i) scheme not skim. i guess in a simplified way, what you describe there ain't wrong.
ii) i think the fund managers call it fund category (type, category means slightly different apparently). Fixed Income Funds does not give fixed return every month. Returns are supposedly less volatile. Investors expect more return from equity funds than bond funds.
iii) some fund house (i know one of them is CIMB, not sure if CIMB is the only one) allows initial investment as low as RM500. so you can do initial lump sum but of course doing it the RSP way will bring you down the 'dollar-cost averaging' route. just pointing out your options.
Thanks for clearing my doubt on i & ii.
About iii I did some research on fundsupermart page, there's quite a number of available fund to choose from
Available List (EXCEPT: OSK-UOB Institutional Islamic Money Market Fund, CIMB-Principal Asset Management Berhad, MIDF Amanah Asset Management Berhad, and Hwang Investment Management Berhad)
Yea the 'Dollar-cost averaging' route. If correct fund, no problem. Wrong fund, big problem.
Lucky Malaysia don't practice US's FIFO rules.

Fixed Income is not really "fixed", it's just a name for fund that invests in bonds, money market and other forms of deposits.
Thanks Pink Spider. Now I understand these 'terms'.
Just registered an account on fundsupermart. Thanks for helping out guys.
