AS1M - Poor response as the government is running dry

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 |

Amanah Saham 1 Malaysia (AS1M) is facing poor uptake on its units as poor response is seen on AS1M compared to other trust funds.

Although 244,735 investors have invested amount up to 3.45 billion, it is around 35% of the total fund size which is RM10 billion.

This is the fifth fund launched by PNB after Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB), Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM), Amanah Saham Didik and Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020.

Here are my 2cents on why it has poor response :-

Amanah Saham - ASN 3 declares 5.5 sen dividend

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 |

Permodalan National Berhad (PNB) recently announced that ASN 3, one of their investment products to a 5.5 sen dividend.

The payout will amount to RM6.92 million. The 5.5 sen distribution was is 5.4% return of investment for those invested in this fund.

Conclusion

A better return in % compared to fixed deposit but still not my cup of tea! I am more of a volatile investor that targets much higher returns. That is why the share market is my cup of tea! I am still young and i can withstand all the risks involved in share market investments. ^^

ASM - 1.6 billion units up for grabs

Friday, July 17th, 2009 |

Our government seems to be quite generous of late. Permodalan National Bhd (PNB) will offer the remaining 1.6 billion Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) units for Malaysians. Those interested can start subscribing to ASM beginning from July 21st 2009.

Will there be limit?

All account holders will be entitled to 20000 units maximum from 21-27 July 2009. The limit will be void after the offer period.

Worrying fact about ASM

Latest ASM report states that 296 individuals is holding a massive 264 million units. Average of 893068 units per person. I am wondering how did they get hold of so many units?

Amanah Saham 1Malaysia - New Unit Trust Fund for Malaysians

Thursday, July 16th, 2009 |

Pleasant surprise to those unit trust lovers. Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib has agreed to Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) to establish a new unit trust fund, Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS1M).

The size of the fund will be at RM 10 billion and it is open to all Malaysians aged 18 and above. This fund is launch in celebrating our PM’s 100 days in office.

A good way to start

For those looking for higher returns compared to fixed deposit, Amanah Saham 1Malaysia might just be the right tonic for you to diversify on your investment portfolio.

Will i invest?

It has been a long time since i put any money into any PNB products. Maybe because at the moment the returns given by them are not attractive enough to me. Greedy…

Term of investment

Usually PNB products are mainly catered for medium to long term investors with an average of 5% to 10% return per annum. Mind you, it’s not guaranteed.

Get your alarm clock and cheque books ready as i am pretty sure the queue will be long for this new fund. You wouldn’t want to miss on this golden opportunity to invest on something which is better then our current FD rate.
