Guys, why the hell is AmTactical Bond having a sales charge of 2% for a pure bond fund when other bond funds are having around 0.5% sales charge?

Aiya, invest in bond fund is a long term game. 0.29% drop can be temperory setback in the price of bond

Consider that as a reminder for those who assume that bond funds are safe heaven. smile.gif

what do you think of this fund ? i'd never bought any cimb fund how much is the sc via cimb clicks ?

It's more like temporary parking for me, charges is 1.5% but u get FOC switching. So if u intended to invest in bond fund only, then i'd say not worth it.
(other alternatives - ambond, if u're using cimb clicks)

Yes.

For a global bond fund like Hwang Select Bond or Asian bond fund like RHB Asian Total Return, still acceptable.

But for a Malaysian bond fund...hell no. shakehead.gif

Like I said, it depends on the purpose of having such fund, Eg if you intended to park & waiting to switch to their equities, that's fine. since their equities & bonds are all 1.5%.
