Ahem... the person who is challenging the basic principle of unit trust investment is also someone whom I remember saying "ASX is equivalent but more superior than fixed deposits"
So honestly, I'm not surprised and I would just ignore. I've given up highlighting to people that it's clearly stated in ASX master prospectus that neither the capital nor the dividends of the funds are guaranteed... so seriously, which part of it looks like FD other than you can redeem immediately
Sorry bro,
Pinky Spider My mistake. I think I start to understand about what's posted on front page.
It might not be highlighted in the MP about capital and dividends guaranteed. Well I list it out how it's equivalent and superior to FD.
1) You buy and sell at RM1/unit. You tell me how can your capital is not guaranteed unless pnb goes kaput? No SC.
2) FD interest most is 4.X%. ASX FP have been giving out consistent 6.x% per year. Yes is not guaranteed the dividends but think, if they give less than that, how many people will pull out? Now, we can't have that can we. Besides they have reserves to give consistent returns to during bad times.
3) National interest bro. We can't let something happen to national interest can we?
So now you have it, capital is "protected". "Consistent" of >=6.X% returns per year for >10 Years. What more you want? May not be FD, but it looks like FD.
And pinky, you may speak bad about asx fp, but let me tell you that I know someone who managed to double his original amount just by putting into asx fp (no topup just dividends). It might be slower compare to fsm, but he still manage to double his original amount.
