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.

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

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.

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....

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

because there's more promising eq and bond fund in fsm

VP can but the 2 new VP still in progress.

too bad they don't have it.

the only way is via the fund fact sheet.

no pros, only cons.
3.5 sc. haha

it's good to be transparent ma.

well. some in-house bank fund can perf up to 5.8 pa, it's FI fund. and with 3.5 SC too.

I can't find any reason why SARA 2 can't.

oh yea. they have exit penalty but SARA 2 don't

Get SARA 2.

they are mostly bond fund. 80%. as in EQ5, they are heavy in bursa.

it break 1. just you need to be 1.35 to break even.

chill. even the wholesale bond also need 1 year to get 6.0.... this I think need more time.

lol yea...

1.35 maybe after 10 years lol

since Malaysia 2019 won't have hike... I think long term bond should be better.
