Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) has recently increased its fund size by RM5 billion.

The investment is open to ALL investors on a first come first serve basis.

Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about ASNB. 🧵 Image
1. Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB) is a unit trust company established in 1979.

There are currently 16 types of funds offered, each with a varying degree of risk.

For today’s purposes, we’ll focus on the ones with the lowest risk - ASB and ASM. Image
2. ASB and ASM are fixed-price funds that are always sold at RM1 per unit.

This means that you can plan your investments without worrying about market volatility or price swings.
3. ASB and ASM both pay decent dividends.

The payout averaged 6.92% and 5.68% in the past 11 years for ASB and ASM, respectively.

During the height of the pandemic in 2020, both funds managed to deliver dividends above 4%. Image
4. ASB and ASM dividends are not taxable!

There are also no sales charge or upfront costs when you start investing, unlike other ASNB funds, which charge up to 5%.
5. Redeem anytime, instantly.

You can withdraw up to 2,000 units (or RM2,000) from ASB or ASM every month through the myASNB app online.

For bigger amounts, you can do so at an ASNB branch. Image
6. What are the risks?

• Returns are not guaranteed. ASB and ASM dividends fluctuate based on market conditions and interest rates.

• All funds by ASNB are not insured by PIDM.
7. How do I register?

i. Download the myASNB app and enter your personal details.

ii. Take a photo of your IC and be ready to take videos/selfies for verification.

iii. Setup your username and password.

*It took us only 10 minutes to register and get approved. Image
8. Additional things to note:

When you login for the first time, ASNB will request you to complete a one-time risk assessment.

After that, you’ll be prompted to make an initial investment of RM10 via FPX. Image

What are tariffs anyway?

And what does Trump aim to do with them?

If you have no clue of what’s happening and how it will impact you, read on to understand more.

🧵
1. Tariffs are a tax placed on foreign goods entering the country.

They are usually implemented to protect local producers and strengthen domestic supply chains.

This is why buying local stuff is (usually) cheaper than imported goods.Image
2. Who pays these tariffs?

The companies that import foreign goods into the country will have to pay the tax.

However, these companies can choose to

• pass some (if not all) of the cost to consumers, OR

• import fewer goods.

By age 30, your savings should fall into one of these categories:

• Basic: At least RM38,000 😅

• Adequate: At least RM47,500 👌

• Enhanced: At least RM85,400 🤑

This is according to EPF’s Retirement Income Adequacy (RIA) Framework. 🧵Image
1. Why these figures?

Each category represents a different retirement goal:

• Basic: Aims for RM390,000 by age 60

• Adequate: Targets RM650,000 by 60

• Enhanced: Puts you on track for RM1.3 mil by 60Image
Image
Image
2. Therefore, if your combined savings is more than EPF’s Enhanced benchmark, you’re well ahead of the curve.

And if your EPF savings alone have already surpassed that figure, you’re in an excellent position financially. 💰📈

I went to Japan for 9 days and paid with 4 different travel cards.

Here’s an unsponsored review of which is the best. 🧵Image
1. GXBank is still the best travel card, for now.

Though the purple bank’s cashback on local spending has been reduced to 0.1%,

The cashback on foreign spending is still 1% and covers almost everything, including:

• Petrol
• Hotels
• Flight tickets
• Bill payments

etc.Image
2. As long as the payment is made via your debit card (physical or online), you’ll most likely receive the cashback.

Apart from this, GX is also waiving foreign transaction fees (1.2%) and does not charge you for overseas ATM withdrawals.Image

5.80% is EPF’s highest payout in 3 years.

I honestly think EPF deserves more credit than it actually gets.

Allow me to explain why. 🧵 Image
1. If your salary is RM5,000 and below:

• You’ll contribute 11% of your pay

• Your employer contributes 13% of your pay

Total retirement savings: 24% of your salary every month.Image
2. If your salary is above RM5,000:

• You’ll contribute 11% of your pay

• Your employer contributes 12% of your pay

Total retirement savings: 23% of your salary every month.Image

Housewife shares on Facebook how she manages to save RM200-250 per month on husband’s RM1,500 salary.

After EPF deductions, the take-home pay is only RM1,335. 😬

Quite a few things to learn about budgeting from here.

Allow us to break it down for you. 🧵Image
1. In the post, she mentioned that she is a full-time housewife, her husband is the sole breadwinner, and they have three children.

She is currently staying in a People’s Housing Program (PPR) flat and pays RM124 per month for rent. Image
2. Fyi, PPR is initiated by the government to meet the housing needs of low-income groups.

The rent can go as low as RM124/mo for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, with the size exceeding 700 sq ft.

Requirement to be eligible: <RM3,000 total monthly household income. Image
