Great Bonus for Public Mutual Investors!
2007-03-01 03:32:00
With regards to our market’s performance during the first half of today’s trading, I would like to reassure investors that our market fundamentals remain strong and we maintain our optimistic outlook on our market's performance over the medium-term. The KLCI opened at 1,189.58 points and declined 8.17% to a low of 1,136.01. However, as of 12:30 pm today, at the end of the day’s first trading session, the KLCI has already seen some recovery, closing at 1,162.91. From our analysis, coupled with feedback from fund managers, analysts and brokers, it is clear that our market’s performance this morning is not an isolated incident. The sharp fall experienced early in this morning’s trading session was a knee-jerk reaction to the regional market slide caused mainly by the sharp decline of the China indices yesterday. We will continue to monitor the situation but I am assured that our market will maintain its growth position in the long run. Our economy is stable and the outlook for

Fund can Invest More in the Overseas...
2007-04-16 05:46:00
STARTING April 1, Malaysians will be able to invest more of their money abroad as they search for better returns.Bank Negara Malaysia has relaxed rules to allow unit trust companies to invest half of their total net asset value (NAV), or the market value of their investments, up from 30 per cent previously.This means that unit trust firms will be able to offer additional units in funds that invest overseas.Such funds have been selling well, but unit trust managers have complained that most of them are close to hitting the ceiling in terms of foreign investments."This is good news for unit trust players to come up with more global funds which will give more choices for investors to diversify their investment portfolios," Amanahraya Unit Trust Management Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Roslan Harun said."I personally think the figure should be more than 50 per cent of the NAV as local investors' appetite for global funds now is on the rise."He said investors do not want to be restricted

It means less sleepless night for you.Do Not Invest Money You Need SoonDo Not Get Emotional And PanicDo Keep Investing And Stay InvestedDo Diversify If an investor invest all his money in a single stock, when the price fallsDo Take Professional AdviceDo Give Your Investments Time To Grow.

Gold for the Early Bird
2007-05-17 07:23:00
The main enemy in getting a high return is not the volatility of a market, but procrastination. We can see from the diagram below what it cost to Clyde when he only starts saving when he is 27 years old.Although he save RM1,000 a year for the next 38 years, he still cannot match the amount of money that Bonnie gets for saving only 10 years at the early age of 18. The earlier you start the lesser amount you have to save and you don’t have to seek a very high interest rate.As it goes the higher the interest rate, the higher the risk that you have to put up with. So if you start early you can put your money in a moderate unit trust fund and still get a higher gain. You don’t have to go through the high volatility of a direct stock investment or the aggressive/high risk unit trust fund. So the best advice is start saving or investing now!.

One of the initiatives are single pricing. below is an excerpt from the newspaper announcement:A single pricing regime will be introduced at the beginning of the second quarter 2007 to ensure there is full transparency and disclosure of up-front costs.

BALANCED FUNDS: A Safer Approach To Investing In Volatile Markets
2007-10-18 00:12:00
In times of volatile market movements, it is a challenge for some investors to keep their emotions in check. When markets are in a strong rally, our herd instinct compels us to join the crowd and ride with the upside. But when markets correct, we are prone to sell out in panic. Yet, the wisest thing for investors to do at such times may be to remain calm and maintain a focused approach for their investments. Keeping an investment portfolio that is invested across different asset classes is a sound and effective strategy to ride through periods of adverse market movements.Stock markets are volatile by nature and as illustrated in recent weeks, extended periods of rising share prices can often be interrupted by sudden bouts of consolidation. In such times, investors with moderate risk profiles should consider holding a balanced fund which is invested in both equities and bonds in near equal proportions. Balanced funds aim to provide income and capital growth over the medium to long term
