i use DCA since the first time in PRS until now....

but my method diff a bit than bro Ram.

i DCA monthly about 150, others 100 i parking in CMF2......if the dip come i will aggressively topping...

if come again , i top again......until i reach 3k....then sayonara........jumpa lagi tahun depan.

i will make sure my PRS finish topping by end of November, i dun like last minute topping.... cool2.gif

### normally i will making my first transaction for PRS early year (january) with 50 only.....when my acc successfully create , i wait the timing/chances...... cool2.gif
*
The PRS account must create a separate account for each Fund house? kind of thought it would just be one account..

He buy using FSM. There's a feature in FSM where you can park money inside a MMF call RHB Money market fund 2. This RHB MMF2 can be used to buy funds directly.

There no double account. Everything is under FSM.
*
oh thanks thanks, so under FSM can save effort.

Maybe should have open through FSM too lol

went direct to fund house waiting more than 2 weeks still no update.

I find that the longer we keep the fund (above 10 yrs) the return is lower per annum.    How ah?  To keep or withdraw after around 7-8 yrs?
*
You can't just see longer period going down oh no. Decide to withdraw every 7 years because of one time period you observed.

See that Asia peaked in 2018, downtrend until 2020 then picked up from 2020 to 2021. Since the last few years that you see in your cut off period are down trends and below the peak, obviously the longer trend is lower returns.

What if you saw the chart or returns from 2016 to 2018? Will your decision be to withdraw every 3 years?

does switching to conservative fund helps to lock the profit?
*
Switching means selling your current fund and buying another, so it will.

this only show the total prs with its current value. doesn't show the contribution made on the specific year to claim tax.
*
There is a table showing the contribution made in the year but it can't be downloaded as a contribution statement lol...

Btw i just realize everytime i contributed PRS via FSM one RM3000, the actual value is only RM2992, a deduction of RM8.

I remember it was only RM1 or Rm2 correct me if i am wrong.

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jan 24 2024, 05:50 PM)
As long as you contribute into a previous fund, you will be charged annual3fee if RM8.00. I think it is by PPA?
*
QUOTE(victorian @ Jan 24 2024, 06:02 PM)
It has always been RM8 annual fee.

New fund house = no charge
Existing fund house = RM8
*
RM 8 charged by PPA per existing fund house if there is PRS contribution into the fund house for the year.
First year into new fund house no fee.

That question you have to ask yourself. What do youw want with PRA? If you just want income tax relief only, buy any prs will do.

But if you want best performance than you need to search. Cause high performance may be volatile.

For me, I go with principal retire easy 50. Buy it via Fsm for zero service charge. Reason I choose principal retire easy 50 is because
1. Higher returns than EPF
2. The only 2 fund on FSM with international exposure other than AIA.The more international exposure I have, the lesser it's expose to Malaysian currency.

Keep in mind what I have may not be suitable for you as my risk tolerance is very high.
*
Why did you go with Easy 50 instead of Easy 60?
Easy 50 will sell off at least 10 years earlier than Easy 60 if understood correctly.

my pick for 2024 was Public Mutual PRS Equity, both 1-year and 5-year track record are consistent and show promise. I think highly likely i'll pick the same for 2025  smile.gif
*
how much was the fees when you bought for 2024?

heard about their prs funds but their website is just hard to navigate.

Cant find historical price movements and fees.

Cant find summary what their recent investments, only info found was the investment disclosed in their previous annual report dated March 2024.

Versa PRS is actually AHAM PRS right?
