ASB is special. I believe ASB will remain FP come 2016 by hook or by crook.
As for ASW, ASM, AS1M ......I don't know.

Eh..! Why tak boleh ? ASB gets 1% higher dividend + 1% extra bonus dividend also boleh. How can you equate ASB to other fixed price ASX ?

If you are worried, withdraw on 1/12.  Dump into 1 month fd first. Wait until 2/1/2016, then dump back again. But see if you are lucky or not.

The rumour about the change from fixed price to variable price is ridiculous. I work in the industry and personally have many friends working in PNB and ASNB. They wouldn't do something so drastic like that. It would be a disaster.

Okay I won't beat around the bush anymore. I work in PNB. So I can assure you the rumour is without any basis, At ALL!

ASNB manages the marketing of the funds while PNB manage the investment. I won't be able to tell you exactly what the statement means, because even I don't work in the related department. However what I know is that, PNB's bread and butter has always been the fixed price unit trust funds. Even if the world were to turn upside down, and if eventually PNB has to move away from VP funds to FP funds, it would not happen overnight. Plenty of notice would be served.

And for sure, it is not coming anytime soon. We can all think of what will happen if suddenly PNB announces that ASB would be turned to variable fund.

Massive exodus of withdrawals. And we aren't that stupid to allow that to happen.

i see, the debate still going on.......

Personal capacity. Hahaha. Actually PNB staffs can't give comments to the media, without the permission of the company. But since I can be anonymous here. So why not.  . And I'm not divulging any P&C matters anyway. And I'm just here to dispel the false rumours.

brb, buying another 2m worth of ASx

kecian my asg, hopefully i wont see newspaper pipul 14th floor everywhere.

ur one how ar. fixed and variable one all cash out? 

so when is asw2020 dividend announcement?

I switch to 70:30 out-70

Folks,

This is for people that do not understand how RM drop affect fixed price ASx.  And, they still dump money into ASx.

1) Most of your savings are in EPF and they are invested in GLC and Malaysia Government's Bond.  Now, you put money into ASx, you are putting all eggs in ONE basket.  For bumi, due to political reason, it is SAFE for them to invest in ASB.  For non-bumi, if anything went wrong, your ASx will be used to bail out ASB.

2) With RM crashing down, how does the fixed price ASx help you?? The depreciation of RM will wipe out any dividend that you get.

3) KLSE is crashing down.  ASx is invested in GLC and MGS.  So, how can it be fixed at RM1?? There is a buffer.  So, whoever withdraw and can be paid out at RM1 will have the money.  So, what happened when the buffer run out and the ASx need to sell the actual share that had went down??

Do not put all your eggs in ONE basket.  This problem is not going to be fixed any time.  Oil price is not coming back up any time soon.

Not whole Malaysia using TNB. And ASTRO and TM are doing not so good considering a lot of their debts and costs are in USD.

Having said that, I still have faith ASX will remain as FP and still give out competitive dividend

As for Astro and TM, my point isn't whether the majority subscribe to these services or not. My point is these companies are not doing well lately because of the depreciating ringgit. Astro has to pay content owners aka all the channels in USD but their revenue is in ringgit. Same goes to TM. Their equipment are bought in USD but revenue in ringgit. I hope you get the point

time for asg? 

I got a question here, just now I parked rm10k into my as1m, via maybank2u. The transfer is successful. Meaning that the rm10,000 already gone into my as1m account or its subjected to approval depending on the quota available?

Is there a chart for those VP ASx?
