guys, recently I've been approach by few agents asking me to withdraw from EPF and invest in Public Mutual with a promise of 8% return.

is this doable? i find it hard to believe..
why would i withdraw from EPF with 6% dividen to invest in Public Mutual?

also, i thought Bank Negara made it illegal to promise percentage of return to customer?

Should be the EPF approved MIS funds.

Did they say that the 8% is guaranteed? If you can earn up to 8%, it also has chance to go the other way (-8%).

yes. correct.

i thought it's illegal to promise returns to the customers. confused.gif confused.gif

If you have the black and white of them guaranteeing 8% returns, you can post them here. Else it’s just verbal promotion tactics to entice customers to sign up for their plan.

yes. not in black and white. they just write in LinkedIn message promising 8% returns.

any of you manage to achieve 8% before?

Lol 8% is easy, some can even go up to 10-20%.

The thing is, is it guaranteed?

EPF is good is because it guarantees a minimum return of 2.5%, so it will never go below zero.

How much was your return last year if you dont mind sharing?

do you think that can be submitted to the PM office?

yes, 8% is achieveable, depends on for how long this 8% will last, and when you bought it and what fund did you bought.
but most of the time, most of the funds this 8% is not sustainable in the long run....my personal experience.....losses will happens too

Can share your experience? The good return and the bad return you've experienced in public mutual?
