Lowyat82,

Someone else has to help you. I had setup my A/C so long ago that I do not what is the new and correct procedure. Please, do not do this for your bucket 1 and 2 money. Stock market do crash and yopu need some emergency fund to survive first before you can talk about investing.

act... i survey 1st wether to invest in bankin stock or UT....i not yet invest coz now im savind for bucket 2 money....

.i think wit d money i hav saved from when i was small, can let me survive,at least 4month..shud i use this money to put at FD?


btw, i was thinkin to put like around rm1.2k every 2 month in FD... is this ok? i noe its not too much coz i jus started work.... so that, d money that i sav can get some interest rather than nothing

just call my mom to verify whether i am bumi or not,my mom is pure bumi but my dad pure chinese,she is not too sure too.am i a bumi?? i dont know coz my birth certificate dint verify it.some people say yes some people no.
but my mom got this ASB,so i am thinking of putting my money in her account.she is not investor,but she tell me when she put 400 and never touch it,2 years later it become 1000+,in which its huge!i cant open one yet coz i am working in uk...not going back in few years.

if you guys where me,what you guys will do?
my monthly savings(net income)is rm5.5k,currently all my money(40k)Is just sitting in the normal savings account in maybank. will you guys just put it in FD or put in ASB?whats the interest in ASB today?

Keep some in checking A/C. The rest put in 1 year FD. RM1.2K every 2 months in one year FD sound like a good plan to start.

Ah_suknat,

I do not know whether you should put money into ASB. But, you are comparing apples and oranges. FD is for bucket 2 money. ASB is for bucket 3 money.

from your previous post,you mention that bucket 2 money is for 6 month emergencies fund,right?

but let say i dont need to have the emergency money coz i dont have car or house or any other loan to pay.what i need now is to earn money as much as possible,as fast as possible with the minimum risk.

so instead of putting some money into the FD,will it be a good option if i pump all the money to ASB?

anyhow,how does ASB or ASM works? its some kind like bond and equity rite?
can some guru tell me please...

Ah_suknat,

1) How do you know you do not need emergency fund??

2) If the stock market crashes and takes 3 years to recover, where are you going to get some money??

Bucket 3 money is for long term investment and there is risk associated that when you need the money, you may not get it.

You can put money into bucket 3 is because you have money in bucket 2. You do not need to touch bucket 3 money for a long time. It is up to you to decide how much money is needed in bucket 1 & 2 in order for you to sleep at night

ASB and ASM are unit trusts run by PNB. PNB is a government linked company.

ASB can only be bought by bumiputra.

thanks for replying,
assume that i had enough funds to cover my bucket 1 and 2,and i need some investment,do you reckon ASB is a good deal to pump all my bucket 3 funds in it? i try google ASB but nothing seems help for me to learn about it.

No idea..

I don't know much about ASB, but generally it is better to keep a portfolio, reduces the risk. Also, be very sure you have enough funds for emergency, liquidity is one of the main aspects taken into consideration when investing. Some tips I've learned from high ranking cooperate figures are only invest what you can afford to lose (debatable) and never take a loan to invest in share markets =P.

ASB is something like ASW2020?
if yup, i think u better put into it.... coz non-bumi simply cant put money in it now!!!

btw, last time i put rm1000(if not mistaken) and each year got dividend around rm70-110 @.@

what about real-estate investment? how deos it work??

wow...that's quite high!range between 7%to 11% annually!

is amanah saham national,bumiputra,malaysia,wawasan 2020,amanah saham watever all the same?i dont mean exactly the same do they fall into same categories?
if i am not mistaken they are like equity income funds in which the funds are invested in company which pay high dividend,that is,they distribute a large portion of the profits they earn to their shareholders,an equity income fund is usually considered to be conservative therefore may be appropriate for investor whose objective is to create a stream of income from their investment that they will be able to live on.(copy from a book)

thats the defination for equity income funds,but i am not sure whether these amanah saham thing is belong to this categories.

please correct me if i am wrong.
