Hi everyone,

Can I know what are the best ways for Chinese to buy fixed price funds on Amanah unit trust now? Thanks.

i rank from EASIEST to HARDEST

1. buy from others (with commission %)
2. buy FP+VP combo
3. keep fishing non stop
4. convert to islam (u get access to bumiputra fund terus)

thanks lucifah, very useful info. Hahaha (esp the 4th). for 1, do you know any channels to deal with potential sellers? where to find the sellers and whats the common "commission" lets say for RM100k worth of ASM.

last time it is allowed to discuss and advertise here, but then it got out of hand, so its banned

i think got FB group for these people who sell their units

commission ranges from 1% - 7% last time. worth it? i dont know, but this discussion end here

u can find the FB group promoting the units easily by typing in keywords

OK noted, thanks for the useful info bro.

At least you are born in Sabah/Sarawak. You need to convert to bumiputera even though that you still a Chinese. I cannot explain much about this because this is illegal actually. The situation just similar like a rich Chinese person buy a Dato' medal. Only the Chinese from Sabah and Sarawak can use this trick to convert their identity to Sino-native. Your name is still maintaining Chinese name, of course I am a Christian actually.

Only the bumiputera in Sabah and Sarawak have Christians. As you can see for the Iban and Kadazan in Sabah and Sarawak here are half Christians half Islam.
After you get a letter that prove that your grandfather or father is Sino-native. Let's say Sino-Dusun. Of course, you are still a Chinese with Chinese name. There have many Sabahan here can be found as Chinese name but they just speak Malays but don't speak Chinese. That kind of Chinese are considered as Sino-native. They are not a pure Chinese because their father get married with a Sabah bumiputera. Their mother is bumiputera but father is Chinese.

So if you can prove that your birth letter is Sino-Dusun/Sino-Kadazan/Sino-Iban, so you can proceed to go to JPN to change your IC the race category to bumiputera.
With this bumiputera IC, you can now apply ASB directly from the nearest ASNB branch. Everything are fast and smooth. No need to wait so long, just few minutes then done.

Anyone ever successfully add invest in myasnb ebsite? i always get "The transaction was declined due to insufficient units available. Please try again later (068)" for asw

Just come back to try again after few minutes. If you trigger the 5 minutes blocked, just set 5 minutes of timer to wait or try to buy another fund. There must have a certain period that some unit holders might selling out their funds.

ASM3 2021 full holdings released yesterday, just checked my email this morning.

PNB Merdeka Ventures accounts for 0.81% of ASM3 NAV last year.



Also, from their most recent holdings list, cash is only a mere 6% of NAV, seems like they remain fully invested. International equity accounts for about 24% of NAV.

Is anyone else finding it very hard to login to the myasnb portal today? I guess it is overloaded by people trying to check that dividends have been properly credited.

I couldn't login on the portal website but no issue to login via myasnb app

Keep fishing while multitasking with your day job.

It's not that hard actually.

Ok. Thanks. Will keep trying

I notice that usually at Saturday and Sunday is totally impossible to buy. Mostly when the banks start operate from 9.30am - 4.30pm weekdays. You may try to fish on weekdays from Monday to Friday within this period.

Does anyone know when ASB2 dividends get credited? I can see ASB dividends credited in the account but no recent transactions for ASB2.

hi, i am thinking to allocate a certain amount of my investment budget every month to park in my bank to fish for ASM1/2/3. Is that good idea?

before 2020: always wanted to diversify my portfolio to include ASNB. however, I do not have an account and at that time need to physically open account. that time cobid just started and thinking that it will end soon and will go to Menara PNB to open account but LOL....

2021: late last year i found out i can open an account via app, which I did and started investing with pocket money. (reason being i dont want to disturb my annual investment budget and target)

2022: when doing the budget for 2022, i plan to allocate a small amount per month (say RM500 lahhh), park in bank and and try to fish as and when i remember/free time.

*me is non-bumi so only can target on ASM1/2/3.

ASB2 dividend will be announced at end of March every year then credited on 1st April every year.

Thank you.

Is it just me or there is something wrong with the ASNB portal? It is stuck at the login
