.............From what I have been following (few months of stalking this thread), PRS does not match up to the expected returns compare to the normal UT funds. One can use the normal UT fund as a form of PRS also.
One already have EPF, active UT, shares in Malaysia (not everyone have shares). Diversify out of Malaysia. I think that is more than enough in Malaysia.
"From what I have been following (few months of stalking this thread), PRS does not match up to the expected returns compare to the normal UT funds".
I just wanted to clarify as not to let the mind of others misunderstood...
may I suggest those interested, go read the fund fact sheet of the PRS funds.... because for some PRS funds, eventhough it has the word Growth stated...it is actually a Balanced fund, because it consisted a combination of both EQ and FI funds.
"One can use the normal UT fund as a form of PRS also".
Yes, it can be a form of PRS also, but bear in mind...Normal UT fund cannot have tax relieve, be subjected to SC but got no lockin period.
I would say, can buy a number of PRS to form a portfolio....
ex...if only wanted a PRS fund
can try...
(a)CIMB Principal PRS Plus Growth....with it, it has
38% Asian EQ fund
28% Asia Pac Fund
30% Bond fund
PLUS a non PRS fund like GTF
if want a combinations of a few PRS funds...can try...
(b)CIMB Principal PRS Plus Asia Pacific ex Jpn ....min 95% in Ponzi 2.0...no bond fund
(e)Affinhwang AIIMAN PRS Syariah growth...min 95%% in Hwang Aiiman Growth...no Bond fund
(d)AmPRS – Conservative Fund .....FI and MM
PLUS a non PRS fund like GTF
can buy a combination of funds at no SC and still enjoy Tax relief
ex
yr 1 RM 3000 in (a)
yr 2 RM 3000 in (b)
yr 3 RM 3000 in (d)
yr 4 RM 3000 in (e)
or any other combination of your choice of funds or amount (pls note that...RM8 applies per contribution)
above is just a suggestion...
