Extract from ASNB latest master prospectus for ASW2020:-

Approved fund size : 16.615 bil units
In circulation : 15.85 bil unit

Assume they declare 6.80% dividend, a total of 1.07 bil units must be issue
Add to existing in circulation = 16.9278 bil units, alredy exceeds approved fund size

Did ASNB announce d increase in approved fund size for ASW2020?
Otherwise they need to declare 4.82% dividend in order not to xceed approved fund size

I understand right now no new investment is allow (even though RM1.00)
But my Question is not answer yet

You can go personally to PM or ASNB branch all over Malaysia to "try & error", just forget about the online thing because it already stated in their website the fund is fully subscribe (as lucifah told "only AS1M and ASB are available from the dropdown menu")

p/s: if you read previous pages post, got people managed to get ASW & AS1M units (non-bumi).

wa..., cant believe you have managed to get ASW, can you teach what method you have used? just go ASNB? how many time you go?

don't tell to people, then they "sapu all" at PM or ASNB branch 

Just joking 

what i mean is for those people dont have passbook, he managed to get new issue, no top up.

Looks like we can xpect min 6.80% or higher 

What sort of feeling, sixth sense?

meanwhile ASB is immune to political turmoils...

2011  7.65  1.15  8.80
2012  7.75  1.15  8.90

So they "upgrading & changing" the ASG passbook & account, just like previous ASN3. They change the ASN3 passbook & gave new account number for all unit-holders.

I can't remember how long, maybe few months 

Amanah Mutual launches 2 funds worth RM550m

Amanah Mutual Bhd (AMB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), which in turn is a wholly-owned unit of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), launched its multi-class series of AMB Value Trust Fund (AMBVTF) and AMB Dana Arif (AMBDA) worth RM550 million.

The launch of AMBVTF involved two multi-class series in US dollar-denominated for retail investor (AMBVTF B-USD) as well as institutional investor (AMBVTF C-USD) and one multi-class in ringgit for corporate institution (AMBVTF C-MYR).

AMBDA also launched one multi-class in ringgit-denominated for institutional investors (AMBDA C-MYR).

"These four multi-class series can be subscribed by Malaysians as well as foreigners residing in Malaysia," said PNB chairman cum AMB chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid.

"The multi-class is an innovative structure that gives AMB the flexibility to design funds that better meet the varying needs and preferences of different investors, in terms of the fees and charges imposed, the currency in which it is denominated, the distribution policy and simultaneously helps to broaden market reach," he told reporters after launching the funds here today.

The classes introduced can be denominated in different currencies, therefore investors holding foreign currencies can now invest directly in a class of units denominated in that foreign currency without first having to convert their funds into ringgit.

AMBVTF is a capital growth fund launched in 2003 and its objective is to provide investors with capital growth through investments in securities while minimising the risk in the medium to long term.

AMBVTF provides investors with an alternative approach when investing in equity markets.

Meanwhile, AMBDA is a bond fund launched in 2004 with the objective of providing a steady appreciation of the net asset value with a regular flow of income to investors through investments in debt securities that are permissible under syariah principles.

I can't say much.

If you really want the answer, do e-mail ASNB for clarification.  If you get a proper explanation, do please post here for everyone reference 

When as1m open for subscription, a lot of people have doubt. Some people spreading negative rumour about the fund. The "famous" one is the 4% p.a dividend rate   

Agreed
Anyway lets hope they declare 7.16% (additional 0.56% as compared to 6.60% in Yr 2012) to coincide with d 56th Merdeka celebration

Of coz I read
Very informative
I'm a subscriber of Chinese proverb : "Chan King Yoong Yow"

The person / parties spreading the rumour are the one putting more money there (bcoz wanna eliminate competition for the available units) 

There's risk in every investment, the only difference is how much / high
