Public Industry Fund (PIF) and Public Balanced Fund (PBF) will be re-opened for cash investments with effect from 2 May 2013 (Thursday).

For me, I don't recommend this 2 funds, PIF nor PBF due to under performing.

Yes, the reopening of these 2 funds information is via PM's UTC email.

IMO: I strongly believed PM got other better funds than PGF. Below is the PGF performance for the past 3 years.
Check it up.

Public Mutual has recently added the Public China Access Equity Fund (“PCASEF”) under its management.

PCASEF is an equity fund that has the mandate to invest in the China market. The fund will focus its investment in China A-share market.

China A-share market refers to stocks that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. These companies are incorporated in mainland China and their shares are denominated in Renminbi. China A-shares trade in a closed market and can only be purchased by domestic Chinese investors. Foreign investors who intend to invest in China A-shares have to hold the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“QFII”)License under the Strategic Investment Scheme, of which Public Mutual is a license holder.

Please be informed that units of PCASEF will only be held by funds of Public Mutual which have a mandate to invest in China shares and will not be offered to the public.

To me, it become less competitive compare to other fund houses :-(

Please be informed that the following funds will be opened for investment under the EPF-MIS with effect from 16 May 2013:-

1. Public Select Alpha-30 Fund

2. Public Islamic Select Bond Fund

U may ask a report from your servicing UTC. (since is PB series, should you go back to the PB Staff to ask for it). Best Luck!!!

Below is the example of the Public Series P/Loss Report.



Personally this PB Mixed Asset Conservative Fund is not suitable for me, I like higher risk funds. :-)

PBMAX is low risk fund [Here u go]

Yes, as long as your EPF Account 1 is fulfilled the basic criteria set up by KWSP.

However without employment, your regular EPF withdrawal in Account 1 to invest in PM fund may not sustainable for long run due to no new savings is coming in during non employment period. :-)

Generally this PISEF is performing fund. Keep for long term

May 31, 2013 Fund Distributions

Public Balanced Fund - Final - 2.50
Public Ittikal Fund - Final - 5.00
Public Islamic Equity Fund - Final - 2.00
Public Dividend Select Fund - Final - 2.00
Public Select Bond Fund - Final - 3.25
Public Islamic Select Treasures Fund - Final - 2.00

What is the most competitive S.C% to be charged in mind? Any thought?

You may review from this 3 years performance and make final decision. I have 4 of them invested.

Personally, I won't recommend PSF (Public Savings Fund). The CAGR is below my expectation. (Since commencement CAGR is only PSF 29/03/1981 7.7897%)...My minimum CAGR is at least 8% and above.

In the other hand, your relative - the servicing UTC should update you your account information via CAMS2. All unitholder's profit/loss is accessible by your existing servicing UTC. Good Luck!!

Xuzen is RIGHT !!!
