I was advised by my agent today to sell back my PFES funds with over 40 - 60% Net profit. Had a few funds of PFES since 2005. The market is too volatile, time to take the profits and come back later...

How much do Unit Trust agents make when they sell for you ?

There is no service charge / exit charge being imposed by Public Mutual for selling/redemption of Unit Trust fund.

So, your agent is not making any commission by selling it for you. But she might make commission if she later ask you to go back in n buy again...which is the 5.5% service charge.

If she ask you to switch instead, you need to pay rm25 transaction fees only and there is no extra service charge, and agent will not make commission from this as well.

SO, it might be better to switch into Bond fund instead of taking the $ out and go back in later to be charge 5.5% service charge again. If you do plan to take out d $ & not reinvesting it in PM Unit Trust later, then it is ok to sell

Thanks for the valuable info...How did you know it was a SHE tongue.gif

Switching may be a better option like you said but a bit worried with the current trends...I'm looking at close to 22k - 25k accumulated gain from the last 3 years hmm.gif

I juz simply type only...dunno ur agent is a she oso  laugh.gif
Your concerns are not unfounded...in these kind of market everyone is worried...Anyway, Bond Fund generally are quite safe, instead, it has move quite fast during the market downturn as people will turn their money to keep in Bond...a safer investment.

Else, you can consider taking it out and keep in FD...more safe. But just have to pay another round of service charge when you re-enter. But if you think this way is more comfortable and can preserve your profit better...go ahead.
Judge your own... smile.gif

I kinda set my mind on reaping the profits first...never actually sold before, always just pumped in more $...Thanks again for the info and advise. I will still have some PFES, PIEF PIDF invests in, only taking out which shows more than 40% above Net profits so far. I eventually will invest again. Ironicaly just got my Gold member card yeterday tongue.gif , hehe now looking at pulling back some.

Yes, I would advise you to do a switching too, rather than selling.
Since you do plan to reinvest again, lock your profits by switching to a Money Market fund.
If you are worried about bonds, money market is the safest in unit trust.
The return is comparative with FD, but you don't need to pay anything for reinvestment.

Thanks for the info, will keep this for next transactions...a bit too late for the others, just sold the high gain ones. Not complaining "make good profit me thinks..."

Thank you for your compliment.

We are glad to hear that you took some profits on your investments acted on good advices from Public Mutual agents.

We believe you have moved your money to bond funds to earn some interest, also  in the right direction.

You might want to re invest back  to take advantage of the attractive market conditions later on.

If you have any doubts, you can always bring it out here, so we can try our best to assist you.

Regards.

From what been reported, foreign fund manager have been selling off especially on the big counters awaiting for the coming GE. Hence the tumbling of KLCI.

If the result of GE is unfavourable (i.e. BN did not have landslide or 2/3 majority...) the drop might continue.
Some analyst said usually after GE, KLCI will have some rally up....judge your own smile.gif

biggrin.gif this is what i was also told by my agent...look at see after GE
