DON'T BOTHER

Seriously, don't bother

Q: WHEN WILL I KNOW ABOUT THE PRICE I GET?

A: Most of the unit trusts in Malaysia are priced based on "forward pricing". This means that if you transact today, you will get the fund’s value as of the closing price of the market today. However, you will know the price in two working days
The price that you could see in the website is the so-called 'indicative price'. This is usually the price of the fund two working days ago. This indicative price is NOT the actual transaction price of the fund that you are buying or selling.

Generally, the fund manager requires approximately two business days to consolidate and derive a unit price for the funds. These prices are further valued independently by the fund's trustees. Therefore, the dealing price will be made known to the public two business days after the transaction date. Once we obtained the price, an email notification will be sent to you.

Q: WHEN WILL MY BUY ORDERS BE TRANSACTED?

A: Cheque Payment/Internet Bill Payment
Your buy orders will only be transacted when we receive your payment. Once we received your cheque/Internet bill payment for your orders before 3pm on each business day, your orders will be transacted on the same day. Cheques/Internet bill payment received after 3pm or on a non-business day will be transacted on the next business day

How to Calculate and Read Public Mutual Fund Performance Chart

more in google...

The price chart just shows the NAV price. Quick example:

Month 1: Buy 10000 units @ RM1.00
Month 2: NAV is RM2.00. Value of investments become RM20000.
Month 3: NAV is RM2.00. Fund declares distribution RM0.50. NAV becomes RM1.50. Value of holdings still RM20000
Month 4: NAV is RM2.00. Value of holdings become RM26666.67.

Looking at the price chart for these 4 months, you'll see it go up down up back to same spot. If you look at the performance/growth chart however, it'll go up only.

The performance chart shows the real growth of the fund. It has nothing to do with its NAV price.

The NAV price of UT is not the same as stock price. And "income distribution" is not same as in stock's dividend.
The NAV price is adjusted DOWN after each income distribution. So it is meaningless to make a chart on the NAV price.

The NAV price usually means the price per unit. After an income distribution, and if the distribution is re-invested, you will be getting more units.

Lastly, a Public Mutual bond fund is usually launched at RM1.00. Even if it had grown several hundreds percent, it will not go beyond RM2.00. Usually within range of RM1 plus/minus 10 or 20 sens.

I find it very misleading when sites make charts on NAV prices, and to put NAV prices as a watchlist to time the entry into the fund. 
The author in that linked article was trying to explained that the Performance Chart do not includes the service charges. When the service charge is included into your investment to calculate the ROI, there is a difference.

The performance chart shows the growth of the fund at any given time. It shows the growth of your investment EXCLUDING the service charge.

Ah, that's because of the distribution. You have:

Before distribution: 10000 units worth RM2.00 each.
After distribution: 10000 units worth RM1.50 each + RM5000 (distribution was RM0.50 per unit x 10000). This RM5000 is reinvested to purchase more units at RM1.50 per unit, so RM5000 / RM1.50 = 3333.33 units. Bringing your total amount of units to 13333.33.

In Month 4, when the price goes back up to RM2.00, the value of your holdings become 13333.33 x RM2.00 = RM26666.67. Basically distribution turns a portion of the value of each unit into money (RM2.00 = RM1.50 + RM0.50).
More or less, yeah. For funds that don't do distributions/unit splits etc, the price chart will be the same as the performance chart.

is the holding of the funds are ALL index linked stocks?
did all the stock prices in the holdings fall at the same rate?
is there any currencies exchange variances?
is all the holdings in the funds the same..(did the FM buy or sell anything in that day)?
are some of the considerations too...
