MYR has dropped from 4.23 to 4.45 vs USD, abt 5% since TRUMP's victory, what about S-Reits or SGX indices, drop more than this? Just want to compare to see how much worst is investment in ASx.

I estimate that just the strength of the SGD alone is enough now to wipe out ASX gains of 6.4% per year, for now. NO need to think abt investing is SG intrsuments yet !

Bro, the risk profiles for d above asset class is in a different league when compared to ASx

Bau for ASx FP

no impact..

it's more on MYR, but I see no changes also 

Tats is wat I'm discussing with dasecret right now

unless you worked overseas before, LHDN would have the records for your past income filing.. unless could show stock/forex or other investment gains not subjected to income tax.. (ps: forgot to add winning toto or 4D)

Haha u also get letter
So bored already see the letter / pamphlets

Just drop an email to ASNB to request a set of 2017 Table Calendar

Somebody is going to say this thread is so childish.

Let me comment a bit. What I heard from my Bumi friends is that they don't even have enough for their everyday survival, or barely enough,.. why should they think about saving anymore ? How do we address such comments please ?

Went to BSN for some facts finding.. and this is what i gathered..

suppose they can really give 6%/year div, the management fee -5% will set you back for only 1% first year and 6% second year (if u are lucky), hence average only 3.5%/year for 2 years time frame, why bothered ASN when u can get PIDM coverage with FD?

was told one ASN3 product was issued years back is selling currently for only RM1.01 which is like negative performance after minus inflation. Any savvy investor could perform better than their fund managers.

Also, their portfolios only focus on solely Msia stocks with high composition of financial markets, if investors really want stock exposure in RM, they can just buy maybank and pbb stocks, again why bother to go for ASN? If you were to risk your capital, why dont u just go buy some reits stocks instead.

Based on these facts, if you want diversification, this is definitely not an instrument to go for, it doesn't invest in bond, it doesnt invest in foreign exchange. It's just like buying the KLSE index.

but seeing the on going popularity of this thread, i suspect i might missed out something on the reasons why so many happily going for it.

Ohhh,............then the other non-Bumi ASX's are DEAD ! Surely less than 6.3%, maybe 5.6% only, if using the same quantum !

Good times are OVER !

hmm most of my funds in AS1M... can I contra it into other funds (asw/asm)?

I can only do it by 1st of month? (To prevent lost in dividends)

So I go to bank, asking for top up asw/asm.
Once I got the unit, then show him my as1m book.
"Please help me sell it (as1m) to but the funda I just topped up?"

Now that ASB has landed on 6.x℅, I doubt that it will go back to 7.x% in the near future, as we can see from history. The other ASx will definitely be in the 5.x% range. We need an enormous economic miracle to go back to the good times.

Is there a place to see daily historical price of ASNB 3? Bloomberg doesn't show it, can't find it anywhere else online as well. Any idea what are the YTD returns of ASN 3?
