Was just informed by my dearest Lil Mom that PNB will be launching additional units for its two funds - the Amanah SahamWawasan 2020 and Amanah Saham Malaysia – on March 12. A total of 800 million units on ASM and 1 billion units on ASW 2020 will be added.
Don’t lose the opportunity to invest in one of the hottest, most wanted Unit trust in Malaysia.

Let’s Compare our ASB Plan
The last post about ASB is getting too long. So here I dedicated a post for visitors’ ASB/other investment plan. The main purpose is to share and discuss about ones’ method. If we got enough examples, we might know which one is better. Here I list some example from some readers.
ayie:
Loan=$20k
Duration= 20 years
Monthly Payment= $157 + 100 extra investment
1) loan method –> Balance after 20 years: $155,726.08
2) Conventional –> Balance after 20 years: $149,149.98
Difference = $6,576.10 (4.409% increase in 20 years)
Mýr
Loan=$10k
Duration= 10 years
Monthly Payment= $115 + 100 extra investment
1) loan method –> Balance after 10 years: $39,411.00
2) Conventional –> Balance after 10 years: $38,474.00
Difference =$937.00 (2.435% increase in 10 years)
Now it’s your turn. Grab this calculator and post what you got. Or you could just give the detail and I will calculate for you.

My last ASB calculator doesn’t calculate the bonus for ASB. In this new version, I implemented an extra algorithm to include the bonus. If you find any glitch or error, please let me know

11 August – My current Journey
Posted by Irwan in Anatomy of Investment, ASB, Daily Blog on August 11, 2006
Well, I’m still not far from my starting point. Right now, my investment is still on Mutual fund (including ASB). Talking about ASB, I just opened my account 2 days ago at Maybank Branch. I will reduce my monthly contribution in Public Mutual’s Funds, and give a larger percentage to ASB. This is to build a larger foundation (less risky investment) in my portfolio. One more reason is, I don’t have the access to my Public Mutual when I’m in oversea. Thus Public Mutual is a bit riskier for me.
I’m trying to find some books on Real Estate investment. If you have some books that you want to recommend for me, don’t forget to leave me your comment.
