The eUT promotion is always 0% SC for amount > 5k. One can use it for switching funds and invest new funds. And they have it as long as one month duration, you can use it without making rush decisions.

Compare this to the FSM 1 day promotion which invites so many funny funny questions such as what time lar and which day lar and so on so forth !

But not all funds are under promotion. TA funds and CIMB funds ( except Ponzi 2 ) are usually not under promo in eUT. So buy these in FSM.

Bond funds also there is difference. Bond funds are 1% SC for eUT ( non-promo rates ). Whereas for FSM is 0% + 0.05% platform fees per quarter. So better keep bond funds in FSM, it will take a long while before it reaches the 1% SC.

FSM has this credit points and a long time investor will some how accumulate some credit points where he will find it useful.

I will keep the more aggressive port in eUT and I could switch the port just over night without paying a single cent during promotion. That could work as double edge sword, which I have to constantly remind myself not to make rush decision.  blush.gif But so far my port in eUT performs much better than those in FSM. Maybe due to different funds nature.

Greetings,

I have been reading the recent versions of FSM threads since a few days ago. I understand the very basic idea and risk behind Unit Trust, and have read through a few websites/articles suggested here.

However, despite having no platform fee, e-UnitTrust seems to be almost absence in lowyat.net.
I have read forumers suggesting to use FSM's website to analyze, and e-UT to invest (lower sales charge on promotion, no annual platform fee for equities). I don’t mean to be ignorance, but I have yet to understand the benefits of FSM and why dear LYN members (with so much experiences) still invest through FSM.

I am sure there is some benefit-cost weightage which I have missed. Is anyone kind enough to enlighten me?

I plan to have some very small investment through FSM or eUT this CNY.

Thanks.

btw,...are you from FSM?...want take our words for 'promotional' materials?

Haha, I am not from FSM or eUT, just a newbie who realized the benefits of Unit Trust very recently. But I am sure some FSM employees are lurking around... this is LYN after all.

I wasn't aware of FSM's credit system, I've just googled it up after your message, thanks.

As my investment is way below the FSM's cut-off point, I am subjected to 0.4% of platform fee, which (based on my calculation) actually exceed the sales charges by those agents in 7 years' time.

Since I have missed FSM's sales charge promotion today, perhaps I shall hold on to the cash and do further research before deciding which platform and fund to invest. Meanwhile I appreciate any other feedback from LYN forumers.

1) in FSM MY, platform fee is only 0.2% p.a. for FI

2) EQ/Balanced charges normal SC (promotional SC if within promotional period subject ot T&C), no platform fee

Oh! I must have read wrongly then. Somehow my blur mind thought Unit Trust investment of <200k is subjected to 0.1%/quarter platform fee in FSM... no idea where did I read that.
I guess currently, only Singapore FSM charges platform fee for investment other than bond? (found it here, a post by creativ in 2013). FSM Malaysia only incur platform fee on fixed incomes...

In that case, the benefit of using FSM (for Unit Trusts) far outweight that of eUT.

Thanks your the replies everyone.

P.S: Wow this thread is crazy active!

Hello, first time investor here, got my FSM account ready last year but decided to hold till this year to get the RM1k incentive. biggrin.gif

I've decided to invest RM3k per year to maximise the tax rebate too.

My question is, should i just invest may be around RM1100 for one fund (to get the incentive) and then take my time to invest the remainder in the next few months? I think it would be safer to break into a few PRS funds right?

Aye, I personally prefer to go for the Dollar Cost Averaging method, and invest the remaining RM1900 over next few months.

By the way, the sifu here are mostly on Unit Trust and Bond. Even though FSM also provide a convenient platform for PRS fund, most of the PRS sifus are at this thread instead.
