well.. that is a transaction cost of 0.33% + brokerage charges when selling.

bond price won't fluctuate much as those equities. For Malaysia, i think BLR will revise lower at this 4th quarter of 2013 to boost domestic expenditure.

The diff between etb & FD is u can receive your bond yield for every 6 months where FD only have to wait until maturity date.

there will be another allocation for corporate or funds, if not mistaken only 300mil is open for retailer. Minimum institutional subcripte is 5,000,000 per contact, for retailer is only 1000.
