Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 ( ASW 2020 ) 2010 Distributions 2020宏願基金 2010 年份股息

ASW2020 ( Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 ) had announced Distributions for the Year ended 31 August 2010 at the rate on 6.35 Sen / Unit. In order words, the Distribution Yields is on 6.35% (Based on unit price RM 1.00 / Unit). Distributions rate for this year have increased 0.05 Sen / Unit. However, personally I have noticed that the Distribution Yields for ASW2020 is seemed to be in downward trend. Well, it is understood that all unit trusts fund performances are basically very dependent to the economic environment and the equities performances around the world. But at the same time also, everyone should agreed that the Asia-pacific countries and also Malaysia’s Equities were flying high within the past year. Perhaps, it is because of the possible giant profits still in ‘Paper- Gain Status’, yet unable to reflect in this Distributions’ announcement.     

Couple of weeks ago, PM of Malaysia announced that the world 2^nd taller building will be rooted on Malaysia’s land. Soon, it is confirmed that ASNB’s Unit Trusts Investment Funds will not be touched to support the construction of Asia Coming Highest Building. As an investor, such confirmation message carried positive meaning to secure our mind. However, personally I hope also our future distribution yields will not be affected at all in whatever kind of possible impact from such a giant construction project.

No matter how, ASW 2020 is still an attractive Unit trusts Fund for anyone to invest. The main reason is simply because of the unit price of the fund is still fixed on RM 1.00 / Unit. And this make investors need no to worry about to face any losses in whatever possible economic environment.

2020宏願基金發股息了。今年的股息被定為 6。35 仙 / 單位 。若以每單位平均價格1令吉計算﹐ 此次拍發的股息就相等與6。35%的回報率。此次拍發的股息雖然比去年多了0。05仙﹐ 但若跟以往相比﹐我們不難發現2020宏願基金的回報率似乎有向下調整的趨勢。當然﹐如果說是大環境所逼﹐那也是理所當然。但是﹐在過去的一年內﹐我們看到的是股市大幅度騰飛﹐尤其是大馬股市及亞太區域的股市。或許是獲利還沒被兌現﹐而導致身為投資者的我們只能得到比去年多0。05仙的原故吧﹗

聽說世界第2高大廈即將在大馬落地﹐ 所有ASNB基金的投資將不會被動用到來支撐這摩天大樓的興建。這樣的保證對資金投資者來說是正面的。 但我更希望將來基金的回報率不會被牽制。

無論如何﹐ 2020宏願基金還是值得被鼓勵投資的。畢竟直至今日﹐此基金的單位價還是被定位在1令吉/單位﹐ 從而免去了價位上下波動的風險。

ASNB Online Investment for ASB , ASW 2020 , ASD , ASM , AS1M via Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks

Do you every Q up for the whole morning just to rush for adding your investment in ASNB funds? It is very common to see that majority of the public; especially non-Bumi was often rushed to Q whenever there is with additional units offering for purchasing by ASNB. The reason is simply because of the investment quota that limits the amount of units that can be purchased by non-Bumi investors.

However, I am always believed that it is not possible for all the investors to just invest but never withdraw their investments within those funds, regardless they are either Bumi or non-Bumi. In fact, I am always asking the availability of units to be investing, whenever I am going to either banks or post offices.

But now, it’s all turn to become much easier. This is because the long waiting online investments services for ASNB had been made available since now via Maybank2u.com and CIMB Clicks. Currently, only 5 funds managed by ASNB are able to be transacting online. These include:

-          Amanah Saham Bumiputra ( ASB )

-          Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 ( ASW / ASW 2020 )

-          Amanah Saham Didik ( ASD )

-          Amanah Saham Malaysia ( ASM )

-          Amanah Saham 1 Malaysia ( AS1M )

However, the online services offered are not in live-time. Meaning you might have to wait for 1 day before you can know your status of investment application. Besides, there is with service charge applied, and the service charge is not refundable even your investment application is rejected.

As for current, ASW 2020 , ASM and ASD are all fully subscribed . AS1M is still available for Bumiputeras, Indians and Minorities. And ASB is only available for Bumiputeras.
