ASB – Take a loan to Invest?


This is my analysis of investing using loan. As some of you might know, investing on loan is quite popular among Malaysians. Even some banks make a fully describing brochures to attract people. One of the main confusions is the monthly pay. I noticed some banks use lower monthly payment but here, I’m going to use standard BLR + 0.4% as the interest rate which is 6.9%. Some calculations are done with the help of online calculator. There are a lot of methods to invest using loan. I will just analyse the ones that I think the best.

Update: Too tired of numbers? Use my simplify ASB calculator instead.

If you would like to share your ASB investment plan, here is the place


The data that I used in this calculation is as follow:
Interest Rate:6.9%
Dividend Rate:7%
Lending Terms: 10 years


Loan Method 1:
Dividend will be used to buy more ASB shares

Monthly Payment = $587 (using online calculator)
Conventional Method 1: Invest $587 monthly for 10 years in ASB


Verdict:
Loan Method :Total Investment at the end = $98357 ( 39.63%)
Conventional Method:Total Investment at the end = $103888 ( 47.48%)
Total Cost: $587 x 120 = $70440


Loan Method 2 :
Dividend will be used to pay monthly loan payment.

Monthly loan payment minus Monthtly Dividen = 587 – 291.66 =$295.33
VS. Conventional Method 2 : Invest $587 monthly for 12 months, and $295.33 for 108 months


Verdict:

Loan Method :Total Investment at the end = 50,000 ( 28.40%)
Conventional Method:Total Investment at the end = 58884 (51.22%)
Total Cost: ($587 x 12) + (295.33 x 108) =38939.64

BLR (Base Lending Rate) – A minimum interest rate set by Bank Negara. It will change over time and not fixed.

Dividend – Distribution of earnings to shareholder. ASB’s dividend is around 7-8% each year.

    Salam to irwan.biz,

    Just visiting your website, and would like to give feedbacks.

    I don’t like the idea to make personal loan, then invest in ASB. One of the main reason is you’ll have difficulty to maintain monthly payment to the financial instutions/bankers, and believe me, no bank programs that offered by them will make them lose. :)

    If we have a good discipline, sure we will achieve better results with our own hard-earned money.

    cheers

    Salam,

    Consistent monthly payment deposited into ASB account will outdone any loan. Entering any ASB-Scheme loan only mean working for bank. Btw, if you are going to make monthly payment to pay for your ASB loan, why not put the money into your savings then?!

    [Reply]

  6. #6 by nOg on September 15, 2006 - 2:23 pm

    Hi,

    I personally think that ASB is a good scheme. I don’t think Bank Negara would released such scheme if its bring no good to the public. However based on my calculation I found that the more you borrow (more than 50k) the higher the return you will get compare to personal saving.

    Committing to a monthly saving is not an easy task. I dont think I can make such committment if not because of the loan agreement. In a way its discipline me.

    I also think that an investor need to be clear the objective of his investment. There are many products out there in the market that can help you reach your end meets. Putting all eggs in one basket is certainly not a good thing. Always remember the concept of OPM and High Risk High Return!!

    Cheers

    There are various investment products out there in the market.

    You have to remember that interest on the loan is based on BLR. If Bank Negara decides to raise the BLR to curb inflation, you might lose out. Its actually very simple really: as long as ASB dividends > interest on loan you’ll come out on top.

    But then there are also several catches. If you take a loan from Maybank, they’ll charge you extra for insurance. Basically if anything happens to you (i.e. you kick the bucket) then the insurance will cover the loan and your relatives wont have to worry about the debt. I don’t know if you can opt out of the insurance scheme, but it does add to the cost of the loan.

    Also, I could never figure out how Maybank calculated the interest on the loan. The loan I took is suppose to be fixed 4.5% interest for the first year, BLR-0.5% the second year and BLR+0.4% for the subsequent years. But the amount of interest Maybank charged me was never consistent and never tallied up to my calculations (e.g. one month it was lower, the next slightly higher, then lower again – shouldn’t the interest charged get lower after every passing month because of the payments I made?). I couldn’t get a decent answer from the people at the Maybank branch so I canceled the loan.

    Furthermore, as Irwan stated, the interest on ASB is around 7%-8% (higher if you have invested longer because of the bonus – read the prospectus if you don’t know what I’m talking about). But the interest on the loan is around 6-7%. IMHO I don’t think that paltry 1% is worth the trouble of taking the loan. And remember, the interest is based on BLR – it can go down, but it can go up too.

    Finally, there’s something called opportunity cost that most people just don’t consider. Think of it this way – the money that you have to use to pay the loan can’t be used for something else. What if your car breaks down, or you need to fix the leaking roof, or your child gets sick, or you want to buy some new clothes? The money you use to pay for the loan can’t be used for these other things, and you loose a lot of flexibility because you have to service the loan each month. And what if you want to take another loan to buy a house for your family or a new car? The banks won’t look upon you favorably if you have too many loans.

    Well, at the end of the day I suppose it’s what people want to do with their money. To each his own, but this is my opinion on the matter.

