Pebbie, if not mistaken existing holders can still do top-up, just that NEW investors are not allowed to invest at the moment...until further notice, plz correct me if i'm wrong, agents:)

i am not an agent, but called up the PM online, what u mentioned is correct. Only opened to the existing holders.

Investor moved to Singapore, wants to change/update address.

Option 1: update address in PMOnline but in order to have PMOnline, the investor MUST submit the application form IN PERSON to branch/HQ.

Option 2: Investor must submit change address form directly in person to branch/HQ

Option 3: Agent (KL) must go to Singapore, get the forms signed and bring back to branch/HQ

As if PMutual is giving us a lot of options but NONE of it make any sense at all ! No wonder FundSupermart picks up like rockets while PMutual is still crawling trying to understand online transaction - FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS !!!.

To experience PMutual agents, any of you know a way around this ? For an outstation investor to change his address without the hassle of coming back in person ?

If the investor already has a PB Internet Banking account, it looks like you can do PMOnline registration via this account.

Added on April 19, 2010, 10:37 pmThis fund has been doing well, so many wants to buy. But being SMALL cap, there probably aren't enough shares around to buy without pushing the prices up to ridiculous levels.

Yes you can.

Once registration completed, they will mail the first time login PIN to you.

Hello, im really new on UT knowledge and is preparing to buy my very first UT. It might be commonly asked to you people that which fund is best purchased but i guess the answer would be very much subjective.

So, i personally am looking at

1) PUBLIC DIVIDEND SELECT FUND (PDSF)
2) PUBLIC FAR-EAST ALPHA-30 FUND (PFA30F) <--- new fund

Can anyone here kindly give me some brief advice which of these two would be best purchase?

Anybody topup recently using PMO? How does the ongoing 5.25% service charge promotion works?

My friend called CS and told me that additional investment (topup) needs to be at the min amount of RM 1k in order to enjoy the promotional service charge of 5.25% and the transaction must be done from PMO and not from PBeBank.

Recently they have an EGM to approve to invest in stock with market capital of > RM1.25b so now already revised.

splashmilk,

To make things easier for you, I will NEVER recommend new funds for my clients because you could be 2 months behind other funds in performance.

@David83
Do not need at least 1K to enjoy the 5.25 service charge. Just minimum amount will do

But I did not try the transaction through PBe.

My friend topped up recently (last week I think) but the statement showed that he was charged 5.5% instead of 5.25%. Then he called PM CS to clarify and they shared with them that the min amount for topup in order to enjoy the promotional service charge need to be RM 1k.

hi, i would like to invest in public mutual, so anyone got idea about PUBLIC AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND

thanks

There is an existing PM discussion.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1299169

Soon ur thread will be close by mod

1) This fund is invested 25% of the fund in the financial sector which is highly related to the economy. With a simple estimation like 10 years a recession gap, the fund is possible grow to until in 5 years until to mature level.

2) As for 60% of the fund is located in Malaysia, it is probably low/middle risk due to Malaysia is a conservative country that all the investment is guide by the Bank Negara Malaysia. There is another 15% is in china which is assume a 5% minimum growth annually while the target is set at 8% for their government.

For my personal opinion, Malaysia economy is almost recover of 80% based on the performance of overall company in share price while China is estimated recover 100% and grow to a better level.

What i mean is to compare the potential of recovery with the potential of grow. If you invest the fund in recession and you will properly earn about 50% -100% grow in 1 year while if you invest the fund now and you will properly earn around 5%-10% or higher if lucky.

As for this fund is recover up to 80% compare to the highest price in 3 years. I assume the speed of grow will become slower and there is a risk to drop but the risk is low as i mention the investment is in Malaysia and China.

Political issue<< i skip this due to hard for estimation.

Conclusion:
If you wish to earn a better profit by putting your money in saving, there is definitely a YES to invest in this fund. If you wish to earn a high profit with this fund, it is probably hard with this fund.

**The info given up there is based on my own opinion. There may be other issue that i hard to mention all in here or the issue that not acknowledged by me.**

i think thie thred deserve to be merged with the existing thread Public Mutual Fund.

By the way Ern3st , how actually you analysis the Fund whether it has the potential to increase in NAV, is it merely based on fundamental(internal,external related news, makro/mikro economic condition) ? comparing the fund graph with the broad market(KLCI/Hap Seng/Shanghi?)?

Compare with graph is 1 of the type of analysis. It is extremely important in compare in the graph in order to make a rational analysis like what i stated in previous post. In fact there are a lot of issue that may influence the fund such as Environment, Industry, Economy Condition, Politic issue, Legal issue, Accounting standard, Tax Issue, Financing environment, Business environment. Anyway it is only theory in the book unless you know how to analyze it in reality.

For my analysis, i treat fund is a business due to the fund is investing in the business therefor if you able to analyze in business>industry>environment very well and this will provide you a good strength in investing in fund. Anyway most of the environment fact is also a prediction from the analyst.

For example, if i predict there would a change of government for next year? so the investment will have a great impact due to the unstable of politic environment. But it is only my prediction with NO SUPPORTING DOCUMENT.

If i predict there would be a crisis due to a particular country who facing a financial loss of USD$300billion? so this bring a global economy crisis once again and caused Malaysia economy to goes down which is bringing the investment value down.

Anyway there is no 100% right/wrong in analysis while just in term of " Do you believe it?" If dun believe the analyst and you may change. If dun believe the type of analyze approach and you may change.

Hopefully you may get some understanding about analyze an investment.

Any unit trust agent here? Can recommend me an agent, thanks!

How does the dividend works in public mutual funds?

Like stock market dividend.

You can choose for payout or reinvest.
