Banyak orang beli as1m nowadays..is it becoz ppl are now hungrier for yield due to escalated cost of living ?

My view is, it is simply because its return (~6%) is higher than FD (~3.6%) for more or less the same risk (except that ASX do not have PIDM guarantee).

With some effort and trying, one can get nearly twice the return. So why not?

Cheerio.

U mean there are people who earns 6%/day?

oh forex trading.. tat one high risk high return..

ASx fund kinda low risk with acceptable return 

hint: some pipu keep money in ASx as "backup" if their forex / stock trading get into big losses 

Forex = need commitment = high risk = no casual time = all time scare = always stick to stock = when win little = go for larger amount = until cannot pull out = either do or ...

ASNB ok wat.... for a salary worker la. Haha

Nobody can consistently get 6% daily without losses in between. So u can't compare this with ASx.

I think all fixed price ASx has similar calculation for dividend. Got this from

ASB Dividend
Key Points About ASB Dividend:

ASB Dividend and ASB Bonus are calculated differently and separately from one another.
Dividend is calculated on a monthly basis over the duration of the year dividend is declared. We term the monthly dividend calculation as Monthly Dividend Amount.
Total Dividend Paid for the year is the Sum of calculated Monthly Dividend Amount from Jan till Dec.
To calculate the Monthly Dividend Amount for each month, the Lowest Account Balance for each month is used.
Lowest Account Balance for a month is defined as the lowest value of your ASB account for that particular month. Let's see Example 1 to 3 below:
     Lowest Account Balance (Example 1):

On 1st Jan 2013, your account balance in ASB is RM5000
You withdraw RM1000 on the 3rd of Jan 2013
You then Redeposit RM2000 into your ASB on the 10th of Jan 2013.
What is your Lowest Account Balance for Jan 2013?
Answer is RM4000.00

     Lowest Account Balance (Example 2):

On 1st Jan 2013, your account balance in ASB is RM5000
You deposit RM1000 on the 3rd of Jan 2013
You then withdraw RM2000 from your ASB on the 10th of Jan 2013.
What is your Lowest Account Balance for Jan 2013?
Answer is RM4000.00

     Lowest Account Balance (Example 3):

On 1st Jan 2013, your account balance in ASB is RM5000

Formula for ASB Dividend Calculation:

Total Dividend Paid = sum of Monthly Dividend Amount from Jan till Dec
