Just an idea on investment

2012 is just around the corner. Many of us, I am sure, are eagerly waiting for ASB to announce its yearly dividend. Since it will become a hot topic very soon, let me take this opportunity to talk about my crazy idea.

There are around more than 10 funds issued and managed by PNB. Amongst those, there are 5 popular funds issued and managed by PNB. I also want to add 1 new fund called AHB by PHB. All of them can be termed as Capital Guaranteed Funds. In no particular order, they are the followings -

1) Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) : launched in 2001 - Financial Period : Every 31 December, Approved Size Fund : UNLIMITED; for bumiputera only
2) Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 (ASW2020) : launched in 1996, Approved Size Fund : 15.515 billion, Financial End : Every 31 August (but 51% for Bumi, 49% for Non Bumi - Non Bumi Unit fully subscribed)
3) Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) : launched in 2000, Approved Size Fund : 13.91 billion, Financial End : Every 31 March
4) AS1M : launched in 2009, Approved Size Fund : 10 billion, Financial End : Every 30 September
5) Amanah Saham Didik (ASD) - Performance - Launched in 2001 - Financial Period : Every 30 June, Approved Size Fund : 4.5; for bumiputera only. They said it is almost fully subscribed but you still can get them
6) Amanah Hartanah Bumiputera (AHB) : Launched in Nov 2010, issued and managed by PHB Overall dividend for year 2010-11 is 6.25%. For bumi only. They said they are giving dividend twice a year. I am expecting they will give around 6% after this. This is what we called Capital guaranteed REIT fund.

(A) ASB Performance -

ASW 2020 : 7.5366667% average yearly dividend
ASM : 6.8936364 average yearly dividend

To simplify –

(D) Average Yearly Dividend for these popular fund
31/12 ASB 10.9%
31/03 ASM 6.9%
31/03 AHB 3.25%
30/06 ASD 7.1%
31/08 ASW 2020 7.5%
30/09 AS1M 6.4%
30/09 AHB 3.25%

Important Note : Do you notice that dividends from all funds since 2009 (except ASB) are below 7%. As for ASB, since 2008, they had been giving dividends under 9%.

(E) What if :

1) Let say you have RM50,000, separate that amount into all these 6 funds
2) If you choose to do this, you will get income of more or less 10% in Jan, 10% in Apr, 7% in July, 7% in Sept and 9.5% in Oct. Look again at the table especially the dates of the announcement of the dividends. Instead of waiting every January and the 10% or less from your ASB alone, you will dividend 5 times a year. In other words, you are making your money works harder!
3) And you can reinvest the dividends you gained to get more dividends. Examples - you can reinvest the ASB's into AS1M account. Then ASW2020’s into ASM. Then maybe you will surpass the 9% dividend by ASB. You can also invest the dividends in other kind of investment like the ones shown below -

(i) Classic Investment : Pure Gold, Bank Rakyat's shares, Tabung Haji, Foreign Currency cash, Precious Metal/Stones, EPF, LTAT (for our soldiers), Angkasa (for our civil servant), conventional insurance, Koperasi, Properties, etc etc

(ii) Modern Investment : Bonds, Buying and Selling Shares, Unit Trust (All kinds), Investment Linked Insurance, Structured Investment, Franchise, Gold Investment Account, Foreign Currency Account, Hedge Fund, Palm Oil Scheme, Special Savings Account linked to your loan payment, etc etc

So, ok ek ko?
