Both mentioned funds have 1 year return of 7%p.a. Not bad

SK = Sukuk = Islamic Bond Fund.

i guess other mutual fund company do not have such rules.
the reason why they impose this rules is many investor switch in/out the big amount from one fund to another, and the fund size become unstable.
at time, when there is no liquidity in the fund, they need to force sell some stocks and occur lost, and will affect the fund performance.

one time upfront service charge 0.25%, no exit fee.
annual management fee 0.75%
trustee fees 0.08%

there is no tax on dividend payout from bond fund to fund investors as per the annual report, as when the bond issuer pay dividend to PM it has already been tax once.

Islamic bond open for all, not only for Muslim. Like halal food for all, not only for muslim.

Take Public Islamic Strategic Bond and Public Strategic Bond for example. Both funds launched at the same time, and the returns are almost the same, Public Islamic Strategic Bond maybe perform a bit better. From the annual reports, Strategic bond invest more on financial insituitions bonds,
whereas Islamic Strategic Bond invest more on telco/ infrastructure/ utility bonds.

About the limited investment opportunity, in terms of chioce of industry i would say yes, but in terms of number of bond papers, i dont think so, as Malaysia is the biggest sukuk issuer country in the world, and it is still growing fast.

Not exactly, for PB Islamic Bond and Public Islamic Bond Funds as example, one of their biggest holding is Bank Muamalat, and also Abu Dhabi Bank. Islamic Bank is allowed.

dont think so, it is nothing to do with General Election.
In 2009, right after the 2008 economy sub prime crisis, the BNM annouce to give full protection for ANY AMOUNT of your deposits in any banks.

The main purpose of BNM 250K cap is to make sure the rich can spread thier money to all other banks, not just consolidate their deposits in one or few banks. You will be surprise in some rural areas, those rich Chinese depositors even put their money in Bank Islam, BSN, and etc.

the fund that u mentioned already closed for subscription.

of course price is shown, so that the existing investors know how much their investment worth.

i have invested in Public Bond, Public Islamic Bond, PB Islamic Bond, but all these are closed.
The other fund that i have invested and still open is Public Islamic Strategic Bond Fund

I can't tell which fund will perform better. If u r in doubt, split your RM3k equally into the 2 funds u mentioned.

You can either by the PB series funds from Public Bank
or buy Public series funds from agent.

The service charge are the same @ 5.5% for equity/balanced funds.

There is no direct linkage between Public Mutual and Pakatan Rakyat.
Public Mutual is a private investment entity whose invest in stock markets and bonds, whatever affects the stock markets will affects the fund performance of PM.

My opinion is if Pakatan win in the next GE, there will be some adjustment/ correction due to the market sentiments, uncertainties and etc.
GLC public listed counters may not change much, as it is only the change of ownership from BN to PR. Same as Khazanah, PNB, Tabung Haji, EPF, before that BN in control, if PR win then PR in control.

The full name of the fund is call Am Dynamic Bond fund. Bond = fixed income.

down again today...

Bond or money market fund

CIMB clicks is having promotion, all equity funds that invest via cimb clicks are with 1.88% promotion.

1.88% sales charge is damn attractive, it is even lower than the FSM
i hope PM can learnt a lesson.

i tot we already have a Public Mutual Thread?
admin, can u merge it?
