Hi everyone,

I’m considering transferring out of my current PRS fund, Principal Islamic RetireEasy 2040 A, as its returns have been underperforming compared to FixDeposit. I’m looking at the following options and reviewing those based on past performance on FSMOne:

1. AHAM PRS Growth Fund
2. Manulife PRS Growth Fund
3. Manulife PRS Shariah Growth Fund

I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions for better alternatives. Also, if anyone knows of any other websites or discussions where I can further analyze on the PRS funds, I’d be grateful for the recommendations!

Cheers, smile.gif

Actually depends on what you want actually. What works for you can't work for me and vice versa.

I go for the best growth over time and I prefer foreign holdings Vs Malaysian.

You can consider this 2 if you want the best best growth.
1. Principal retireeasy 2050
2. Rhb Retirement islamic balance

Keep in mind it may swing a lot as I am an aggressive investor.

You can choose and compare your PRS here.

Majority of PRS in Malaysia are hopeless and tak boleh pakai. Giving less than EPF return.

I looked up this principal islamic fund, its quite a new fund. Established in Sept 22. How long have you invested in this fund? Are u expecting positive returns every year? Funds sometimes have bad year or two.

But cons of this fund:
1. Still very new with short track.record
2. Small size, no scale. So fixed expenses will eat up a lot of the returns.

And sorry, I dont have a view of any of the other 3 funds you mentioned. Most PRS have been sub par because of high exposure to Malaysian equities and also bonds.

Thanks for the information @Ramjade @Cubalagi.

I initially invested in the fund around 2022. I'm now looking into PRS options with broader global exposure, hoping to achieve better long-term returns than EPF.

I'll definitely look into the points you all shared in more detail. Appreciate the insights!
