Actually, interestingly that’s exactly what my RM told me… that until I upgraded to Private banking with her, she wasn’t allowed to offer Prestige/Premier/Priority/Privilege customers IPO bonds.
Ya, but my point is Malaysia Private banking customers take the leftovers from Singapore which the good ones all taken. Singapore is afterall the financial center.

Wah, then 4.92% isn’t all that attractive in MYR, not when you factor in the appreciation of the SGD relative to MYR. Nevertheless, did you buy any?
Future currency movement no one knows. But yes judging by recent trend plus anticipated future trend, ringgit most likely will drop further. But it is very painful now to convert to SGD or USD. Not many people in lowyat forum has access to overseas market like you, so sadly we are stuck with Ringgit Bond.
Genting M is quite highly rated AA1 by Malaysia rating agency. 4.92% is one of the better ones launched lately. The rest all cannot make it. AMBANK or PB launched their 5 years bond the YTM only 4 to 4.1%... Even the Afffin Bank AT1 callable bond less than 4.5% or 4.8% I think. Basically sad and sucky.
Yes I bought some.
