Hi, guys. I'm looking at AmAsia Pacific Equity Income for my first time try out. What do you think of it?
It says in FSM that the initial sales charge is 2% and then there's annual management charge of 1.8%. So, how many % do I have to pay actually?
Also, I have had a bank trying to sell me this and they charge 4%. Does this mean I save 2% if I go through FSM?

Lastly, how much do people normally invest as a start in a sizable manner?

Thanks for your valuable feedbacks on this! smile.gif

Read Post #1 thoroughly to understand how charges (annual management fee, trustee fee) works.

Sales Charge works like this:
U pay RM100
2% SC
U will get RM100 / 1.02 = RM98.04, the difference is "commission" to the distributor i.e. FSM

Don't buy one fund only, build a portfolio of at least 3-4 funds at the very least.

U can start with RM1,000 on each fund, then slowly accumulate bit by bit monthly or every 3 months.

AmAsia Pac Equity Income is an Asia ex-Japan fund
Go get a global fund with exposure to US, Europe and Japan too (e.g. Aberdeen Islamic World Equity, OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield, Alliance Global Equities)
And a Malaysia-focused (majority invested in Malaysia with others to "spice" it up e.g. Hwang Select Opportunity, OSK-UOB Equity Trust)

If u are a newbie, try to talk to FSM's Client Investment Specialist, go FSM website and ask Live Help on how to get in touch with them. Share with us their suggestion to u, then we discuss further. wink.gif

Forgot that I must read the refresher first page - I haven't been reading since few months ago, sorry. I will do that for more info and if I do speak to the Live Help, I'll tell you what they tell me, hehe...

Btw, what's with the new avatar pic, lol...gum sexy?!
