I'm not a fan of any mutual funds, but I would prefer FSM over PM. PM's charges are way too high and not justified at all.
Also, biggest don't mean a thing.

PM "Bashing" continues

i guess the response posted earlier in page# 11, post# 208 is appropriate

I like those funds that provide insurance coverage..

Public Mutual has expanded its network nationwide with the opening of its 29th branch in Bandar Puteri Puchong, Selangor on Monday.

It said this branch, which is at 39 & 41, Jalan Puteri 1/4, Bandar Puteri Puchong, would enhance its facilities to meet the changing needs of its investors and unit trust consultants.

The Puchong branch is open Mondays to Fridays from 8.30am to 5.30pm and can be reached via phone at 03-8065 7888 or fax at 03-8065 3010.

Hey guys, can I seek for some advise here?
I am thinking about to invest my savings in Public Mutual and someone suggest me to go for PAVGEF. However, I wonder is this a good time to invest, as many statistics expect unit trust to slow down in next few years. I will be greatly appreciate if someone provide some advise on it. Many thanks.

looks like you had asked in earlier post too....
this PAVGEF is a new fund.....
is this the only fund that you wanted to own?
this is a 75% single country focused fund
would suggest you form a portfolio of funds
would suggest you seek out some management performance data of "older" funds from morning star to see if you like them or not.
get the help of your UTC...they are there to guide you with your requirements and risk profile

finally go with your instinct.....as there are some advise in page# 11 abt
their own opinion...
their own monies....

yes, I post something before.
Can you recommend someone to assist me in forming my portfolio??
Of course, I will just buy from him also.

1. Who is that "someone"? Is he/she an agent? Or fellow investor?
2. Why Public Mutual? Why not Fundsupermart, eUnit Trust, or CIMB Clicks eInvest?

sorry, i hv no recommendation.
for i did not buy UTs from PM.......you have an agent/UTC for PM funds that you wanted to buy?

Just some general pointers:

Try to avoid new fund unless it is for tactical reason.

Look for funds that have a long track record that have superior peer-to peer risk-adjusted return.

For those believer in Modern Portfolio Theory; when I was a Public Mutual Agent, not many know, Pub-Mut has very good internal data which to enabled me to calculate the Modigliani Ratio. (Not many fund house in Malaysia has those kind of data)

It was awesome, to be able to select those funds that are able to out-perform its benchmark and peer all the time.

Xuzen

While I also agree with Xuzen's opinion on the historical data, I also agree with the introduction of new fund because of three things

a. better entrance fee (imho, pavgef & piavgef is not that cheap - can be considered identical if you picked other fund except if purchase 10k and above)
b. The old fund have technically sold out, or the fund will be too big and will not so flexible anymore. The comparable fund still open for purchase, so no issue on this.
c. improvement over the evolvement of the market, maybe a tweak from the old formula. Simply put when you invest in UT, disadvantage is that the purchase of stocks for example is not your call anymore, its the fund manager's job. But fund manager also should all the time abide to their set of formula for handsome return - which is reflected in the "Deeds". Certain situation they can't go against their will because of the deeds. You might say deeds maybe a good thing or a bad thing, two side of a coin i would say.

For the same historical, the PM style maybe you should see similarity of PGF, PAGF, POGF&PIOGF, PIA40GF, PSTGF. POGF historically gives return of 59% in 5y, 25% in 3y.

enough mumbling, uniqueness of this new fund is country diversification, 75% in MY and the rest Far East, Asean, Europe and USA.Risk level 4. If you consider its benchmark, PIAVGEF performance is more attractive. But if you consider actual result based on historical, PM understand to operate PAVGEF is better.

This is a good time for fund manager to collect good stocks at below valuation. They believe in holding the price.

Btw, have a look at PSTEF too. Offer period ended, but quite new fund too.

why is that so in your opinion?

OK, pls exclude that. It's an equity fund BTW.

Hey guys, anyone got info on work life at Public Mutual? In the investment team not unit trust consultants etc
