Hi, is it really necessary to get takaful with asbf? My agent told me that in the case of death, the asbf will be terminated and next of kin will not have to pay for the loan..

Dear sifus, can you help me with my calculation?

I started the year with balance of 211,666.
My monthly asbf instalment is 1074.

My dividend for 2018 will be 5.5%x211,666=11,641.63.
This is even lower than if I save my money somewhere else (even at 0% return), 1074x12=12,888.

Did I miscalculate somewhere?

Your calculation is correct. However you need to include the unrealized "profit" in the form of the principal paid.

both shodan11 and tet got it right. You have to consider that:

1. you have two accounts to look into:
a) loan account, with the loan balance reducing each time you pay your RM1074 installments
b)the ASB account, which compounds your returns
Based on the margin between the financing rate and the distribution rate, people are profiting. It is only an issue if you plan of using the distribution to pay for all your installments for the whole of next year.

Most people don't understand this; if you compare it to properties with its higher risks, higher entry costs, and likely negative cash flow (reantal wont be able to cover installment in the first few years), I really don't understand why they are complaining about ASB and ASBF?

Are these non-eligibles jealous? Btw, ASB is not just for Bumiputras, a select few non-Bumiputras are also eligible for ASB/ASBF. The ignorant questions seem to always be coming from the non-eligibles
The bank interests are definitely eating up the profit. But the bigger concern is the expectations of investors that the distributions would be able to cover the installments - which might I remind you is paying for BOTH the interests as well as the principal repayment.

A good litmus test is to look at your loan statement, calculate the interest paid over the past 12 months. Compare that figure with the distribution earned. You will always see that the distribution is higher than the interests (that is easy, you dont actually have to calculate it).

Now, compare this to something most people are more familiar with: investment in properties. You would be LUCKY if you can get your rentals to cover even 80% of your installments. It is MUCH riskier than ASBF too:

1. higher entry costs
2. tenant runaway
3. property damge
4. taxes
5. insurance
6. Capital depreciations (or appreciation but today's market sucks)

The list goes on. None of which affects ASBF at all

It's all the non-eligibles jealous of this pportunity

Thanks for the consultation!
