Unit Trust. Why it doesn't make sense to time the Markets?

By Datuk Noripah Kamso 
Published: 2008/10/17


NEWS on rising oil prices, rising cost of living, subprime lending, a weaker US dollar and even the local political scene is understandably making many investors anxious. In these situations, investors often succumb to their fears, disrupt their portfolios, and question their long-term financial plans. These trying times, however, can mould investors to become better informed and more disciplined. 

Volatility, or wide, rapid swings in equity prices, is an inherent part of investing. It takes courage, discipline and foresight to remain invested in the market, especially when the urge to avoid financial pain is strong. Investors may be prone to sell in a volatile market because they think they can wait until the market settles lower and go back in when the market starts to recover. This strategy seems to make common sense.

The problem is when investors sell, they can increase their chances of missing the major market movements that signal the start of a longer recovery. Many of these major upside moves can happen quickly, often in just a few days. To avoid missing these key days, investors should consider staying invested and not panic-sell.

Let's look at our analysis of what would happen if an investor missed out on 50 of the best trading days on Bursa Malaysia, as measured by the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI). How would that have affected his or her gains over the last 15 years?

The results are enlightening: 
* Missing even five of the best trading days results in negative returns of 17.39 per cent.
* Miss the 10 best trading days and the loss almost triples to 49.13 per cent.
* Miss the 30 best trading days and the loss soars to 83.07 per cent. This represents just 30 days out of approximately 3807 trading days in total, or merely 0.79 per cent of the total trading days 
* However, an investor who remained invested throughout the last 15 years enjoyed returns of 82.25 per cent.

An investor might then wonder: "But what if I'm able to avoid the worst days? That would surely help me get potentially better returns."

So now, our analysis turns to what would happen if an investor managed to avoid the worst trading days of the KLCI. How would that have affected the potential returns over the last 15 years?

The results are equally fascinating: 
* Remaining invested through- out the last 15 years gives returns of 82.25 per cent.
* Avoiding just the five worst trading days results in positive returns of 260.15 per cent.
* Avoid the 10 worst trading days and the gain jumps to 413.62 per cent.
* Avoid the 50 worst trading days and the returns are a phenomenal 3266.59 per cent.

However, it is important to note that 50 out of about 3,807 trading days represent only 1.3 per cent. Would an investor have the foresight, expertise and skill to identify the 50 worst performing days over the last 15 years, ahead of time?

Let's recap the lessons from these scenarios and results: 

Missing the Best Trading Days
* Missing just the five best trading days over the last 15 years results in a cumulative negative return of 17.39 per cent.
* Missing the 50 best trading days over the last 15 years results in a cumulative negative return of 92.50 per cent.
Avoiding the Worst Trading Days
* Avoiding the 50 worst trading days over the last 15 years results in cumulative returns of 3266.59 per cent. The probability of this happening is one out of 10179, an unimaginable number.
* Not avoiding the worst trading days in the last 15 years will still yield cumulative returns of 82.25 per cent.

Historical results have shown that timing the market, in the hopes of avoiding negative returns over the long-term, doesn't make much sense for the average investor. The downside in not remaining invested over the last 15 years - even for only the best five days - is a lot higher (-17.39 per cent) than staying invested through all the worst trading days over the last 15 years (82.25 per cent).

This illustrates why it is vital for investors to remain invested in equity funds as part of their long-term portfolio asset allocation and why they should not try to time the market.

Staying invested during difficult times, however, requires investors to confront their emotions during volatile periods and control the urge to sell or reduce their equity holdings.

Unit Amanah. Apa Itu Compound Interest?

Sedikit maklumat berkenaan compounding di dalam pelaburan ataupun simpanan.
Secara ringkas compound interest adalah interest yang dikenakan ke atas simpanan+interest.
lagi banyak dan lagi lama anda menyimpan, kadar peningkatan keuntungan akan lebih banyak dan lebih cepat. kadar pergerakan keuntungan adalah seperti di graf di bawah. Tahun 1-5, peningkatan graf agak mendatar. Tetapi dari tahun ke 6 peningkatan graf adalah lebih cepat. Lebih info, boleh baca dengan lebih lanjut dari penerangan di bawah.

