who knows how it goes....but you have 2 better chances of winning.....
if your selected horse win. you won + RM 8 (you saved earlier)
if your selected horse is neck to neck, you won RM 8 (you saved earlier)
if your selected horse lose, you lose

If you want to buy PRS, you should buy only RM3000 in the month of December every year [SIZE=7]until the year of assessment 2021. This will give you individual tax relief [SIZE=7] tongue.gif

hmm.gif Why Only the month of December.....other months got no individual tax relief? tongue.gif

ex...May~ Nov the Nav could have gone up then stayed flat for another year from Dec

and that post in 1008 seems "not correct"

thank you for your link.

by the way, i couldnt see HLA in the list, does that mean if i purchase the PRS from HLA, i cant get tax relief?

I think the HL one is the Deferred annuity plan
which you can also get the tax relief.....btw...the tax relief is till 2021 only...

What’s the Difference of Private Retirement Scheme and Deferred Annuity Plan?
Read More http://kclau.com/retirement/prs-da/ - See more at: http://kclau.com/retirement/prs-da/#sthash.Sa4jNMb5.dpuf

With the PRS, you are not committed to contribute a fixed sum of money to the fund annually, ie. which means that you have greater flexibility in determining how much you want to contribute to the fund, if you are the type who are not overly concerned about the personal relief for tax purposes. While in the case of the deferred annuity scheme, you would have committed yourself to contribute a fixed amount (say, RM3,000) for the next 10 years.

I am so over my head on this 1, so hopefully fellow forumers can assist me [and others who are like me] for better understanding :

[1] How long is the commitment (e.g. when can I reap the benefit of my contributions ? I suppose it is based on the retirement age as per the statutory law in Malaysia ?
PRS objective are helping to accumulate retirement savings, contributions to the PRS are also split and maintained in two sub-accounts, i.e. sub-account A which comprises 70% of contributions and sub-account B which comprises 30% of contributions. Full withdrawals from the PRS account can only be made upon the satisfaction of certain criteria* and partial-withdrawals can only be made from sub-account B subject to restrictions and penalties**.

*Reaching the prevailing retirement age, death or leaving Malaysia permanently.
**Members may only withdraw the amount in sub-account B once a year. The withdrawal amount is subject to a pre-retirement withdrawal fee of RM25 and also a tax penalty of 8%. The tax penalty will be deducted before the balance is credited to your account. The first pre-retirement withdrawal is allowed only after a year from the date of the first contribution by the PRS contributor. Subsequently, pre-retirement withdrawals will be allowed once in every calendar year.
"pls note that...there may not be "any benefits" available during the intend retirement age withdrawal, "IF" the funds are performing badly for some times prior to the withdrawal age....this investment is NOT risk free".
When you invest in a PRS Fund, there is investment risks involved. There are general risks which you will be exposed to when investing in any of the PRS Funds as well as specific risks associated with the investment portfolio of each PRS Fund. Therefore, before making an investment decision, you should consider the different type of risks that may affect you and the Fund. These risks are disclosed in the PRS Scheme Disclosure Document or Product Highlights Sheet.

[2] What is the minimum contribution, and what is the frequency [monthly, annually?]
Minimum initial contribution is RM100 and minimum subsequent contribution is RM50 per fund. frequency...up to your likings and convenience

CAPITAL PROTECTED FUNDS
YOU CAN MAKE THEM YOURSELF!
https://secure.fundsupermart.com/main/resea...5?articleNo=847

hmm.gif is "Capital Protected Funds" = Inflation Protected Funds ?
What is the purposes of your investments?
Protect your capital? or Protect your available money against inflation? or Maximising the efficiencies to maximise the ROI?

Never forget the below (just some of the longer lists)
Does the product I am considering meet my investment objective and needs?
What is my investment objective? For example, is it to accumulate funds for my retirement or for my children's education? How much funds do I need and when do I need them?
How much return on investment do I need, after taking into consideration the effects of inflation, to meet my investment objective?
Am I comfortable with the level of risk that comes with the product I am considering? How much losses am I prepared to incur? What are the potential losses in the worst-case scenario for the product I am considering?

There is no one best investment product for everyone. What is important is to determine your investment objective and needs, then assess which product is suitable for you.

Do not rush through the process. Take time to understand the product and consider whether it meets your needs before you finalise your decision. Read all documents and forms before you sign anything. Never sign blank forms. Remember that you may have to bear fees, expenses and/or investment losses if you change your mind about purchasing the product, or decide to sell it or switch to another product prematurely. It may also be too late to reverse your purchase decision if you subsequently find that the product is not suitable (e.g. the investment risk is higher than what you are prepared to take, the protection benefits provided are not what you need).

What happens to the PRS investments upon sudden death?
Beneficiary nomination is not permitted under the law for PRS and in the event of death, the PRS monies will return to the estate of the deceased member to be distributed in accordance to the instruction of the probate court.

What documents are required for withdrawal due to death?
For pre-retirement withdrawals due to death or permanent departure from Malaysia, the following information and a copy of the following supporting documents must be sent to the PRS Provider as soon as reasonably possible. Prior authorization by the PPA is required for pre-retirement withdrawals due to death.

PRS is sort of Unit trust investment......they don't pay interest to you.
they are not guaranteed products like Bank Fixed Deposit.
Your investment in PRS carries investment risks...

Is the investment into PRS guaranteed by the government or does it have a minimum dividend policy?

PRS investments are not guaranteed and it does not have any statutory minimum dividend policy. You are advised to read and understand the Disclosure Document and Product Highlights Sheet to understand the risks involved before investing into a PRS.

Hey guys, anyone here took advantage of the PRS youth scheme? It's the one where you get RM500 from govt if you invest RM1000.

I'm wondering why my RM1000 increased but RM500 decreased.
