Most of the people can create income, but what about preserving income? I can see most of the people nowadays only know to spend money but do not have any idea to save money for future usage. Yes, you must have your own savings as well, then you can grow your saving and turn it into investment.
To invest, it is depends on your risk appetite.
Unit Trust
Apart from being a software engineer, I am also a loyalty unit trust investor of Public Mutual Berhad. I have personally invested in unit trust, and my returns are good for a short period of time.
Different between ASB & Unit Trust
I have invested in ASB also but do you know what is the different between ASB and Unit Trust?? These 2 are not a short-term investment. ASB payout is about 6.8% only and you need to keep it there for a year. It is a close ended, and you buy RM1 and sell it at RM1, it just pay you the dividend. Whereas Unit Trust is an open ended and you can buy RM1 and may be will sell it below the initial price.
thats good analysis of several investment vechicle..i will more aggresive so i may choose to invest stock but lack knowlodge in that field
unit trust all drop nowadays cos of US mortgage subprime issue..it’s not a good time to invest
HELLO, DAVID!

i have bought ASB also but the rate now quite low if compared to last time..last time can go up to 13%-14%..
now CIMB unit trust also not bad…i think it is the most pick up unit trust among the others
Ya, ASB is dividend base. I think another difference is ASB has lower risk (because protected by Government).

the market is down … and some people have been saying buy low and sell high. so this news could be good news for some people since they want to accumulate more units.
