how to monitor NAV for certain UT fund for the latest one?
can i buy UT units online without UT agents, i want to control the U.T myself?
what charges involve?

1. ETF is very cost effective - plus point
2. ETF offering in Malaysia small choice - minus point
3. ETF volume is thinly traded - minus point
4. ETF mostly tracks the benchmark, won't do better or worse - Neutral point
5. ETF is passive investment not active - plus or minus depend on your standing 

Overall ETF in malaysia is minus point. If you want to play ETF you must venture out of Malaysia stock market.

got 10k epf to invest into PM. which new fund has the most potential now. i prefer agressive fund. would appreciate any advice. my UT agen a bit blur blur

Unfortunately you can't invest with them directly from Malaysia as BNM does not allow foreign financial institutions (scared of the competition?). You will have to open an offshore investment account (distributor) and probably an foreign bank account to facilitate fund transfer.

From my experience, the auditor of PM needs at least one weekend to calculate the returns, so you will be able to know by next Monday.

Added on June 4, 2010, 11:57 pmGuys, FYI the distribution is in already Please check from PMO

I think they take time to do that. I also wondering why so slow. How you check? Through PMO or Telemutual?

gark,

It has nothing to do with marketing gimmick or confusion. The reason is simple. It is easier to manage funds with smaller size than funds with gargantuan size. By introducing new funds, the fund managers can easily manage 5 funds with total NAV of RM1 billion, rather than 1 fund with NAV of RM1 billion.
jeff_ckf,

I am not really sure of the data used, because different rating companies use different approach, but I would assume it is the net change in NAV for the year and the distributions paid out for the year.

(Price at end of period - Price at the begin period + any distribution)/Price at the begin period

Please check your statement or the dividend slip.

The number of units you get through reinvest is based on the NAV that reinvest is executed.

Hi unitholders, currently im helping my mother to plan our family funds. First of all, she invest in PM around 1996 and invest rm500 monthly until today for my sister. Which bring a total of 172k. She just blindly invest only. However, few weeks ago my mom opened another 1 account for me. Total 108k. I dont understand how the 5.5% charge works. Now my mum got around 120k in amanah saham wawasan 2020. So after ASW2020 pay out the interests, she plans to transfer all the money into PM. So here are the questions:
1. Should we put 120k into my sister's one? Based on my calculation, the returns for this year based on my sister account is 12%. Total amount invested rm61k+, and the return is 7k+(this is for 1 fund. got another fund i dont know the amount)

Sorry im secondary school leaver so i dont know much about unit trust or mutual fund. Learning it now by the way. Because im solely looking at the return % only. Assuming invest 500k with minimum 8.5% return, can get RM42500 annually which is more than enough to bear my education fees + living expenses in college.

2. If put 120k into my account, will the return as high as in putting 120k into my sister account?
3. Is that worth to transfer all FD from other banks into PM?
4. I heard some people say PM is riskier than amanah saham. But from my POV, lately many rumors that government will bankrupt and bla bla due to corruptions. This make me trust PM more than ASW2020 but we still need to prepare for the worst case scenario. So if PM really going down, what to do? withdraw all the money?

i just checked with PM, Most of my dad's fund were bought at 2007 ogos. Put in a total of 59k and now value is 62k.

Already lost out to inflation 

Well he bought near the peak (end 2007) so even if it is a good fund, the loss and poor performance is inevitable. 

IIRC my dad have a fund that is public islamic dividend fund. Return is absolutely rubbish with 5.1k in  at 2007 and now only 5.2k

Was thinking to put them into highly aggressive fund such as Small Cap

Dear xuzen. Can you show how you get the 6% return as as the simple profit now is only a 1.9% increase and an online calculator show an annualized return of 0.649 % only

Dear Gark,

Could you share your insight with us why you would say that DCA is rubbish? My agent recommended me to invest by DCA.

Thanks

PM cannot fight AMB now.

I switch all my ittikal fund to AMB value trust.