  10. #10 by nuzz on October 16, 2006 - 1:40 pm

    That correct, I’m on Maybank loan now.. its around 8% per annum (+/-) and the ASB bonus is around that figure also.
    The reason i’m taking loan is that I dont have much in my ASB, before the loan, I got only 1K+ .
    So, I take up 20K loan, pay 150 / month. (For the capital)
    plus, I bank in around 100 or 200/month in ASB + my year end bonus.
    First year, my account after the bonus from ASB I got 27K (good bonus).
    2nd year, (this year) before the company bonus I already got 30K & hopefully can add some after my company bonus.
    I want to reach 50K as early as 2008 and now seems that i’t still within reach..
    If i’m saving 200/month + 3000 or so from my bonuses for sure I cant get 50K by that time.
    So.. That is my 2 cents..

    Hi Penemu Lama,

    it’s normal to be confused in this loan idea. To be honest, I’m confused too. One thing that confused me the most is the monthly payment that borrowers pay to bank. It way low than I think it should. I have no experience in making up a loan, so I can’t argue much about it.

    in your case Penemu, if you invest normally RM79 per month you will have RM40,643 after 20 years

    and in Nuzz case, RM150 per month will fruit RM77,170 after 20 years.

    If you think loan investing will give you more, then continue with it.

    Dear Irwan,

    Glad to hear your comment…
    I like a lot about financial and economic matter but then i`m in other course speciality. Anyway..i`m really appreaciate the comment that you have give to me.
    When we talk about money…everybody seems to see us like “materialistic” but i don`t care about it. It is our goal.

    Back to our dicussion…that`s mean i should get RM40,643 if i save the money in ASB without using ASB loan?
    Or do you mean that..i`m having “rugi besar” if i`m taking the Maybank ASB Loan.

    Can you give a feed back about this matter…

    Penemu Lama,
    do you want to keep the ASB as it is or you would like to top-up with your extra money.
    like my case, the margin of Bank interest and ASB bonus is so small and sometime you would have to pay the bank more that you recieve.
    If you want to just pay (invest) only 79 / month the loan would just be wasting your money. you’ll get even more by saving your own money monthly, but if you are thinking of using the ASB loan as a capital and top-up more with your own extra money it would be worth it.

    Keep in mind, Bank loan is based on the capital and ASB bonuses is based on you account balance. the more you have in the account the better.

    Like Irwan stated, 150/month for 20 years can go up to 77,170 but if I manage to add my ASB account to be 30K by the third year & 50K by the fifth year, I would reach 70K easily even without adding more extra money.

    I hope that make you clearer on this matter.

    penemu lama,

    after making recalculation, it turns out nuzz’s plan (20k loan capital plus self-invest of RM150 permonth + RM3000 peryear) is comparable with the conventional method. By the end of 20 years (by the time the loan finished), Nuzz actually will earn about RM 1000 more from conventional method ( RM302500 vs RM301700). i will upload the amortization table later.

    I will confirm all of this later, i got test today…haha

    ada kelemahan in your “Loan Method 1″ calculation.

    assuming you are paying 587p.m. to service the loan, it is relevant 4 u 2 deduct the same amount every month from the ASB balance.

    e.g. if the opening balance is 50k, then the lowest amount for the first month that you need to use as part of the ASB annual dividend calculation is 50k-587=49413, not 50k. subsequently every month will be less and less by 587 until the loan balance in zero.

    in other words, the profit ratio for “Loan Method 1″ should be much2 less than 39.63%

    try wiki “opportunity cost” to understand more about relevant costs.

    do tell me what you guys think

    [Reply]

  22. #22 by Irwan on November 13, 2006 - 5:50 am

    I’m assuming that for both “loan method 1″ and “conventional method 1″ investors will have to use their own money which is RM587 for each month. So for the Loan Method 1, the money that used to pay the loan comes from the inventor.

    That way, we can compare the performance of each method by using the same capital which is RM587 each month, for both Loan and Conventional Method.

    RHB had ASB loan at BLR – 0.49% I think.

    My question, if you have extra money, would you pay down loan to save interest and shorten the tenure of loan or pay ASB?

    [Reply]

  32. #32 by Irwan on January 9, 2007 - 7:49 pm

    This is my opinion. (I called it opinion because I haven’t done any relevant calculation)

    By taking loan, you are actually buying the ‘time value of money’ by paying for the interest. And by using that money to invest (in ASB in this case), you sell back the ‘time value of money’ for better return. It’s a kind of buy-low-sell-high kind of business. So, paying back the bank to shorten the loan (or to save interest) is comparable to returning goods back to suppliers instead of selling to customers.

    It’s interesting to note that sometimes, investing is a very counter-intuitive field.

    So I suggest you to put your extra money into ASB instead of shorten your loan. As I said earlier, I came to this without any hard proof.

    And by the way, most loan have different BLR for each year, just make sure that low BLR is not just for the first year only.

    [Reply]

    Lyna reply on December 3rd, 2008:

    Dear friend,

    The best thing you can do is to invest your extra money into ASB instead of you shorten your loan. Lets the loan and your monthly payment remain as it is. You can shorten your time to achieve the maximum amount of your ASB income (RM200,000.00) with your saving and your loan provided you don’t withdraw your dividen for at least 5 years. I am working on it now… Let us try.

