Wong Seafood,

Any recommendations for EPF-compliant funds?

I've been looking at Hwang Select Opportunity, OSK-UOB Emerging Opportunity Unit Trust and OSK-UOB KidSave Trust.

er... i've not looked around much at EPF-compliant funds wor.
Still plodding with PIX, PSSF, PAGF from Pub Mut - coz my EPF siphoned off to Pub Mut's PSBF waaay earlier.
These days... direct into stocks hehe
Thus methinks U da man for EPF mutual funds neh

Methinks I ngam ngam meet the min. requirement for Akaun 1 withdrawal for direct stock purchase jor

But 10K, max only can buy 3-4 stocks
CIMB ETF?

IM blur blur pink spider, since when we can withdraw epf account 1 for buying stock directly?
or you juz joking

thanks your tips . Your statement very misleading taking epf account 1 buying stock.

Already hv with PM.

What, did u read the link?

1. U transfer $$$ from EPF A/C 1 to stockbroker trust account
2. U can buy/sell ANY Bursa-listed stocks that u want
3. U cannot take out the $$$, it will go back to EPF A/C 1 when u decided that u don't wanna trade anymore

Different from PM la

have you done so taking your epf investing in stock using this mechanism ?

My EPF A/C 1 excess barely 10K. Under this scheme, min. amount is 25K

better you & me let epf invest and give yearly dividend.....

Felix, u did not invest your EPF money in UTs?

have Public Mutual - Public Regular Saving bought during 2008/2009 economic crisis. Now standing profit 30% to 40% profit.


No rush buying stock or UT juz scare no money when come to opportunity.

er.. bro, need only $8K initial withdrawal to start the a/c with Amera neh.
And yes, ETFs, REITs, PBBank, etc - to your previous Q on what to buy

Hell, make $ off PubMut's, CWA's, etc profits mar

So, the link posted which states min. 25K is outdated info?

$25K was with Phillips Mutuals - oooooold one
My initial probing into "self-directed" investments via EPF during early-mid 2000s.

Your link - unsure why Amara is $25K, i was told $8K when i started last year

ah i see, thks for the clarification, better i hold on then.

Interesting...I shall ask my broker later

What else can investors look into to minimize the very painful upfront sales charge load for funds not listed in FSM? I'm assuming that we need to go back to the respective agents to get a dib of these funds

E.g. Public Mutual Funds must be purchased from Public Mutual, CIMB Dali from CWA since they are not listed on FSM.
