How much usually the service fee through agent? 4%, 6%? I mean generally if I invest a lump sum amount via unit trust agent.

Regular charges run from 5.5% up to 6.28% if you're using an agent.

If your lump sum is above 500K, and low transaction volume, we can go down to 1.5%.
For large sum and high transaction volume, we have an alternative pricing structure.

5.5% ~ 6.28% of the invested lumpsum?

Means if I invest rm100K, then the fee ranges from rm5,500 ~ rm6,280, right?

Yes, that's correct. Which is why larger volume investors will opt for an alternative pricing model, or invest in structured investment products instead.

Thanks for the info.

Sorry, forgot to mention that 5.5-6.28% is for equity/balanced/allocation funds. For fixed income its usually 2-3%, and money markets are 0%.

hmm.gif any idea what is the MARC rating on this paper?

If I'm not mistaken the instrument is a 5 year MTN structured by Areca Capital. As far as I know its unrated.

The underlying is a property development investment shared between Sepang Gold Coast (or something like that) and the Selangor state govt. The total amount they are wanting to raise is RM25m. They are being sold in blocks of RM50K/100K.

Seeing that the amount being raised is relatively small, and the funds can be easily obtained through a collateralized business loan, a 10% yield seems unusually high.

Caveat emptor.

hi guys,
this is my scenario:

i have biz that requires me to use my capital for only 1 or 2 weeks per month
the rest of the days i just put the money into my company's current account

do i have better option on where to place the fund while i'm not using it?
your opinion is highly appreciated

Depending on the amount and the TAT you require, you you can have a look at :
1. Overnight deposits,
2. Short term money deposits,
3. Cash management funds,
4. Money market funds.

How does the returns differ for each type?
I assume overnight deposits is sweeping arrangement that zero effort is needed to decide how much cash flow I'd need and therefore how much I can place for how long. Would the return be much lower than say 7 days time deposit?
Btw, we r very out of topic 😜

Yeah, that would be a correct assumption. Just call in before 10am if you need the funds today.

1. Overnight deposits - T+0 - 3.2%
2. Short term money deposits - 1 Week - 3.3%, 2 Weeks - 3.4%, 1 Month 3.6%
3. Cash management funds - T+0 - <3.2%.
4. Money market funds - T+2 - 3.4-3.9%.

Not OT, MMFs are still UT funds .. tongue.gif tongue.gif
