QUOTE(Pink Spider @ Apr 15 2013, 09:46 PM) Annual Expense Ratio = Thanks for the explanation.Fund expenses / Average Fund Net Asset Value x 100% E.g. Average fund NAV during the year: RM100m Auditor's remuneration: RM50K Tax agent fees: RM20K Trustee fees: RM70K Management fees: RM1m Miscellaneous administrative expenses: RM5K AER = (RM50K + RM20K + RM70K + RM1m + RM5K) / RM100m = 1.15% If 2.26% is deemed high, what is the typical normal AER which is considered reasonable? |

Guys, what do you think of the investment using EPF money to buy unit trust? The thing is money in EPF will generate typically around 5-6%, lower than previous norm of around 7-8%. As the pool of "fund" grows bigger in EPF, it is harder to make certain return year in year out. Hence, would it be better to put them in unit trust? But on the other hand, when buying unit trust, before even making money, one has to pay commission charges first..

QUOTE(mikey5925 @ Jun 13 2013, 11:24 AM) Making money from Unit Trust also depends on the timing of your entry. You have to do some study on the performance of each of the unit trust funds after consulting the unit trust salesperson. They will normally recommend some funds that are historically making good returns. You need at least 5 years to see the returns. It's true. The unit trust sales said, after the units are bought, more or less have to park there for few years.For my case, I invested in 2005 using EPF money in Public Equity Fund and it gave me a returns of 80% when I redeemed at the start of 2013. In 2008, the investment was actually losing money when the world market crashed but somehow it recovered after that, for a gain of 80%. So, there is still risk in unit trust investment. Well since those money cannot be withdrawn out until one retires, i guess that's probably the best thing to do. |
