In the midst of hardship, where the Klang Valley and the East Coast is flooded, thousands of people have to relocate, also several causalities, this is news to the public. So far this is a good comparison from the previous year. Which the dividend payout is 4.25 sen (4.25%) per unit.
If you are investing RM 100,000 at the beginning of the year, at the end of year you will get RM 105,000 (with 5% dividend). This is how long term and low risk investment looks like.
If you think this enough? Then your wish, because the inflation rate in Malaysia is keep increasing too.ASB is specially made scheme for Bumiputera.
So where can the Non-Bumi can invest as low risk investment plan?
The common investment that Non-Bumi goes for is Fixed Deposit in Banks. But the problem with fixed deposit, the interest rate ridiculously low. The average interest rate is 2% for 12 months.
Fixed Deposit rates : Ringgit Plus So another better option from Fixed Deposit is PTPTN. PTPTN is not only the place to take loan, but also can do investment to grow our money. DIVIDEN SSPN-i and SSPN-i Plus, are investment plans in PTPTN. For the past 10 years they are providing with constant interest rate which is 4% every year.
