Hi,

I've confirmed that my MGQP for each equity fund is not equivalent to the amount i invested/switch over. As per my previous example, i switch over 7k worth of PFES to PFSF but my MGQP is 9k plus. I wonder why.

First, to get an idea what funds are EPF approved, take a look into the Public Mutual website... look into the fund prices, select "EPF" to narrow down the long list of funds... then look into the performance chart for that fund....

Anyway, the top 3 EPF-approved funds in Public Mutual in 2012:
1) Public Islamic Select Enterprises Fund (17.6%)
2) Public Focus Select Fund (16.7%)
3) Public Islamic Dividend Fund (16.5%)

(with corrections: Public Focus Select Fund is number 2... and pushes Public Islamic Equity Fund to 4th place.)
The top 3 local PM funds in 2012:
1) Public Islamic Select Enterprises Fund (17.6%)
2) Public Islamic Opportunities Fund (16.7%)
3) Public Focus Select Fund (16.7%)

The top 3 foreign PM funds in 2012:
1) Public Far-East Property & Resorts Fund (27.4%)
2) Public Singapore Equity Fund (19.3%)
3) Public South-East Asia Select Fund (16.6%)

All of them were above 15% for the year; with PFEPRF above 25%.

Now the big question: which fund will best perform in 2013?

Added on January 2, 2013, 5:14 pmThe top 5 PB series in 2012 (% from 1/1/12 to 28/12/12 or 31/12/12)
1) PB Singapore Advantage-30 Equity Fund (22.0%)
2) PB Asean Dividend Fund (21.3%)
3) PB Asia Real Estate Income Fund (18.7%)
4) PB Islamic Equity Fund (16.5%)
5) PB Islamic Asia Strategic Sector Fund (14.4%)

From the performance chart... http://www.publicmutual.com.my/application...formancenw.aspx
and a bit of work... select date range from 1/1/12 to 31/12/12... go through the whole list of funds... and tabulate them.

Could also do a table on monthly, and quarterly increments... instead of waiting for out-dated reports...  hopefully can see patterns showing which fund will go up or down LOL.

anyone here invest without going through agent?

Thanks for the input. Any suggestion what bond fund (shariah compliance) is good to start now? 

And, if i'm gonna open 1 epf fund, can u suggest what type it shud be? i mean, bond or equity or etc.

PEBF and PIEBF minimum investment 100K?

wow... why they want to increase the limit until so high? This will get them less sales...

want to ask,
the minimum amount that need to be in account must more that 1k or can less?
cos i read from somewhere state that if the account value lower that 1k, the account will be close..

1k unit or rm 1k minimum?
thanks

my account only have 1 fund,
after i repurchase, the total value of fund less that rm 1k,
will my account close down or ?

Hi guys, any good equity fund to recommend except PIX (as I just switched it to PSBF)?

PFSF = Public Focus Select Fund?

Yes, I switched to PSBF from PIX which is previously from my EPF.

This new fund's proposed portfolio is like Public enhanced bond where 70% in Fixed income, 30% equity. But then Public enhanced bond fund's initial service charge is only 0.25%, compared to this newly launched fund charging 5.5%. Another overcharged service charge fund from PM/PB.

PEBF need 100K to invest meh? Cannot be lar...

Looks like a lot of rich people in Malaysia...

Far-East... but looking into its year-end report, it is in sing, mal, indo & thai.

It seems that I am not receiving any financial year-end reports lately by mail (since July?)... did PM stop it? The e-reports in their website is no good - they don't have the last few pages showing the list of invested companies unlike their 'booklet' report by mail.

No, I was referring to the year-end financial statements - this is the link http://www.publicmutual.com.my/OurProducts...EquityFund.aspx

I used to get them by snail mail or post... also the half year interim reports... got a whole stack of these booklets, which is in 3 languages... and at the last several pages as notes to the financial statements, the whole long list of companies/securities/warrants, etc. invested with details of cost, market value & percentage of the entire fund.

The financial statements in their website is missing these notes showing this long list of companies...
