hi guys...i just mailed my affin hwang PRS application forms on friday 12 Dec to FMS office...when should i start buying the same amount as per my application at the FMS website and when should i start transferring the money?

thx

You can start transferring the money now. They will only process your application when they received the fund in their account. Normally it will take 3-4 working days before it shows up in your FMS PRS account.

If let say those not interested in tax rebate, is it better to put the money in EPF instead?

Not much difference. PRS original intention is to match minimally EPF return.

If you're not interested with tax relief, it's better to find something better than EPF or PRS.

General guideline: EPF/PRS ---> 5 to 6% p.a on average

Yeah I have been thinking if I'm not short on cash in the near future perhaps I should just dump money into epf till the max each year rather than chasing FD musical chairs. Perfect for lazy people like me who have no time managing complex investment such as shares, UT etc. Sometimes not even UT can match the ROI of EPf tongue.gif

Let say if I bought Affin Hwang PRS Fund from FSM. Do we need to send the form to PRS provider (Affin Hwang) ourselves or to FSM?

Hey guys, I just registered a PPA account with CIMB Investment Bank without knowing FSM offer Zero Sales Charges for PRS fund.
My advice: Register to CIMB bank as it can link to your CIMB clicks (you can't link your PPA account if you registered thru CIMB Investment)

1. If I intend to buy PRS fund from FSM, do I need to register a new PPA account with them?
2. I tried to login my account thru PPA.com, I realize there is only one fund available for me to select. How to add more funds from CIMB? or from other service Provider?
3. What should I do I want to purchase funds from other service provider other than CIMB?

Thanks in advance.

1. You can only have 1 PPA account. It will consolidate all your PRS funds purchased from various channels.

2. You cannot buy PRS funds directly from PPA that is why you can only see the funds you have purchased. To purchase other PRS funds, you have to deal with them (CIMB/FSM) directly.

3. I think you just need to fill up their PRS purchase form and together with your PPA account number will do.

for #2, I checked my PPA account, it is possible to top up PRS through PPA, I check its charge is  RM0.53, am I right?

Sorry my bad looks like we can top up our PRS online using PPA online account now too. Seems they will only charge RM0.53 for the transaction fee. A good alternative to top up PRS account. However, it looks like opening PRS account with new service provider still needs to submit documents manually.

What is the difference between class A and C? Seeing that the difference is only rm3 assuming I put rm3k in PRS.
*
Well annual management fees will be charged yearly based on your total investment so if you have 30k in the PRS the difference will be RM30 already. However I don't see much difference between Class A and C in terms of returns so those buying Class A will enjoy 0.1% higher return compared to Class C.

I have few questions regarding to this PRS,

1. How to calculate the "first 10 years tax relief" ? its start on since 2012, or the year that we start invest in the PRS ?

2. in what condition, we are able to withdraw all the amount in PRS? except for the account B 30% withdrawal with 8% penalty.

3. Is it really worth the RM3000 tax relief annually to invest on the PRS? what do u guys personally think of this?

4. Is there any PRS that can allow us to set our own duration of the investment?
for example like 10 years or 20 years later able to withdraw full amount .
*
1. It is start to calculate from 2012, the year when PRS was introduced but as long as the investment in PRS is still small, we are confident that the government will continue the rebate beyond 2021.

2. Upon retirement age 55 or migrate to other countries.

3. Yes if your tax bracket falls in the upper bracket (more than 10%). Else you better off with other investments.

4. No. You are looking more at saving plans from insurance companies for this kind of package and usually the ROI is only mediocre.

IMHO