Dari http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-compound-interest.htm

Compound interest is interest calculated on the principal amount invested, which is then added to the principal amount, and compounded again. Compound interest can be earned daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Generally the more times an amount is compounded, the more money you can make.

As long as you leave an interest earning account alone, by not removing money from it, you begin making more money on your investment (given a stable interest rate) because the money you earn is added back to the principle amount. It’s a simple fact that more money earninginterest makes you more money. Each time interest is compounded, the money earned gets added to the total.

If you were raising two rabbits, you might view a similar thing. If the bunnies produced a litter, and you kept all those bunnies, then you might have possibly eight rabbits. The original bunnies would keep on breeding, as would the new litter, and you’d end up with more rabbits then you knew what to do with. Compound interest won’t be quite that dramatic, unless you’re investing huge sums of money. The important parallel is that the first pair of bunnies (your original investment) and their offspring (interest) now combine together to produce yet more bunnies, and as combined, they will produce a great deal more than if they were sold off and separated.

Dari http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/compoundinterest.asp

What Does Compound Interest Mean?
Interest that accrues on the initial principal and the accumulated interest of a principal deposit, loan or debt. Compounding of interest allows a principal amount to grow at a faster rate than simple interest, which is calculated as a percentage of only the principal amount. 

Investopedia explains Compound Interest
The more frequently interest is added to the principal, the faster the principal grows and the higher the compound interest will be. The frequency at which the interest is compounded is established at the initial stages of securing the loan. Generally, interest tends to be calculated on an annual basis, although other terms may be established at the time of the loan.

Last week, this column mentioned that the FBM KLCI was likely to stage a gradual rebound over the next five trading days. It did. Heavyweight index-linked counters were said to be likely to provide the momentum in lifting the FBM KLCI. It did that too.

The benchmark index is likely to alternate between consolidations and mild technical rebounds. Second and third liners will continue to consolidate recent rebound gains.

Next week, the FBM KLCI's envisaged resistance zone is at the 1,539 to 1,573 levels while its immediate downside support is at the 1,496 to 1,530 levels.

Unit Trust. Healthy wealth management

> In this age of instant everything, we often look for a quick fix to all issues, including our physical well-being or financial woes
By: Tan Beng Wah (Thu, 03 Mar 2011) 



BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, the famous American of the 18th century, was a diplomat, philosopher and inventor. Above all, he was fantastic at multi-tasking.Amazingly, this super-achiever was the one to coin the phrase: "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise." Franklin obviously had the foresight to recognise the causal link between health and wealth.
However, humans are creatures of contradictions. We know the "damage" caused by habits like smoking, over-eating and drinking, but many of us still continue to indulge in them. As these unhealthy habits eat into our financial and physical health, many of us justify our actions by saying that they help to relieve stress.
More often than not, we spend too much on things we do not need or cannot afford. This is evidenced by the fact that each day, 41 Malaysians on average become bankrupt due to credit card debts, and defaulting in repayments of car and housing loans.
The average person today between the age of 41 and 54 has savings of only around RM30,000. Some 14% of people in that age group have no savings at all.
How do we then achieve a balance between living a long life and being healthy, wealthy and wise?
In this modern age, we often look for a quick fix to all of life’s issues and vanity is a champion instigator of the quick-fix remedy. Despite the dangers of crash diets and slimming pills, many still believe that it will help them shed those extra kilos quickly.
But nothing can replace the good old prescription of regular exercise and a balanced and controlled diet to maintain a healthy figure.
Some would go in search of a miracle cure for beauty. They put themselves at risk of being permanently disfigured by paying money to reshape their bodies. Many men and women fall into these makeover traps to achieve super figures or look more youthful.
Similarly, despite the negative publicity on get-rich-quick schemes, many people are still gullible enough to fall prey to them.
It is important to realise that there is no quick fix to either attaining good health or accumulating wealth.
A healthy state of wealth can be achieved by regularly setting aside a portion of your income for investment. Use this knowledge to empower yourself to lead healthier lives and achieve a state of financial freedom.
If you are seeking total financial freedom through financial wealth management, you need to engage a professional financial planner to conduct a check on the health of your wealth.
Break out of your comfort zone and don’t wait for that life-changing moment before carrying out a health check on your wealth. The earlier you consult a professional financial planner, the better your chances are in achieving your financial goals.
A financial planner is, after all, a trained expert who can help you plan your short-and long-term financial needs. This is important as the processes take into account your needs, risk tolerance and life financial goals according to your investment time-frame.
For investments, financial planners use their knowledge to create a personalised wealth management plan with a diversified portfolio of investments within different asset classes, with the right proportion, based on your risk tolerance. They will continuously rebalance your portfolio and grow your investments to leverage the state of your wealth.
They can help you manage your investments according to your intentions, by helping to put into effect various financial instruments such as a will or trust document, to protect your interest.
Financial planners will also help you manage risks due to disability and illnesses in order to protect the interests of those who depend on you if you are no longer around or if you are disabled.
Do not expect your financial planner to work miracles. As with any holistic programme, when it comes to ensuring a constant healthy state of wealth, you still need to regularly feed your investments to see your wealth grow.
What your financial planner can do is help to ensure that the wealth you create is regularly invested so that you will achieve financial freedom eventually.
Ultimately, it boils down to moderation and balance. More people are now realising the importance of a balanced lifestyle to maintain good health.
Similarly, balance is also important when it comes to wealth management. Just as stress is not good for our health, neither is stress good for wealth management.
Call in a financial planner to take the stress out of balancing your portfolio and keeping your investments healthy.

