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%).

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?

Sorry I don’t invest in mutual funds using EPF monies.

I’m just sharing from a mutual fund perspective.

Oops sorry.wat i mean is they can never guarantee a fixed return.if 2.5% i would suggest to put into money market.no charge and it is as good as putting in fd

Lol you are talking as if EPF has ever given out 2.5% interest.

Do you even know what is minimum 2.5% guaranteed interest?

You are derailing so hard from the original discussion

I means he’s seriously comparing the minimum guaranteed rate of EPF vs putting it in FD.

Really...
