Wow, have been summoned by TS !

Have to wait until March 31st for the announcement, right ?

Oh, thanks !

Have not been active on the ASNB funds. Just holding on to what I bought late last year.

Thanks !

RHB now has promotion with 50/50 FD & ASNB fund bundle. FD 3 mth 7% and 6 mth 7.8%. Going to top up for ASG fund and place 6 mth FD at 7.8%.

Still cannot open ASM fund. New units issued ?

Still std 5%. Last year promo by RHB better, 2.5% only.

To clarify, RHB officer told me need to pay 6% GST on the 5% sales charge. Their promo Apr 1 to end of June 2015.

We have to pay the 6% on top of the 5%. So if SC RM100, then we pay add'l RM6. Total RM106 from our pocket.

No incentive like the RHB one that I mentioned ? the ".x" is the 6% GST.

50/50 FD/ASNB fund with FD 3 mth 7% or 6 mth 7.8%. Check yesterday's post's which mentioned on this.

RHB only. Banks do not show all offers on their website or may show it later. Call up RHB branch or go there to visit the branch.

I see. Surprisingly, RHB 3 mth FD 7% and 6 mth one is even higher 7.8%. Would have thought for 6 mth the FD promo rate would be lower. Anyway I have yet to sign up as my cheque just cleared today and have to do it on Monday.

In RHB to get the FD/ASNB fund 50/50 promo:

it is only meant for ASN2/3 & ASG funds, variable funds as pointed by some of the forummers.
min 20k, 10k each FD/ASNB funds

Put in for 6 mth 7.8% Went for ASG-Pend and ASG-Kesihatan. The RHB mgr said ASG-K is return 7.2%, so minus 5% SC, still gain 2.2%. Corrected him that it is NOT 7.2% ! Actually ASG-Pend return or yield % is higher than ASG-Kesihtan !

Received 2 gifts, car boot organizer & a water flask.

Nothing fanciful. Just to put at car boot to separate out items, like a big rectangular tray.

CIMB has similar offer as one forummer posted few days back but slightly lower FD rate.

2.2% is NOT accurate as it is NOT 7.2% but 7.2 cent dividend per unit.

Aiya, no boss lah. Still learning from u guys on ASNB.

ASG fund fact sheet also indicate the yield besides the dividend. The yield should be a better indicator of return than say 7.2 cent. So if one fund's price is lower, the same return of 7.2 cent will yield a better return.

I think people more focus on the how many cents of return but did not look at the yield %. But the ASNB fund fact sheet do indicate the yield %. Should be the dividend over the fund price.

I may be wrong. Please correct me if I am wrong.

u open new acct for AS1M or ASW or already has acct before this ?

lucky guy. I did not have any acct other than ASG one

Risk compared to FD is higher. FD with PIDM protection. Higher risk with higher return. My ASG bought last year still under water.

You must have very good experience going underwater or under something ?? Ha ha ha !

It is an understatement to say ASX funds have same risk as FD.

That is a separate topic. Already been doing that. Have various asset class already.

Haha, I must have been influenced by the Master. Underwater followed by understatement, under XXX ................. Master must have very unique under experience ...........................

OK,

That will be GREAT. Will queue up for it, have missed out all the fun to get it in the past. Haha !

If try to open new acct in ASNB, do they accept cheque or need to bring some cash ? I mean ASNB branch not the banks that represent them.