Ramai hutang kad kredit, bank untuk jelas kos perubatan swasta tinggi

KUALA LUMPUR: Penggunaan kad kredit atau pinjaman bank untuk membayar kos perubatan yang tinggi di hospital swasta kini menjadi punca utama kegagalan pembayaran balik pinjaman bank dan kad kredit oleh individu.

Mengikut Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) penggunaan kad kredit tidak terkawal kini bukan lagi menjadi faktor utama bagi masalah kegagalan pembayaran balik pinjaman.

Sebaliknya, badan yang menguruskan RM4.8 bilion hutang tidak berbayar (NPL) membabitkan 50,361 individu itu mendapati pembiayaan kos rawatan dan perubatan yang tinggi ketika ini mendorong individu untuk berhutang sehingga di luar kemampuan.

Ketua Eksekutifnya, Mohamed Akwal Sultan, berkata kebanyakan individu yang dirujuk kepada Program Pengurusan Kredit (PPK) AKPK menjelaskan, mereka lebih cenderung mendapatkan perkhidmatan rawatan dan perubatan yang dikatakan lebih baik di hospital swasta berbanding di hospital kerajaan walaupun ia membabitkan kos besar.

“Setakat Oktober lalu, 26 peratus kegagalan pembayaran balik pinjaman langsung bank atau kad kredit yang dirujuk kepada AKPK adalah perbelanjaan perubatan tinggi disebabkan kos sara hidup semakin meningkat.

“Penggunaan kad kredit tidak terkawal tidak lagi menjadi faktor utama kegagalan seperti pada dua atau tiga tahun lalu,” katanya kepada Berita Harian.
Beliau berkata, selain kos perubatan tinggi, punca lain yang dirujuk kepada agensi itu ialah kelemahan pengurusan kewangan (25 peratus), kegagalan perniagaan (13 peratus), kehilangan pekerjaan (12 peratus), manakala dua peratus akibat kegagalan pelaburan.

Penggunaan kad kredit tidak terkawal pula, katanya, hanya mewakili 15 peratus.
Katanya, hampir 70 peratus kes gagal membayar balik pinjaman itu adalah membabitkan penggunaan kad kredit, manakala 30 peratus lagi pinjaman peribadi serta sewa beli.

Daripada RM4.8 bilion NPL yang diuruskan AKPK ketika ini, Mohamed Akwal berkata, RM2 bilion membabitkan pinjaman perumahan diikuti kad kredit (RM1.1 bilion) serta sewa beli sebanyak RM713 juta.

Katanya, jumlah itu membabitkan kira-kira 40 peratus daripada keseluruhan 135,805 individu yang datang ke AKPK untuk mendapatkan perkhidmatan kaunseling serta khidmat nasihat berhubung pengurusan kredit.

Beliau berkata, tahun ini saja 25,353 individu memohon khidmat nasihat serta bantuan AKPK dan hanya 13,017 dirujuk kepada program PPK, antaranya bagi penstrukturan semula pinjaman.

