where can i purchase ASB or ASW? through bank?
and as someone mentioned earlier, it has been sold out.
when will it be available again?

You can get it via selected bank and post office. Only bumi share is available. Non bumi quota is all taken up and nobody knows when it will be available again.

asb is always available,the only limit that they impose is the individual limit which is 0.5 million ringgit

just wanna shared with u some knowledge about saving and investment
1. In the bank as a saving account or even fixed deposit.. in average returns you wil get around 3-4% (depend on the number of month) interest/profit - NO RISK
2. in ASB and enjoy deviden like 7-8% per year (A bonus 2.25% is meant for those whom save more than 10 years) - NO RISKS
3. in Tabung Haji yet get like 4-5% dividen - NO RISKS
4. in Bank Rakyat (15% dividen for the last 7 years) too bad it is not longer available. - NO RISK
5. in EPF (compulsory) and get dividen 4-5% per year - NO RISK
6. to your friends..let him do some business.. RISK? Yeap.
------1. You will lose the money due to no profit, thus
------2. Lost a friend
7. in share market and get profit in short term...but you have to daily monitor the share...RISK or you might to CONSIDER take some moderate risk by saving in unit trust and enjoy like 8-12% profit per year.


btw, doremon which mutual fund you had invested before?

If I recall correctly, the limit is RM200k only.

I prefer to take advantage of this limit first, then with RM200k safe, you can use the excess in risky investment like stocks etc. Even if you lose all in stock you might be able to sleep better at night if you still have RM200k secured nicely so you won't have to think of not having to eat for the day...

what is a unit trust?...hehe..sorry for the newbish question, as i only invest in asb so far....Does it have any minimum amount of investment or anything like that?

vergas,the limit has increased to RM500000,i think it has been 3-4 years...with this limit

unit trust is same as asb, asn n stuffs, its a mutual fund.

I think you are right.

" "We subsequently abolished the limit for our seven unit trust schemes except for Amanah Saham Bumiputra where the limit is 200,000 per buyer. "
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...3892&sec=nation

Basically the limit is RM200K since the subscription price is RM1...

Hmm well perhaps yes and no. Yes in the sense that both are funds and that they both invest in stocks and bonds. No in the sense that ASB, ASN, etc are run by PNB - which is the government investment arm, so they are very conservative. Public Mutual is not any less careful, but they are privately run so have more "room" to operate (both upside and down). Just my 2 cents...

Regardless if you are Bumi or Non-Bumi if you haven't decide on long term investment, place it at any PNB product. At least you will get some return from your hard earn cash.

The another advantage is it is pure liquid investment, where at any time you can withdraw you cash without losing the principal not like another investment product.

Are there worth it?

As a Banker I say definitly say YES!

no need to think hard.. put all yr money in ASB.

where can I get info for ASB,ASM...etc can't find the link in pnb.com.my also is there age limit for ASM? thanks

Sorry bro for the late reply. Mutual fund i don't there to get my head involve because i don't totally understand what is all about. Personally i think is totally pointless to get agent to manage our money. God knows what the heck they doing with it. Coming to the year end. Can't wait to see how much this year dividen for both account ASB & ASW. WHat happen to ASN. Heard people say it's totally useless?

just curious initially if i invest RM1000 in ASW
when i want to sell all my units
how do i calculate ?
is it still RM1k OR
based on market price 1k*RM0.60 per unit

Strange, the person who you replying did not mention Public Mutual at all. Please read the statement carefully before you answering that. It's with 100% agree that, ASB, ASN are in mutual fund category. Just the fund managers are different.

Thing is, if with Amanah Saham stuff being mentioned. Its units are selling like hot cake. If me got the chance, i would put all my $$$ to it too.


It counting on how many units you need to redeem. Since what you got is the number of units held, no longer the amount you invested. Since you wanna sell your units. To the fund manager, they repurchase from you. Hence, based on buying price listed(or to be more exact, the NAV. As both normally are the same).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

18 more days for ASB & ASW2020 dividen to be culculate

ASW is a fixed price fund at RM1.00 each, so there is no published NAV as other variable pricing unit trust.

Go to Maybank or CIMB bank and ask for Amanah Saham Nasional Master Prospectus. ASM age limit is 18+, or a guardian for those above 6 months.

@doraemon, yes, I'm waiting for the dividend as well, what's the % you are expecting?

Hi mate, means no matter how, won't lost money in ASW?! By the way, you are talking about the unit holder selling or buying now?! And, how is the calculation(for both cases of selling and buying processes) like if according to what you mentioned?
