Although they just announced today that there’s no sales charges for this AS1M but I forsee there’s no queue or so much havoc like the previous ASM and ASW2020. Moreover all the uncle and aunty taken out all their money invest in those two funds and not forgetting about Sukuk Simpanan Rakyat (Gov. Savings Bond).
Picture taken during last ASW2020 on April.
PNB: No sales charge for AS 1Malaysia unit shares
KUALA LUMPUR: No sales charge will be imposed on the sale of Amanah Saham 1Malaysia which will be opened for public subscription tomorrow.
Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) president and group chief executive Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman said this was despite the provision for the imposition of sales charges. He did not give the reason for this.
Hamad said AS 1Malaysia, an equity income fund, could invest up to 90% from its value in the equity market.
He added that it was expected to generate competitive returns when the economy and market fully recovers.
“For example, Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 and Amanah Saham Malaysia which are both fixed price equity income fund has provided income distribution of between 6.25% to 8% in the past five years, which is comparatively higher than the prevailing fixed deposit rate of commercial banks,” he said.
The RM10bil AS 1Malaysia would be open to all Malaysians aged 18 years and above.
The minimum initial investment is 100 units and the minimum additional investment is one unit. The price of one unit is RM1.

Most Chinese in Malaysia are knowledge ignorant. Especially financial knowledge. Did u check the annual report from the http://www.pnb.com.my for all the asm(s)? Do you know how bad is the investment return they have? Who do you think is in charge of the investment?
Let me tell u, they are losing money right and left EVERY YEAR and still give u 7% return. How they do it?
The answer – it’s your money. You give them RM100, they give u RM6 every year and conservatively they can do this for 12 to 16 years before you know it. But then it’s too late for you, don’t believe me check with the return on their annual reports. They are losing money in 90%+ of their ‘investments’ yet they can pay 7% – 8.5% to the shareholders? Where is the money come from? This is call Ponzi scam and hopefully you know how to google it.