Bagaimanapun tahun lalu, katanya, 36,848 individu tampil dan 16,184 daripadanya mengikuti program berkenaan.

“Tahun lalu, lebih ramai mendapatkan bantuan daripada AKPK kerana krisis ekonomi yang melanda. Namun, mulai Oktober tahun lalu, keadaan ekonomi mula pulih. Pengurangan individu ini menunjukkan keadaan ekonomi kita semakin baik dan mereka juga ke arah pengurusan kewangan yang baik,” katanya.

Setakat Oktober lalu, sebanyak 423 kes membabitkan pinjaman berjumlah kira-kira RM12 juta berjaya diselesaikan AKPK, berbanding 143 kes dengan jumlah pinjaman RM3.7 juta pada tempoh sama tahun lalu.

“Kami menyelesaikan kira-kira 40 kes sebulan bayaran balik pinjaman kepada bank kerana kebanyakan yang mengikuti PPK sudah mampu menyelesaikan pinjaman lebih awal daripada tempoh maksimum 10 tahun yang diberikan,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, mereka yang berpendapatan kurang RM2,000 sebulan adalah kumpulan paling teruk terjejas dengan masalah kewangan, mewakili kira-kira 40 peratus daripada 50,361 individu yang menyertai PPK.

Katanya, AKPK yang ditubuhkan sejak April 2006 setakat ini menganjurkan lebih 520 taklimat berhubung pengurusan kredit di seluruh negara.

Unit Trust. FBM KLCI Futures Set To Rebound

Some information regarding Malaysia future market. From NST Business Times. 18 April 2011

THE FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) futures April contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives closed lower at 1,519 with open interests of 20,957 contracts last week.

The April contract plunged to a new low when it fell below the support at 1,550 last week. The fall failed to arrest the selling pressure as shortists rampaged in the market. The trading band widened to 40 points, between a high of 1,554.50 and a low of 1,510.50.

Corrective pressure continued to weigh on the futures market as the spot contract raced to a low of 1,510.5 last Thursday. The spot contract has yet to make a clear break below the 1,500 support line as it remains supported above the daily lower Bollinger band.

Rejection of the high last week has permitted bearish elements to seep back into the market, igniting some concern over the medium-term range. The absence of a formidable rebound last week has pushed sideways consolidation aside, leaving behind remnants of the selling pressure. By Friday, the oscillators had already retraced to the boundary of the oversold, providing a platform for rebound play this week. 

Firm recovery signals have not been spotted on the weekly charts as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) seems to be initiating a negative crossover albeit at a slower pace. With weekly oscillators easing further from neutral territory, concerns may be reignited over a continuing dip into the oversold as momentum slows.

Tactically, the spot contract may try to rebound with renewed vigour. This may lead buying interest back into the market, as the confirmation of a negative signal is still absent from the daily MACD. For this reason, we see the spot contract remaining within the boundary of the lower and mid Bollinger lines of 1,497 and 1,537 respectively

Technical reports

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains positive with the faster above the signal line. Both lines remain at the positive region.

The daily Relative Strength Index closed at the neutral .

The daily Commodity Channel Index finished at the neutral.

RHB Unit Trust. Rancang Kewangan Seawal Usia

Dipetik Dari : Seminar Pelaburan 360 hari ASNB , Sinar Harian Ahad 17 April 2011.

Ramai beranggapan masa sesuai untuk merancang kewangan adalah apabila mempunyai pendapatan sendiri. Lebih buruk lagi, ada yang merancang ketika melangkah ke usia persaraan. Realitinya, perancangan kewangan boleh dimulakan seawal mungkin walaupun belum mempunyai sumber pendapatan yang tetap.

Perancangan kewangan pada awal usia mempunyai banyak kelebihan. Justeru, tiada istilah terlalu awal merancang kewangan. Manfaat merancang kewangan di usia merupakan antara topic yang dibincangkan di Seminar Pelaburan 360 Hari di Maktab Rendah Sains MARA, Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan.

Peserta ditekankan agar merancang dahulu sebelum timbulnya keperluan. Lazimnya, setiap orang menyimpan setelah berdepan dengan keperluan untuk memiliki sesuatu.

