Question: Early last year I make a loan for RM50k to invest in ASB. The dividend last year is 7%. I just needed to know is ASB and mutual funds like Public Bank offering is better? I don't know the different between those 2..

ASM to release further units for purchase on 21 July

Good news?

I need to buy fast fast...

I like your question...Haha....Good news ah?

Either our government really short of money....

Or $11.5 billion will be the figure required to move KLCI to 1200...Haha

lol... take ur money and give u back in terms of dividend..
then use some to support stock market, fund stimulus packages, fiscal deficits long list...

gov really desperate.. if not they wont be offering ASM twice this year, and new fund AS1M also coming..
I lost to uncles and aunties in April.. haha this time i will go camp early in the morning and avoid MBB, go post office coz it opens earlier..
i wonder if ASW2020 will come round 2...
on the other hand.. it also shows that rakyat still got cash reserves..
just my opinion

may i kindly ask when will the nexst ones be launch?...

anyone have any idea on it??..

AS1M still no details yet.

Hmmm thinking of queuing for ASM as well... 20k each and 1.5 bil units means if 75k people around the country max their investment, I think before 7 days surely habis.

Yes i agree...I think day 1 kao tim already...

Are they still gonna maintain the 50:30:15:5 quota for the Jul 21 round of ASM?

are you guys sure that you wanna dump RM20k into ASM?because imho there are other pretty attractive asset
classes to invest into eg stocks..

No harm done, anyway it's proven getting a good return! Unless those plp who got experience in investing other instruments.

Better don't buy at post office. It's quite dangerous to bring cash and que early morning. Post offices only accept cash.

For me, it is just the other way round. Better buy at post office I would say. I can buy it within 1 hour max there (assuming that I am late). If I go to bank I need to wait for few hours max & even end up being told that all funds are finished (assuming that I wake up 5am & I am the 2nd one in the long queue).

Well, that is during peak time, e.g. when newly launched.

Cheers,

I'm new to ASM/ASW.
I want to understand why the rush to snap up the units.

If the return of ASW/ASM is less than 9%, then why not people but REITs? Can easily earn 9% return.

Is the income from ASW/ASM tax exempted?

Is the income distributed in cash, or units?

For Malaysian REITs, they provide a yield of 8% or more, depending on the performance of the respective counter. However, the principal is determined by the public market. I bought Atrium REIT at about RM1.00 2 years ago, and they gave me a yearly dividend of about 9%. But the share price has slumped to RM0.70++. I make a loss on paper, and I have no choice but still hold the share.

Tax exempted.
Unit; if unit finished, cash. Anyway, unit = cash.

20,000 units per account from 21st July until 27th July, and unlimited after that.

Time to start camping in front of the post office already.

It should not be a problem if you only bring a few grand. But if you wanna buy the max 20k, queing up early in the morning in front of post office is indeed very dangerous. Unless you go to small town where there are less customers. Further, there is no security guard in most of the post office.

It's only 16th today. Too early to camp!
