when i went to check this afternoon no more for chinese only left for indians and bumi
but if i am a bumi  i would not take AS1M until i max out by ASB of 200k

Very risky....   

fuyoh which year was this dude? and was it in a bank or ASN office?

I used to know someone who offered the PNB officers some tips, for exchange they will help you to "reserve" the amount of fund you desire whenever the opportunity arises,

Please correct me if I am wrong:

All ASNB funds' (EXCEPT AS1M) dividend are tax exempted from Year Of Assessment 2006 to 2016.

AS1M's dividend is tax exempted from Year Of Assessment 2009 to 2019.

Are these conditions automatically renewed ?

Non of these PNB funds come close to Bank Rakyat's 20% dividend just annouced.

Are you sure that Bumi quota is still available ? Because earlier information suggested that all fixed price funds are fully subscribed (bumi quota).

actually i have this question in mind. lets say these funds declares millions in yearly dividend. but why the fund size never increase, and yet cannot buy new units?

when dividend is reinvested, the following year should have an increased fund size. at least the announced dividend. unless... when some people cash out and the available units are then not sold out. maybe??

haha, sure or not? i am so lucky? but i think there still got a possibility to buy in some, but is low i guess

Just wondering what should I do if I lost my 1 Malaysia Amanah Saham book?

ASD 2012 dividend rate is 6.6 sen.
Based on year 2010 & 2011 trend, ASW2020 & AS1M dividend payout most likely be around 6.6sen

Pardon if it's silly question, noob here; referin to the bond mentioned above, can we purchase it with cash account in let say maybank investment bank?

After reading the pages abt as1m, don't think it's gonna be easy in getting te accoutrements, let alone units unless keep trying every mth end or festive period, what's yr take? Thanks in advance

Hi Cheah, thanks for the tips 
Balik topic before kena warming of side track.

Hi,
I am new to bond fund, I have few doubts:

1. What is the return from Bond fund? by market price or dividend payment?

2. Bond fund is base on market price buy/sell?

3. Will the Bond fund lower than FD e.g. 4%pa?

4. When market is going to recession, is it the best time to buy Bond fund? e.g. KLCI from 1600 drop to 1400

5. Any lock in period when buy bond fund?
Thank you very much!

LOL have you even bought bonds? Bond earnings are inverse with interest rate, If interest rate goes up, bond prices falls and vice versa. You should buy bond when the interest rate is HIGH, and wait for it to fall to reap multiple earnings both from the interest and the rise of bond prices.

If you plan to hold until maturity, then the interest rate does not matter.

Yes the bonds have all risen in prices due to interest rates has been steadily declining not only in Malaysia, but in the world. If interest rates starts to shoot up, the bond value of 280k-290k will drop back to 250K or EVEN LESS if the interest rate EXCEEDS the bond coupon value. Be very very careful on this aspect.  Even if you wait until maturity you will have capital loss as the bond will pay back it's nominal-value which is 250K when launched. 

To buy bond, don't look at the bond price or the coupon value. You need to calculate the yield to maturity %.

Guys is it true max ASB for each kid below age 18 is RM50k max ?
