Congrat on the successful transfer
I have done simple calculation for EPF n AS1M
The average past 3 yrs return for EPF:AS1M is 5.98%:6.49%
The diff is 0.51%pa
For every RM10k investments, u will get additional RM51pa or RM4.25pm
Mind to share wat makes u decide to transfer from EPF to AS1M?

epf return is quite unstable, if you look at the historical return rate from 2000 to 2012. it can fluctuate to as low as 4.25%.

Another disappointment for the non-bumi again..

A bonus for the bumi, but frustration for the non-bumi..

Not fair... 

simple..AS1M div return more stable..
it's 0% charge...no charge at all...
people here complaining of the difficulty to invest in ASNB product...after seeing this, maybe the bumi quota will be full sooner rather than later...

by doing this, i will have my own cash in AS1M when i reach 55...

{For every RM10k investments, u will get additional RM51pa or RM4.25pm}

So, i will get additional rm200...  

too much hassle.

based on this info http://www.kwsp.gov.my/portal/documents/10..._2013__Eng_.pdf

i'd only be able to invest rm 10 - 12k.

i have small EPF savings.

Look on the bright side. This unfair practice will push us  to be more financial savvy instead of being spoonfed. It forces us to look for alternative investment and this learning experience is invaluable. This happen in the biz environment too where we still thrive despite of the many obstacles. Same thing happens in the Property market where we dont enjoy any discount and yet we invested in properties which has shot up in price and these properties can be traded without restriction because they are non-bumi lots. We thrive on frustration, disappointment, deprivation, discrimination and suppression and grow stronger.

Agreed. However, this doesn't apply to the poor and the needy non-bumis. Really pity them..... 

from btimes:
Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) has announced a 6.7 sen income distribution for its Amanah Saham 1Malaysia for financial year ended September 2013.

The state-owned fund manager paid an income distribution of 6.6 sen last year.

PNB chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said the 6.7 sen is the highest paid by the country's largest fund manager since its introduction four years ago.

"The income distribution involves a payout of RM593.0 million which is a 30 per cent increase compared to RM453.03 million last year to 365,355 unitholders which collectively own 9.2 billion units," Ahmad Sarji told reporters at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday while unveiling the income distribution results.

Hi, Im new to this.  How to buy Amanah Saham?

I thought it was offered to BUMI only.

The return is way better than FD and savings plan.

Where to buy and how to buy?

First page is too messy.

im non bumi. Meaning I cant buy already?

TAKEN from FreeMT:
PNB chairman Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said in his speech at the announcement of the income distribution that as of Sept 16, 2013, AS1M has recorded a gross income of RM723.93 million, with profit from sale of shares accounting for RM405.99 million or 56.1% while RM128.15 million or 17.7% was derived from investments in short-term instruments and other income.

“Based on the reserve, we could pay more than eight sen per unit and right now, after the payout, we still have RM150 million yet to be distributed,” said Hamad Kama Piah in response to a question about the amount of reserve kept aside from AS1M earnings.

Wonder what is the accumulated reserve from the previous 3 years.

So total accumulated reserve would be RM 300mil.

2 billion!

that's RM134 million in dividend if i can takeup all 2 billions if i had that much money 

not all bumi ada $$ mau beli lor.. at 1st i asked my wife to open the acct, then later found out that i also can open asb..
so my wife AS1M now sleeping with RM100 inside. already offer to my parents but they yet to reply.
