for it. If U "was-was", then dont.
U do know how much U are making / losing up to now in %pa for your investment into PIttikal right? If U dont, pls go poke yr agent for the info. Remember, get the net profit/loss %pa or CAGR, not the donkey GROSS profit/loss.

Can consider them actually.
Everything comes with a risk of course. But since economy should be going to peak in the end of the year, am expecting most of the local region Mutual Fund to perform as well.

anybody can introduce a broker for me as im interested in public mutual fund

don't think they're called broker, just agent.
for me, its better someone that you can meet face to face,
so someone near your location.

why public ittikal drop so much?

Lucky move half of my ittikal to AMB value trust

Because recently it just paid out the dividend .

Each time.. When fund declare dividend, after dividend, it will drop based on how much dividend is being declared.

Example.

PEF is at 50 cents per unit.
Declare 10% dividend, or 5 cents per unit. for FYE 2011.
So, after the "X" date, the PEF unit will be priced at 0.45

Public smallcap fund underperform lately. Smallcap indices rise, this fund falls. Sigh. So called the best fund under mid-cap category in malaysia.
