Hi all, would like to clarify about PRS. I went to 1 of the CIMB branch to enquire about their fund, what I'm being told:
1. the PRS won't give me any interest/dividend;
2. temporary up/down of the price is not going to affect me, so I basically can just buy it any forget about it;
3. and therefore the performance of the fund almost doesn't matter to me, until I'm 55 years old.

Is this how PRS works? confused.gif so I basically don't need to care too much on the performance of the fund? As I will know the "result" only after almost 20 yrs later.

I see, so means the performances still does matter and I might need switching fund from time to time.

If 1 yrs after my purchase and let say the fund price has increase by 5%, and I’m performing the switch, is the concept the same with stock - my profile will “sell” the fund at current price and earn 5%, then “purchase” the new fund with that total of 105% amount?

Not sure whether this is a good timing, but I’m doing this too late as it’s already Dec and have to make a purchase although I saw some fund is near the peak at the moment sad.gif

Haha, you're right biggrin.gif

you just got no choice even if the prices are high IF you want to take the tax reduction benefits.... :biggrin:
Ya the main purpose is for tax reduction. OK, now I shall do more homework myself and decide which fund to go for. Thank you so much on your prompt reply  thumbup.gif  notworthy.gif
