ASW 2020 & ASM :Money Making Funds

Posted by Kris | Wednesday, January 14, 2009 | | 0 comments »

I always been told that buying an ASW is like striking a jackpot. Earning easy money. The hardest part would be queueing up to buy the fund before it is sold out like HOT cakes.

Looking at the dividend rate below for the 1999-2008 period will certainly explain why this fund is a HOT!! The fund sold out like in an hour all over Malaysia.

Damn!! I missed out on the last offer :(

I wonder how the fund manager for ASW managed to produce above FD rates returns for such long period without any negative returns. It managed to evade the heavy losses during the Asian Financial Crisis and also the 11 Sept 2001 downturn. Amazing!!

For the sake of all hard-working Malaysian who poured their savings to buy into these funds, let us hope that this profitable fund will continue to exist for a long long time.

Very informative blog on less risky financial instruments such as bond, FD, and etc.

ASW 2020 and ASM Dividend Comparison Chart 


This is the latest PNBunit trust Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 and Amanah Saham Malaysia dividend rate comparison chart. ASW 2020 announced the 7% dividend of Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 for the year of 2008. The dividend rate is 0.8% lower than ASM 7.8%.

It seems that the maximum unit trust dividend rate from PNB for the ASW 2020 and ASM is 8 percent based on the past few years statistic. However the dividend rate is still higher than the fixed deposit rate. It is still wise invest in this fixed price unit trust scheme from PNB.
