How you guys make the payment?

CIMB/HLB Bill Payment?

Or Fund Transfer using CDM or M2U?

I quoted those info from their FAQ. For Bill Payment method, they only mentioned HLB and CIMB.

I believe you're using Fund Transfer method. After that, you have to email them the screenshot with the reference number right? Does this step also applicable to Bill Payment method using HLB and CIMB?

CIMB-Principal Australian Equity Fund under Regional Funds section/category.

Yes, 1% of exit fee if < 90 days for certain fund; for instance, CIMB-Principal Australian Equity Fund.

Does your fund that you tried to purchase is under the the participating list?

I haven't top up this round. So I can't really comment on this.

Thanks for the valuable information.

I just checked for CIMB-Principal Australian Equity Fund. Without participating for e-InvestSmart, it charges 2%

You're absolutely correct. So strange!

Before 2pm, today NAV.

After 2pm, tomorrow NAV.

Last NAV posting on the website is generally one day delay; meaning today posting is for yesterday NAV.

I have been waiting for such day to arrive until my neck is getting too long!

It's painful but it's bearly avoidable.

What're the 5 funds?

I thought the promo ended on 31 December 2011.

Where you get this info? CIMBClicks didn't update the info? I just checked it after you posted.

Got it! Thanks. It's my Chrome cache is giving me outdated info!

I concurred with cherroy. It's better to them separately.

I don't think that the fund invested into something that is causing the fund NAV to be "discounted" at nearly 40%. It's the losses of the fund holdings that has bought some shares at the very peak price. When market started to deteriorate in 2009, fund manager may cut loss by allocation from equity into fixed income instrument. Even if they didn't sell it out, it's still far far away from its peak price.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good bond funds from PM are still closed.
