Very interesting threads, indeed .

If all of you would like to know more about Unit Trust investment from scratch or meant for rookies, I would strongly recommend this book for everyone.

Author: Jeffrey Gan.
ISBN: 983-2431-88-3
Title: Know Your Unit Trust Investment.
Price: RM27.90.

Description: It's about UT investment locally. My advice is, try not to get any foreign books regarding UT because some of the rules might not applicable locally. This book tells you from A-Z especially the basics. It covers some calculation and examples on which deeply helps you to understand further. Jargons and their explanations. Most important of all, the hidden charges you will incur per transaction. Your rights.

What I like about this book is, they gave lots of example for some theories.

Hope it will englighten all of you.

Trust me on this, after reading this book, you will know what question to ask the UT agent, the pro & cons and etc.

Ooo.....will try to find it to buy if got time and chance....
Btw, we shud always trust the agent or make our own decision sometimes?

Try not to dilly-dally when it comes to knowledge enhancement . Grab this book and it's just 137 page, half the size of B5 , can be finished in a day.

A wise investor, is a person who knows what they are investing and not just park their money in on something they don't know and HOPE & PRAY for returns .

Sometimes you have to trust the agent, it would be better if the agent is your friends, well-experienced and care to educate you. Some of the crooks agents out there, they just want the commission and by the way the highest commission these agents will get is from selling you an equities. A good UT agent is an agent that sells you portfolio rather than units .

sometimes human tend to lazy mar. Me too. so mayb ask around then park the money on other guys hand is okay...(as long as i earn he earn, i will not feel bad)

Haha....

For me, the way I learn UT/MF is, put some money into it, then you will learn it very fast...

I just know a bit about UT when I invest in UT, but now I'm confident to say, I know quite a lot about UT. Now, I'm learning how to choose a right funds and how to predict the returns.

Ops...if place wrongly then pay for the lesson

if u have the skill in invest in the stock market...then invest urself
if u are the busy employee & no time to monitor...unit trust is a best choice! to select a potential unit trust is no so complicated than stock selection...just follow the leader like public mutual, Prudential & ING

i thought prudential and iNG is specialised on insurance?

This is the way I use. When you put money on it, you will not be lazy to learn about it. The money is your motivation and spirit, sure you may pay it for the lesson. There is no free lesson in this world.

ING and Prudential is specialised in insurances, but they also offer investment linked product, they are still considered as mutual funds.

Try to learn from forum and some books, then put a little bit money into it, then you can learn it very fast. I recommend Public Mutual, as it wins many awards every year. I'm thinking to switch my funds to Public Mutual...

Oo....i will try to learn then...but too many words nad numerical confuse me then.....

i understand some but not understand some too....

if i want to sell unit trust, how much i can earn the commission?
how to calculate the commission!
Maybe here can sell to a lot ppl who is interesting but don't know what to buy! hehe
a business a lowyat too...don't know they allow to advertise at here or not? or need to pay the advertisement fees?

bout selling have to be done at the garage sales as wat is told in the announcement there. Read there to know more.

Maybe you can let people know about you're the agent, then ask forumers PM you if interested. As I heard from my friends, Public Mutual agent can get 2.85% commision.

Oo...i thought pidah is the public mutual fund agent?

Lol ... I'm Public Mutual agent too ...
Anyone wanna invest in unit trust while the stocks are hot ?

Public Mutual fund sure bright future la all the funds got many awards
btw luqmanz you wat branch 1

it is juz win awrds, not 100% mean it is good in future. It is awarded based on the past, not the future. No ofense though.

**offtopic: Y u add me in msn btw? Hha, any motif?

Sorry for bringing month April post here. I'm just reading what was discussed in the past.

From your post,... Now already November... Is this brokerage still at 0.5%? I did came across someone mentioning about the ranges of brokerage, Stamp duty and Clearing fee charges(if not mistaken, the poster is you also...).

Wondering how can I minimise these fees...
I do know that, amount invested of 100k could get lower rate. But I'm talking about looking for better firm to do trading. Anyone know any other sites gave good rate? 0.5% is the least, not? Thanks.
