I'm thinking to change to equity fund by other fund house- either Hwang or kenanga. I have enough bond funds already

Wise to redeem all of PITTIKAL? Or should keep some?

i was once (last year) told by my PM agent that i can only buy PB fund from P bank.
i did not confirm this...may be he does not want me to buy PB fund

I can confirm it... PB series can only be bought via Public Bank. (For the Public series, it's done via Public Mutual branches, or their agents. But both can be bought online... except for EPF, as you need to submit a form with your thumb-prints through the agent.)

It should also be noted that you can only switch funds within its series, ie. you cannot switch from a PB fund to a Public fund. A bit of forethought is needed in planning how to split your monies if you intend to have a portfolio consisting of both PB and Public funds.

BTW, PB funds are slightly more conservative, while Public funds tend to be more aggressive when comparing similar funds.

Nope . To them we small time investors are ikan bilis. Don like it,don invest...
Anyways I'm stopping ddi  bonds. Good bye pmutual and all the best in sucking from others

are you sure you put blank or choose public bank then you wont get charge for upfront sales charge?
btw doing DDI with bond fund is not a right technique..because bond fund not fluctuate like equity fund..only those fund with some degree of volatility can see the power of DCA.

just my 2cents..

Public China Select Mutual fund is a shit fund, until now still no dividend.

I am assuming that you meant that you filled in some forms with your agent on 10/3. If I'm wrong, just ignore my reply.

Most likely the application is still under process ie. left dangling somewhere at the branch office. Why? Maybe your agent did not know about the "new" rule (which was in placed months ago) that investor need to fill in another questionnaire on investor's suitability to a new fund.

The entire process should not take more than a week if done correctly. If I'm not mistaken, the application form to EPF is scanned when it is handed over the counter at the branch office; and it is checked by software. Any errors is immediately known, and the form handed back to the agent.

If everything is correctly done, and handed over the counter before 4.00pm, the transaction will be on that day's NAV price even though EPF released the money to Public Mutual several days later.

Maybe call your agent first.

photocopy of nric + kp12 + your signature+ and your set of thumbprints. that about it...

Imagine this:

With a phonecall, within 30 mins an immaculately dressed man, fully groomed appears from his Mazda Six. His loafers are from Kings, his timepiece, a gleaming Rolex Datejust perpetual, platinum no less, his jacket from Zegna.

He walks over confidently to you, forms all readily filled with all your particulars, with neat and tidy handwriting, from his PA of course. He comes closer, hands you his Le Grande Meisterstruck and you sign on the doted line.

Your transaction is now completed. He gives you a mega-watt smile. Waves like a royalty. And he is gone.

<<I want to add something in here>>

Compared this with FSM... semua lu buat sendiri lar... isi borang, hantar borang, salah tulis, borang tak boleh process, transaksi pending... and pending and pending....
