Thanks. Just had a look at the pricing structure on FSM website.
So what you've described here, if I'm not mistaken
1. Buy equity funds => pay sales charge
2. Switch to fixed income => get credit points
3. Sell fixed income funds
Assuming you've bought and sold at exactly the same price, you've technically converted sales charges to credit points. How much are the credit points worth that you would deem it as a profit?
Does making massive switches of entire positions out perform a stable portfolio, with only minimal switching to rebalance? It sounds like the switching cost would be a massive drag on performance.
My RM0.02

Now u are starting to sound like a polite sceptic a.k.a. troll...
I'm giving u the benefit of doubt...
We are not trying to profit from making countless switches, we are trying to SAVE ON SALES CHARGES on future equity fund purchases.
E.g. I have ABC Equity Fund which I think sucks/did not fit into my portfolio anymore. Instead of selling outright, I switch to ABC Bond Fund, then sell the ABC Bond Fund. Such way, I get credit points. Then I found 003 Equity Fund which I think fits into my portfolio strategy, I buy this fund and use the previously earned credit points to offset from 003 Fund House's sales charge i.e. buy 003 Equity Fund at 0% sales charge.

A small price to pay. I have saved thousands of ringgit in sales fees using this method. I am sure you do know that
I have a tendency to overtrade my unit trusts.

Nah nah nah, ni nak minta rotan ni
But hor, did u ever find yourself where in retrospect, had u not switch so often, u would have made better returns?
