Hi

I'm interested in doing DDI for my equity fund
however can i do a DDI from a bond fund? how much is the service change for a DDI from bond fund to unit trust?

but firstly is that even possible?

my agent recommended me to open a unit trust and a bond fund. so i can transfer money from both funds.

but how about doing DDI from bond fund to equity fund? do i need to pay any fee or something?

hmm maybe its not called DDI. she said instead of doing DDI from savings, just transfer money monthly from bond fund to equity.
i cant rmb the benefits already.

but if it acts as normal transaction, i still need to pay rm 25 right?

might as well i do DDI right?

hmmm ok. i guess i just do the normal DDI and not do dollar cost averaging by switching rm 200 from bond to equity

btw what do u mean lock paper profit?

Switching:

Terms and Conditions of Switching
Switching of units is considered a withdrawal/redemption of investment from a fund and an application to purchase units of another fund.
Switching of low-load units of bond/money market funds into equity and balanced funds will be subject to service charge.
Switching of loaded units may incur switching fee (of up to 0.75%) which is deductible from the redemption proceeds. The net proceeds will be processed into the "switch to" accounts based on the NAV per unit at the close of the business day:
For switching request made within 90 days of the date of purchase of units/switching into the fund, a switching fee of:
- 0.75% or minimum RM50 per transaction will be deducted from the redemption proceeds for switching from equity/balanced funds.
- 0.25% or minimum RM50 per transaction will be deducted from the redemption proceeds for switching from bond funds.
- RM50 per transaction will be deducted from the redemption proceeds for switching from money market funds.
For switching request made after 90 days of the date of purchase of units/switching into the fund, a switching fee of RM25 per transaction will be deducted from the redemption proceeds.
For Mutual Gold & Elite Members, the 18 and 30 switching entitlements valued at RM25.00 each can be used to offset switching fees incurred. For eg; if the switching fee incurred is RM75.00, a switching entitlement of RM25.00 can be used to offset the switching fee, thereby unitholder only incurs RM50.00 on this switching transaction.
Switching transacted before 4:00 pm on any business day will be processed based on the closing NAV per unit of the same business day whilst switching transacted after 4:00 pm on any business day will be processed based on NAV per unit of the next business day.
Switching for foreign funds transacted during non-business days of the funds will be processed based on pricing determined at the close of the next business day when both the Switch From and Switch To funds are opened for trading.
Public Mutual reserves the right to reject any switching request that it regards as disruptive to efficient portfolio management; or if deemed by Public Mutual to be contrary to the best interest of the fund. Switching requests which are rejected by Public Mutual would be treated as a redemption of units from a fund and a rejection of application to purchase units in the intended fund. As such, unitholders will receive payment of redemption proceeds in the event of a rejection in switching requests.
For full switching, please advise the bank to cancel your Direct Debit Authorization immediately.
Successful switching transactions will be processed within 2 business days.
Please contact our Hotline 03-6207 5000 should you require further information.

I plan to buy a new equity fund and have a DDI for it. My agent suggest me to buy PUBLIC SOUTH-EAST ASIA SELECT FUND. But, when I check performance of the fund, seems like Total return of the fund since Commencement till end-date is not really good. I know that 1 of reason is, it launch at 2007.

May I have some comment on the fund? Thanks...

oh btw is it recommended to take an agent that is provided by the bank itself or outside as in freelance or under another agency?

DDI is from your saving account to your unit trust either to be equity/bond/money market fund.

No service charge for DDI.

but how about doing DDI from bond fund to equity fund? do i need to pay any fee or something?

I do believe that all DDI or any AI will incurred the same SC 5.5% for equity / 0.25% for bond.
When enter bond fund, you will be charged 0.25% SC, then if you do monthly transfer from bond to equity, there will be another SC of 5.5%.
Make sure you do this by filling up a form of transferring monthly from bond fund to equity fund to avoid switching fees.
