Index Fund only 5sen!!!!

@MakNok
I was thinking the same... hm, I don't reinvest those distributed amount.

mutual fund prices are falling... It has been 4 months and my investment is losing value!

Index fund dividend also 5 cent the same as last year.
now maybe i want to switch all to Public regular saving just to get the 3% dividend so can claim income tax.

Well, judging from the current trend. The share market is in the correction trend for the past one month. DJIA is below 10k now.

This is not the way of investing in unit trust. But I came across a lot of people who followed your way.

Added on February 8, 2010, 3:21 pmBursa may be facing 10pc correction in first half

THE Malaysian stock market could expect to see a 10 per cent potential correction in the first half of the year amid concern that global economic growth was faltering.

In stating this, Great Eastern Life Assurance (Malaysia) Bhd chief investment officer Richard Lin saw the year as a challenging one for the market.

"For the first quarter, the market is expected to be volatile," he told a luncheon meeting in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday.

"It is all a confidence issue now, but you will see single-digit positive performance, if any, this year."

Last Friday, share prices on Bursa Malaysia ended the week lower, with the key barometer falling to its lowest point since November 4 last year, dragged down by losses in heavy-weights. Sentiment was affected by sharp losses on Wall Street and regional bourses.

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) dropped 11.2 points to 1,247.9 points.

Lin said, however, that the expected correction should not cause too much concern as it would provide an opportunity for investors. - Bernama

i know it is not the way...but by switching from one fund to one fund with minimizing losses but gaining in double Income Tax rebat within the same year will greatly reduce on income tax impose.

@MakNok
What if the market in correction straight after you get the distribution payout, just like the recent PIX's case? You will see a lost.

Sorry noob question.



What is gross distribution?


I also don't understand the transaction fees.
Is it some % from the total yearly revenue?





According to the performance charts, some schemes claim over 50% roi per annum. Is it possible?
Is it including the transaction fees?

110,

Gross distribution is the dividend before tax. Transaction fee is the service charge when you buy a fund. When the market is good, it is very usual to see funds achieving returns of over 50%. There is no transaction fee when you sell your funds.

As per the rumours BNM may hike the interests rate the first time since 2008, for those who are holding lots of bond funds now, will you switch to somewhere else or maintain as it is and top-up when the NAV comes down? share your idea pls?

Do all the funds charge 5.5% deposit?



My agent is recommending me to go for "Public Islamic Asia Leaders Equity Fund".
Any comment?

110,

Only equity funds charge 5.5% service charge.

Hi guys, any particular funds that are worth investing now? I've already put some amount into PIALEF. Trying to invest in other funds as well.
