may i know wat is the requirement to become agent?
any minimum target to achieve in order to maintain the position of agent?

1. Attend the course to become CFP/UTC.
2. There's of min annual target to reach.

august.decision,

Register yourself with an upline, go for the CUTE tutorial and exam. You will be an agent after you have passed the exam. For Public Mutual, the annual maintenance target is RM30,000.

my cousin sis also doin part time... the one she's selling is u withdraw from ur epf a/c for 3yrs, after that if u choose to stop, all monies including profits will go back to epf... since i cant withdraw anything except for buying hse, might as well dump some to mutual funds & earn slightly higher returns...

Since I am now an agent, My EPF investment is only 1% sales charge... not bad being a PM UTC.

Only beef I have with PM is that some of the very good funds we cannot use the EPF portion to buy. Eg. PIBOND, PBF, PSF , PSMALLCAP

xuzen,

But you still have PIX and PIDF. PIX is also equally as good.

My 2 sen. Instead of 'holding on to it', you can check out the other funds within Public Mutual. If u think those funds got better chance of shooting up then (learn how to) switch to those funds. Case in point, after the mega rally in March 2009 for PCSF, that fund began to perform marginally and end up other funds like P Select Alpha 30 outperform it by many times.

Newbie here, thinking of starting to invest in PM. A student, no fixed income and have RM 1X XXX in ASB but thinking to invest to something better.

---> Have been consulting with one of the PM consultant and he recommend me to invest in ITTIKAL because it is a moderate type of fund and the profile suit with me. Izzit a good recommendation?

Frankly speaking, generally ASx return is higher than PM.

pergilahsayang,

Since you are a Bumiputera, please continue to save in ASB as it is your privilege. The investment is guaranteed and you will get somewhat consistent return, free of tax. ASB is second to none for Bumiputeras.

I'm just curious, how come ASB can generate so much more superior returns than other types of funds? Is it because ASB can print money, or Government channels the wealth from the public's coffers to ASB?

simplesmile,

Lets just say ASB has 'economies of scale'

Very very few managers can beat the index. Are the managers at ASB so good that they can beat the index all the time?

hi forumers,

need some advice here.
my fund PAGF has not recovered from the initial price i bought due to the economy crisis, a big slump in 2008.

thinking should i switch to other, PAUEF?

Really? but i heard most of the time, in long term PM can actually outperform the ASB. Yes, i am looking for a long term investment ( my goals 9-14 years ). Trying to find something better than ASB for long term investment

@pergilahsayang
Most PM funds (equities) are investing into stocks market, the concept is, you gotta get in the right time, and get out the right time too in order to earn.

To switch from PAGF to PAUEF, you must have strong reasons to believe that the Australian economy or currency will outperform the Malaysian economy in the near future of 3-5 years? If you have solid, overbearing and compelling reasons to believe that, then go ahead and switch, if not, then you are just speculating blindly so you should just stay put.
