Versa is good only if the AHAM Capital funds is doing well and there is tax rebate. Also the cash is giving 4% and above

Unfortunately that is not true as returns are usually subpar.

This is referring to the interest rate for the Money market fund by Versa ? The better option would be to deposit cash at Kenanga?

Isn't it just better to dump into EPF since you can also get the tax relief for EPF self contribution now and EPF dividend will most likely have higher return compared to PRS?

You can get both but I wouldn't bother with versa as their prs return sucks over long term. I am not going to put my money in and see a subpar return that cannot even match EPF. Not worth whatever free money I will earn from them.

So i interested to apply prs in versa and dump every year 3k.So every year correct me i got also tax relief paid back to me rm3k rite?

Depends on tax bracket. Eg. If your tax is 100k, by you drop your tax bracket to below 100k and won't get tax at 25% anymore.

Versa PRS scheme how much interest we can get , 4% p.a ?
*
You can use this and check what is the return you will get on yearly basis
https://www.fsmone.com.my/funds/tools/fund-selector

Select prs only and select fund house AHAM only.
4y highest average annualised return 4.4%p.a only. Lowest average annualised return is 2.58%p.a only.

Is not interest.

You withdraw you get 8% penalty. Your choice. It's not a scam. They are basically AHAM online agent.

i thought the Versa 4% promo already over since March ?

Actually with this promo, it is around 4.5%.
Min bal of RM1k and auto debit of RM200/500 monthly is not too difficult.

Not worth it as need to buy funds. Them only versa give you the 4.77%p.a returns.

I am not following you.

Can set up auto debit RM200 to versa cash to qualify for the campaign.
And assume you already have RM1k in versa cash, then you will qualify to this +1% (Apr wise is 3.68% base + 1% promo = 4.68%)
this promo is applicable for first RM10k in your account.
liquidity wise, the RM200 that deposited into account thru auto debit, can be cashed-out too as long as you keep minimum balance of 1k.

Anything i miss?
----------------

Update: Gone through the terms again and i understand now. So the Rm200/500 need to stay under "Invest" fund, and you get +1% on your "Save" account.
So this promotion is only suitable for ppl who are open to have investment in MMF.

Fr.whay I know they want you to put money into versa invest buy their unit trust then only give you the extra 1% bonus 😅

People seems scared about versa invest. Actually auto debit in invest fund is not a bad idea using cost averaging every month. This is funds not shares that will likely delisted. It's safe to use dollar cost averaging.
*
It's not scared. It's lousy returns and limited funds.

QUOTE(Nemozai @ May 10 2024, 11:41 PM)
It’s auto debit into Versa Invest, not versa cash/save. Versa invest is their unit trust fund.
People elsewhere i dont know. But people here is not scare at all at versa invest. All sifus here dont like to invest in versa invest as there’s sales charges and they got better option to invest with higher returns.  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif I.E DIY and US markets

Yup that's right. I won't be fool or tempted by Versa just to get me to buy their unit trust. Lol.

Would you share what are the fund choices you're looking at instead of the ones in Versa?
*
I don't buy funds via FSM MY any more cause I have access to zero service fees platform and better funds than what is available on FSM MY.

I only use FSM MY for my PRS and EPF investment.

Versa is limited to only AHAM funds.
FSM is not limited to AHAM funds. You can use FSM to buy funds from basically any fund house in Malaysia except for public mutual of course.

I will reply what fund is going in the FSM thread.

ohmy.gif  I thought by setting up auto debit then can get 4.77% ? No?  What is that fund about?
*
No. They want you to buy other AHAM unit trust that they sell. So if you set up auto debit and buy other AHAM unit trust they offer then only they give you the 4.77%p.a

It's a marketing trick like banks offer 8%p.a FD by buying unit trust then give you like 8% p.a FD for like 3 months.

If their fund are performing, ok la. You can take up their offer. If you look at the performance of their AHAM funds they offer via FSM Chart centre, you can see that they are lousy.

Take a look yourself. Don't trust my words.