Apabila kita hanya mula merancang ketika melalui keadaan sempit sebegini, pastinya kita rasa terbeban. Jika kita telah mempunyai wang kerana telah merancang lebih awal, wang itu boleh digunakan pada waktu yang diperlukan.

Apa yang lebih menarik, merancang lebih awal memberi kelebihan dari segi masa dan nilai wang. Ini bermakna kita mempunyai masa yang lebih panjang untuk menyimpan bagi mencapai matlamat yang diinginkan. Malah jumlah pulangan simpanan uang dibuat juga lebih tinggi.

Golongan pelajar juga mampu memainkan peranan ini sedari awal. Sungguhpun jumlah yang disimpan adalah kecil, ia merangsang usaha membudayakan amalan ini sepanjang hayat.

Kata pepatah, ‘sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit’. Dengan lebihan wang daripada perbelanjaan bulanan, wang ini disimpan atau dilaburkan bagi memenuhi pelbagai keperluan masa depan.

Unit Amanah. Kenapa Gagal Dalam Pelaburan Unit Amanah?

1. Kurang maklumat atau pendedahan tentang pelaburan Unit Amanah.

Kebanyakkan pelabur tidak memahami dengan jelas konsep-konsep dalam pelaburan unit amanah. Dan ini menyumbang kepada kegagalan pelaburan para pelabur tersebut. Hubungi agen-agen unit amanah atau pun mana-mana cawangan untuk pemahaman yang lebih. Sentiasa berkomunikasi dan bertanyakan soalan tentang unit amanah kepada agen-agen anda.

2. Tak sabar. Nakkan keuntungan segera.

Faktor yang paling popular. Memang satu sifat manusia mahukan sesuatu dengan cepat. Ini pun sudah pasti berlaku dalam pelaburan unit amanah. Bagi pelaburan unit amanah, pulangan keuntungan paling cepat pun mengambil masa 3 tahun. Lagi lama anda simpan di dalam unit amanah, maka pulangan sudah pasti lagi tinggi.

3. Samakan unit amanah dengan saham.

Antara perkara berbangkit yang sering ditanya kepada agen-agen unit amanah adalah anggapan sesetengan pelabur yang menyamakan secara terus pelaburan unit amanah dengan pelaburan saham. Ini adalah tidak betul. Modal yang anda laburkan dalam unit amanah akan dilaburkan dalam saham-saham syarikat yang tersenarai di bursa saham. Bagaimanapun tidak semua modal akan digunakan untuk pembelian saham. Pengurus dana akan melaburkan pada sebahagian ke dalam bon atau pasaran wang yang berjangka masa pendek. Orang yang menganggap pelaburan unit amanah adalah seperti saham akan lebih berminat  membuat belian dan jualan balik unit-unit dana dalam jangka masa yang singkat. Niat nak ambil untung pada perubahan harga. Ini sudah salah memandangkan pelaburan unit amanah lebih fokus kepada berapa banyak aset yang dana tersebut miliki dan pendapatan terjana daripada aset-aset tersebut akan diagih-agihkan dalam bentuk dividen dan bonus bukan pada perubahan harganya semata-mata.

4. Lewat untuk bermula.

Satu lagi sebab kenapa ada jugak yang mengalami kerugian dalam pelaburan jenis ini adalah kerana lambat untuk bermula. Seperti kita sedia maklum, pelaburan unit trust amat sinonim dengan prinsip compound interest yang bergerak seiring dengan masa. Jika anda inginkan RM 1 juta semasa berumur 60 tahun nanti tetapi mahu bermula melabur dalam unit trust pada umur 55 memang terang lagi bersuluh anda takkan dapat mencapai matlamat kewangan tersebut. 

5. Suka dengar cakap orang.

Ini juga salah satu faktor kenapa ada jugak orang rugi dalam pelaburan unit amanah. Selalu sangat suka dengar cakap-cakap orang terutamanya kawan-kawan. Kalau kawan-kawan tu pakar dalam bidang unit trust tak mengapa la jugak. Tapi asas pelaburan unit trust pun tak pernah tahu. Kebiasaanya, apabila para pelabur lebih peka kepada cadangan kawan-kawan mereka cenderung untuk membuat keputusan melulu dalam pelaburan. Sebagai contoh, si A mendengar kawannya mengatakan bahawa kiamat akan berlaku 2012 ni berdasarkan filem 2012 (contoh je) dan menganggap bahawa pasaran saham akan merudum teruk pada waktu itu. Si A apa lagi mula la panik tak menentu dan cepat-cepat buat jualan balik pelaburannya sedangkan baru 2010 dan belum sahih lagi perkara yang diperkatakan akan berlaku. Begitulah betapa kuatnya pengaruh cakap2 orang lain.

