VP is the fund that follow the NAV price. Dividend distribution in VP is equally meaningless as the NAV will drop accordingly. Sale charge (SC) the price you paid initially on the purchasing of the units. ASN SARA 2 is heavy on fixed income security, while the equity 5 is heavy on equity, mainly in KLCI.

Kindly read the fund prospectus for further information.

Special Thread for VP Fund of ASNB, Hmm..hope to see special discussion on this thread for potential prospects.

Yea, because it often mixed up and let people confuse. And I think should give it a chance for the 2 new funds.
To put on table to compare, I think it shall perform better than those commercial bank inhouse fund....
Some bank bond fund even wanted up to 5% sc... And most of them are lump sump in requirement.
But no doubt most of the fund in FSM are better thn the old VP. This 2 VP have to see their performance.

Never study the VP.

Is the VP price varies month to month? 1st of the month will be updated?

ASNB VP price varies on daily basis..can check unit price at ASNB website or MyASNB

the price will be daily basics. But will record the month over month NAV.

I have a feeling VP thread will move really really slow
For sure no need any fishing status update here ha ha

Is there any benefit VP has over FP fund ?

Yes, it has no quota, you can buy as much as you like (subject to sales charge and market fluctuation).

Hi anyone already invested in Sara 1 / Sara 2 ?

Just now went to CIMB the officer said for Sara 2 sales charge is now 3.5%, normal rate is 5%
Dividen release Sept 2019.
Current rate is 0.9xx (below 1) so if invest 10K and the rate get up to 1.1 will able to earn 1K exclude dividen.

For Sara 1 is around 1.1xx now and dividen releasing on March 2019.
Even if invest now wait unil March can get full dividen not pro-rate.

Sara 2 is 3.5% SC as usual. Unsure the Sara 1.

Oh, the rate has dropped from RM1 after abt month from launching date.

"Even if invest now..... can get full dividend.." for Sara 1
This is for real? Under promo only by CIMB or is stated in fact sheet for this product?

The CIMB officer says so, no official black & white though. but i guess they wont say it if its not true?

You have to know that this VP funds are the same as other UT out there.
The dividend are useless as the NAV will drop exactly the same rate as the dividend pay out.
After the new classification, ASNB conservative funs will always be 3.5% SC.
tell that to the banker and slap them in the face.

meaning its not a good investment?
how about compared to FD?

Doesn't mean that its not a good investment, but, it up to you. You cant swallow the 3.5 SC and the marktt fluctuation... then its ok...
compared to FD.... not sure....

Wah...

If really like the banker sweet-said (w/o black and white type), i rather consider to buy right before the dividend release.

KLCI drop 100 points in Oct. if continue to drop after budget, then it will become cheaper especially the asn equity 5 😅. They should hold their investment now until the cloud become clear maybe?

dividend or not dividend, its nothing. the NAV will just run with the flow. The dividend in VP is useless.

The other side FP 20 pages of posts, this side VP only 20 posts 😂.
