ASW2020 is a good fund, I think. This fund is issued by government and the dividend yield is quite high. However, I understand that there's quota for bumi and non-bumi. Normally, quota for non-bumi will be full on the 1st day issuing. Not really want to go there early morning and queue there to buy the fund.

Ya, normally IPO fund will give bonus. PAIF give 1% bonus unit if you buy during IPO, which is before 11Sept.

Not sure if anyone posted this 

Hi there, I'm new to the thread. Just want to remind everyone that a 1% bonus unit isn't actually a bonus ya... remember a unit trust is based on the total net worth of the fund divided by the number of units....so if they give you more units the actual value of the each unit falls to compensate....most marketing staff don't actually remind this important fact to the customer. (I know I used to market UT meself...) btw also note that the higher the initial fees the greater the fund has to beat the market to breakeven and attain your desired profit.

If you are more financial savvy and wouldn't mind spending more time learning stocks, you would actually stand to earn more in the long run...my 2 cents.
