CHGS FAQ
WWC - Women Wealth Creation

Hi, anyone heard about this plan before?
I plan to invest on this, but this doesn't come cheap >.<"
Minimum investment is RM5,500
And they guaranteed 8% of returns for the first 3 years.

From 4th year onwards, then it will follow the market price to earn the percentage.


From my understanding, they bought a very large piece of land and divides them into smaller pieces. Then, I buy a quarter acre from them for RM5,500.
They will plant oil palm on the land. So, the first 3 years are where the plantation started. So, no income from selling the fruits yet. They guaranteed 8% of return for the first 3 years.
When reach the 4th year, then I'll earn the money from the sales of the oil palms according to some percentage, where the maximum I can get is 17% (if I'm not wrong).
However, I got a second option, whereas on 4th year, I can sell the land to someone else. I can ask CHGS to sell it back, thus save hassle for me to find own buyer.
This growing scheme only last for 23 years. After the 23 years, I still owned the land. The company will then sell the land and I'll get my share.

So, what you guys think? Safe to invest?
I don't know if oil palm is good, but I knew rubber price are increasing these days.

* News update, as of 23rd Sept, all of our RM8000 phase plots have been sold out. I would like to thank everyone who have supported CHGS and will continue to update for future releases. The 2nd year of dividends will be released by 14th Feb 2009 at 8% p.a.

Yea, my main concern is, if I plan to sell the land on the 4th year, what if no buyer icon_question.gif
But, the investment is for sure better than bank's FD for the first 3 years.


Edit-
Refer to his link http://www.chgs.com.my/trustee.asp
I think it's backup by CIMB?

there's some risk associated...

1st. Risk of the company winding up, therefore, no one would be paying the grower. However, the trustee may appoint a new management to takeover the plantation.
2nd. Lack of liquidity, management is not responsible to buyback ur lot. Your money stuck would be stucked untill you can get someone to buy from you. This is wat i feel bad about.
3rd. Long period (23 years)

What i'm curious is just after 23 years what would happened to my initial investment cost 5500? Is it just gone like that? Or somebody is going to buy back from me?
*
After 23 years, CHGS will sell the land according to the market price and will be divided among the investors.
And I heard the guy telling me that sooner the price will up to RM6000 >.<"

Yea, my main concern is your point 2. If I need money and nobody buys back from me how rclxub.gif
Long period is fine, just take it as long time investment. Anyway, low risk = long time right?

last night i went for the seminar in penang.
liquidity will be a main problem for this kind of investment, but if u dont plan to touch ur money anytime soon, i reckon this is one of the best long term investment you can find.
there will be no solution to the liquidity problem until they come out with some sort of repurchase option like unit trust, u will have to find a buyer who is willing to take over(transfer) the ownership of the land, since its a physical investment(you're buying a piece of land), its gonna be much more complicated.
their financial year is from 1st Jan to 31st Dec, yield coming in February, its gonna be exciting when the first batch of investors get their yield.
smile.gif

you'll be receiving 12% yield as long as CPO stays above RM2100 on average for that year. and also subjected to additional 5%bonus if yield is good, not much information on the yield terms&condition and calculation, willupdate once get more info, anyone with detailed info pls update. tq
*
erm, something to add here.
The additional 5% is only for those who holding 4 lots and above if i'm not wrong.
I'm not very sure about this.

I haven't invest yet. I think most probably next year March only I can put my foot in.

Wodenus, it is too soon to tell. This is only the 4th completed year where the first 3 years was 8% while year 4 (year 2010) is the year profits are distributed (i.e. 12%). For me, I only bought during the 2nd year and so far only got 8% + 8% + 12% (although somebody did mention the harvest started in April).
*
same as me
2 plots, so far been getting 8% + 8% + 12%
just filled in my form and will be mailing them later.

I just wonder for those outstation people who have no access to internet, will they continue to send the cheque?
It's kind of inconvenient to stop sending cheque directly...

Well you got the point i did not realize some of the posting for sale already exceed 9 months.
If i am not wrong inside the agreement when we sell the units, it mention that the selling will be only for 3 months.
are you going to call CHGS to check about this ?
*
sorry, what do you meant by 3 months?
after you list there for 3 months also no buyer, then CHGS will buy it back?

i'm thinking of selling it also...
the way CHGS deal is very bad.. there is no transparency...
i remembered for last year, i actually receive a CD from them (but i didn't open to look what's inside)
