Before 1 August 2016, I can safely conclude that none of the EPF MIS investment into public mutual funds in the past 5 years exceeded EPF's own returns. This is not even taking the sales charge into consideration
From 1 August 2016 however, more funds are approved as MIS investments and therefore the conclusion may be different. So I've been telling people to either
1) don't use EPF investments to invest in Public Mutual; or
2) switch funds into the higher returns ones - Public Small Cap and PIOF which historically have done better, and pray that it would exceed EPF returns
opening up, i am a agent public mutual, but i do very much different from other agent they are doing.
first thing first in public mutual those fund manager are very conservative, to add on depend which fund are you buying.
ask back your agent should I go for 100% equity? they will tell you unit accumulation , this and that. ended up epf 3% service charge or 5.5 % service charge. like this sure die very fast for the investor and make the unit trust consultant happy only.
for me most of the time i am doing a range 70% in bond which up to date giving around 5.15% from jan to August, then 30% equity. with this I am very comfortable my client will able to cover their service charge very fast. which good amount of bullet when come to a roller coaster ride.
type of equity i love most now is mix assets, up to jan to august giving about 7% but for cash only. inside the mix assets has about 50+% in bond and the rest you guess. consistence return from last year about 11%

Hi all, looks like last few reply Macam not so good
So got EPF sitting here, not recommend to invest?
well i have a lot of big client who dont mind to loose about 1 to 2 % year from epf, they are waiting for opportunity while they transfer from their epf to unit trust in bond , of of small percentage of equity. market we cannot predict, but we can take precaution
