hi how everybody doing i am a new member

Recommend Public Mutual's South East Asia Select Fund. High risk with good returns. 70% to 90% will be invested in SEA's markets.

A short term investment while the regional markets are good.

Like that better go into PCSF. It's more aggressive than PSEASF.

Don't just recommend la, say what you think is so good about it la..
Are you sure regional markets are good for short term..?
This fund is meant for long term..
SEA markets are only good for long term..

maybe he would be satisfied with a return of around say 15% within 6 months and he offloads it who knows?

Well, everybody has its own investment. We should respect that ... as I said earlier, one's style couldn't suit others.

If you think that it's worth a try, you could follow. Otherwise, just take it as a second opinion. Final decision is still on you. Nobody including your agent or financial planner could advise or intervene your decision.

This is definitely true, but I wanted to help him understand more about the fund..
Because by the way he posted here, those statements are usually found in the prospectus..
So chances are that he didn't really understand the fund but just follow the flow of rumours..
Before investing in any fund, it's important to do a research first on the fundamentals of the market the fund is investing into..
I prefer a top-down analysis when deciding on my fund investments..

Any one know how much the UT agent will earn? Thinking of become the agent soon.

Unit trust investment is always recommended to be mid to long term, but not short term.

2.85% of the value he/she sells

hi everyone i'm new here ...

anyone invest in OUK-UOB Fund? i found the performace of OUK-UOB Fund is quite good... there is a new fund called Thematic Growth Fund which invest in Malaysia market majorly... thinkinig of buying this fund... i know china fund is really hot... but do u think Malaysia market will be good in 2 or 3 years?

It's OSK-UOB, and not OUK-UOB..
Thematic growth is more diversified as in they invest in different sectors, so no matter which sector booms, it'll be riding it..
But you have to remember that if one sector booms, and most of the sector is slacking, it'll pull the fund average down..

typing mistake...
i think it is good to balance the investment in few sectors... may go for it...

Yes, this one I believe is a more moderate risk fund if I remember correctly..
But isn't the offer period over..?
I think this fund has been launched last month..

offer period ends 16 Oct 2007

I read that there is a limit of how much unit a UT consultant can buy. So, how much is the maximum limit of unit he/she can buy in a particular fund (PM fund)? Does it matter if the fund is of JOINT-holder?

A UT agent can buy as much as he afford to. The buying limit only refer to transaction which is FOC, NO service charge. For normal agent, they are entitled to 1k only. But the amount increased when the position is higher, if I am right.

As explained by shih, UT consultants can only buy to a limit of RM1k at agent's price (without service charge), while they can buy as normal investors could at market price (adding the service change).

Do you mean they will still incurs (sales charge - their commission)?

Yes, they will be charged the normal service charge, and also get the commision based on the investment