6. Terpesong daripada objektif asal.
Faktor yang keenam pula lebih berkisar kepada tersasar daripada matlamat atau objektif asal pelaburan yang telah dilakukan. Sebagai contohnya, objektif asal pelaburan adalah untuk membiayai kos pendidikan anak-anak apabila telah sampai masanya mereka masuk universiti. Tetapi, objektif pelaburan tiba-tiba berubah untuk membeli kereta idaman ataupun rumah yang lebih besar dan mewah. Sememangnya, tidak salah dan tidak mengalami kerugian duit tetapi ruginya adalah apabila telah tiba masa anak-anak ingin menjejakkan kaki ke universiti duit untuk menampung kos pengajian mereka telah tiada. Jangan terlalu bergantung pada PTPTN, polisinya boleh berubah pada bila-bila masa.


7. Bergantung pada konsultan yang tidak terlatih.

Satu lagi penyebab kerugian dalam pelaburan adalah apabila para pelabur terlalu bergantung pada konsultan yang tidak terlatih. Buat masa ini, terdapat lebih daripada 90,000 konsultan unit amanah yang mewakili 47 buah syarikat unit amanah swasta. Dalam jumlah yang seramai itu, tidak ramai yang kompeten dalam bidang ini. Ada yang terjun dalam bidang ini semata-mata untuk mendapatkan ganjaran besar sebagai konsultan unit amanah. Tetapi apabila para pelabur inginkan rundingan, konsultan tersebut gagal untuk memberikan yang terbaik kepada para pelabur.

RHB Asset Management Sdn Bhd. Panduan Memilih Akaun Pelaburan Unit Amanah

Apakah sebab kita patut menyimpan & melabur?
1) Sebagai tabung kecemasan – Dari segi psikologi manusia perlu rasa selamat terhadap bencana kewangan seperti rawatan penyakit, kemalangan dan kena buang kerja.

2) Sebagai alat untuk memenuhi wawasan kewangan seperti tabung pendidikan sendiri/ anak, kenderaan peribadi baru, percutian atau cengkeram pembelian rumah.

3) Sebagai tabung untuk hari tua atau sebagai penambahan kepada bayaran pencen / tabung KWSP.

4) Sebagai satu jambatan untuk menghasilkan lebih wang tampa bekerja sendiri.

Sebelum melabur atau menyimpan ada baiknya pelabur mempartimbangkan faktor-faktor berikut:
1) Dimanakah kedudukan pelabur dalam kitaran hidup?

2) Apakah risikonya?

3) Bagaimanakah kesan inflasi terhadapnya?

4) Bolehkan ia dicairkan?

5) Berapakah harga pulangannya?

6) Perlukah dilakukan pemelbagaian (diversification) ?
Berikut adalah contoh kedudukan pelabur berdasarkan faktor umur dan kehendak mereka:

1) Pesara:

Contoh Wawasan: melindungi modal dan memaksimumkan pendapatan

Langkah yang diambil: Pilih pelaburan selamat seperti unit amanah yang bermotifkan pendapatan, akaun mudharabah dan saham blue-chip. Sentiasa pantau kadar pendapatan yang diterima dari potfolio pelaburan. Untuk mengatasi inflsi sebahagian kecil modal patut dilaburkan dalam tabung lebih berisiko.


2) Pasangan dengan anak dewasa

Contoh Wawasan: Untuk Persaraan

Langkah yang diambil: Simpan sebahagian wang dalam peaburn yang konservatif/ berisiko rendah. Kalau dari golongan kaya boleh gunakan pelaburan berisiko lebih tinggi. Pasangan dengan anak belasan tahun menyediakan tabung untuk bayaran bil pengajian yang tinggi. Mengkaji sumber-sumber bantuan kewangan / pinjaman yang ada. Memantau semua simpanan yang ada samaada mencukupi. Jika tidak mungkin berusaha menambahkan pandapatan.


