Yes, I see your point. But I share the same belief with one wise apek that prefers company that sells consumer staples with strong brand names As long as that company is able to sustain its economic moat, that wise apek prefers to hold on to it forever. I think Nestle is one example of that sort of company in Bolehland. I expect the profit/upside potential of this stock is more than that can be offered by ASx; even if it's only on paper.

With ASx (especially the fixed-price fund), either market bloom or doom, the RM1 is always there. We wouldn't know the exact figure when the economy is good or bad because PNB controls the the price (maybe to enable the funds to have adequate amount of units to accommodate mass withdrawal during crash periods). As a result of that, depositors will receive average returns.

I'd love to associate myself with Nestle for some pleasant & respectable return, and will still hold on to ASx for some moderate & acceptable income. Either way, I find it comfortable to invest and grow my money

The main core reason that why ASNB stop introducing fixed price fund. I come across that IF, all the funds under PNB is variable funds, will they perform better? Or worse? Or real excellent that providing > 7% pa. Because we know that they ALWAYS reserve some % to overcoming bad years.

you're not alone. a lot of people I know do shares trading (for more profit but with higher risk) & also invest in ASNB fund for their low risk stable income.. u get best of both worlds 

Only problem now is lack of new units for the fixed price ASx fund 

We may have a clue of the actual fixed-price funds' return rate if the PNB president keeps revealing the precise income distributions for unit holders. For this year, PNB has the capasity to distribute 8.4 sen for AS1M (but distributed 6.6 sen) & 9.3 sen for ASW (but distributed 6.6 sen). I can't remember/find the figure for ASM, maybe someone else can try to dig it out.

If PNB is willing to disclose the exact amount to public on annual basis, then we can trace the real return rate & serve as a good indication versus other investment intruments. Thereupon, we will know ASx can perform & provide better or worse return rate than others.

Can share share your investment portfolio?

Currently what stock or ASx fund are you holding?

PNB can pay up to 8.8sen for ASM, but they pay 6.6sen only