    Sijil adalah milik nama kita, tapi bank ada surat kuasa untuk jual.. sijil nie lebih kurang bankers bond laa.. leh transferable.. nak buat antaran kawen pon boleeehhhh…

    So.. kalau nak buat full settlement, bank selalu tak galakan.. dia akan suruh jual sijil (amik masa dalam 2 minggu – sebulan) pastu dia akan potong jumlah belen loan dari situ…

    pasal duit plak.. sijil tu takleh kluar.. sebab memang takan ada dalam buku pon.. buku just tunjuk cash ja.. masa kira dividen tahunan tetiba ja ada jumlah simpanan termasuk sijil…

    boleh kluar cuma cash (Bonus / duit simpanan sendiri)..
    selamat menyimpan.. bagus untuk masa depan, yang penting jangan plak enjoy sakan bila dapat bonus tiap tahun.

    Pada pendapat dan pengalaman saya, setiap individu yang membuat loan untuk invest pada ASB skim akan mendapat keuntungan yang amat menggalakkan provided dividen yang diterima setiap tahun tidak dikeluarkan untuk tempoh sekurang-kurangnya 5 tahun dari tahun loan dibuat. Dividen yang diterima perlu dikekalkan dalam simpanan sebagai ‘capital’ kepada simpanan anda dan ianya akan meransang perkembangan simpanan anda.

    Assalamualaikum.

    Topik melabur dalam ASB melalui pinjaman ni menarik jugak. Cuma nak clearkan lagi jawapan nuzz di atas. Apabila kita buat pinjaman ASB dengan mana2 bank, bank akan membeli sijil ASB atas nama kita berdasarkan jumlah yang dipinjam, contoh RM20k. Kemudian, bank akan inform kepada PNB yang sijil berkenaan dicagarkan kepada bank dan PNB akan blocked sijil berkenaan supaya ia tidak boleh dijual semula. Blocking itu akan dilepaskan apabila menerima arahan dari bank, biasanya dalam 2 keadaan. 1. Peminjam buat full settlement 2. Peminjam tak boleh bayar loannya, bank akan jual sijil berkenaan. Kemudian, alamat peminjam seperti yang ada di dalam buku ASB anda akan ditukar kepada alamat bank bagi memastikan sijil berkenaan dipos ke alamat bank. Sesudah sijil itu selamat diterima oleh pihak bank, ia akan dijadikan sekuriti atas pinjaman (seperti geran tanah & rumah anda). Selepas itu, alamat anda akan ditukarkan semula ke alamat sebenar anda.

    Menyentuh tentang baik buruk buat loan ini, terpulang kepada masing2. Bagaimanapun, kalau anda tanyakan kepada mana2 ejen saham amanah, pelaburan melalui pinjaman adalah tidak digalakkan sama sekali. Risikonya adalah, sekiranya anda tidak mampu membayar pinjaman anda terutamanya dalam masa tahun2 awal pinjaman anda, walaupun sesudah bank menjual semula sijil anda, anda akan masih lagi terhutang dengan bank. Perlu diingat, apapun jua pinjaman yang diambil, saya boleh katakan 2 tahun pertama, anda cuma membayar faedah pinjaman dan jumlah pokok hanya akan dibayar perlahan2 pada tahun ketiga. Itu sebabnya bagi anda yang mengambil pinjaman, anda dikehendaki menandatangani PENYATA PENDEDAHAN RISIKO sebagaimana disyaratkan oleh Suruhanjaya Sekuriti. Ia adalah tanggungjawab pegawai institusi pinjaman untuk menerangkan kepada anda risiko yang perlu anda tanggung. Sekiranya anda tidak diterangkan oleh pegawai bertanggungjawab, anda berhak mengadu kepada Suruhanjaya di atas dan tindakan boleh diambil kepada institusi dan pegawai bertanggungjawab kerana kesalahan ini adalah amat serius.

    salah satu tips utk gandakan/maximumkan loan ASB ialah guna duit sendiri along with the loan. I actually don’t know why it’s so. But from my calculation and others opinions, it seems to work.

    ASB ni x lah macam saham sgt, sebab saham tu ade naik turun harge. Bile harge naik, kite jual dapat untung.

    Tapi ASB ni stay RM1 seunit. Stiap taun PNB akan bgtau dividend ngan bonus rate. so kite dapat untung dari dividend.

    camne keuntungan dikire: http://www.irwan.biz/how-to-calculate-asb-dividend-and-bonus/

    Dear all,

    Hi there, i wanna ask about this ASB thing, say that i pinjam 100k for 10yrs, can i take kluar the balance (bonus) after say maybe 3 years? (Since I know that i cannot take the 100k only after 10yrs rite? :) ) Which means that can I take 20k after 3 yrs? (since lepas 3 yrs bonus ade 20++) Is this possible? Help thanks

    hi mr tswenahir,

    watever amounts u pay to ur ASB Loan , u cant withdraw it out…until u settle all the payments. The only thing u can withdraw is ur dividend n bonus with u can see it clear in ur ASB passbook.
    hope it will make u clear.