3) Pasangan dengan anak bersekolah

Contoh Wawasan: Tabung pendidikan dan tabung percutian

Langkah yang diambil: pastikan sudah ada tabung tunai untuk kecemasan dahulu sebelum mula melabur dalam alat pelaburan yang mempunyai nilai pulangan yang tinggi seperti unit amanah pertumbuhan (grows funds). Tujuannya untuk mengatasi inflasi. Pelabur yang mempunyai selera risiko yang tinggi boleh menggunakan unit amanah pertumbuhan yang lebih aggresif.


4) Pasangan dengan bayi/anak kecil

Contoh Wawasan: Rumah yang lebih bagus

Langkah yang diambil: Pilih rumah yang sesuai – boleh jadi tempat tinggal serba boleh juga dijual bila anak-anak sudah berkahwin. Sebelum melabur pastikan sudah ada tabung kecemasan tunai bernilai 3 bulan gaji, insuran pendapatan, dan insuran perubatan. Pelaburan digalakkan dalam unit amanah jenis berimbang (balance fund) atau ASB.


5) Bujang

Contoh Wawasan: Kereta, rumah

Langkah yang diambil: Elakkan tabiat belaja berlebihan dengan mengabil skema pelaburan ’paksaan’ secara potongan gaji dalam akaun insuran/ takaful. Untuk wawasan jangka pendek sebahagian besar dari baki simpanan harus diletakkan dalam akaun-akaun yang menjamin modal. Baki kalau ada barulah melabur dalam unit amanah.

Rhb Asset Management. Investment Goal

One of the keys to successful investing is identifying your investment goals, and the time frame over which you will invest.

Investing for a specific goal

When investing money, many people have a specific goal in mind. If this is the case for you, you need to decide what time frame is attached to that goal - short term, medium term or long term?

Examples of investment goals are:

Short term (1-3 years)	- overseas holiday - car - taking time off work to care for a baby
Medium term (3-7 years)	- deposit on a house - boat - a sabbatical or extended break from work.
Long term (7+ years)	- childrens' education - holiday house - retirement/early retirement

Investing a specific amount

Rather than having a particular investment goal, some people may just be wanting to invest a certain sum of money eg. an inheritance. If you are in this situation, you need to decide what you want from that money.

Do you want to use the money in the next year or two? (in which case you are a short term investor). Or do you want a regular income? (you will need medium term income-producing investments). Or do you want it to achieve capital growth over a long period of time, and are willing to take a long term view?

Time Frame

The time frame of your goals will determine how the money should be invested.

A short term investor would be more likely to choose a more conservative investment like cash, to ensure that their capital is available in the next 1-3 years when they need to access it.

A long term investor would be more willing to invest in 'growth assets' such as shares, as they do not need to access their capital for at least 5 years, so are less concerned about short term ups and downs. They recognise that the potential returns are much higher in growth investments, and if they are held over the long term the risk is reduced.

A financial adviser can assist you to understand the types of investment most suitable for your goals.

Unit Trust. The Secret To Wealth

The Secret To Wealth

Whether you want to invest in shares or across a broad range of asset classes, unit trust funds provide you with one benefit that can be very hard for individual investors to achieve - diversification.

Many people invest but only some become wealthy. Why?
The mistake many people make when investing is that they treat their investment as saving.

Saving Versus Investing

So what is the difference between saving and investing? Saving is what you do to build up funds for something, like a holiday, and when you have the amount saved you withdraw your capital from your investment and spend it on the holiday. After the holiday you have nothing left, and start the process all over again.


But building wealth is different. People who want to build wealth invest their money for the long term in 'growth assets' such as shares and property.


Their strategy is to spend the income that the investment produces, but to leave the capital invested. They don't withdraw the capital, so it stays there growing and compounding, and producing more and more income each year.


If you do this it will take you quite a while longer initially to get to your investmant goal, but in the long run you will find that the extra wait has been worth it. As the years go by, you will have an increasing additional income stream from your investments and your standard of living can rise accordingly!

Should I continue to retain capital in retirement? 
Retaining your capital is a good strategy to use for wealth accumulation. Of course when you stop working later in life, your strategy may change. At that point it can often be beneficial to start drawing on some of your capital as well, whilst still ensuring that it will last for as long as you need it.
