DIVIDEN TINGGI UMPAN PELABUR

Bagaimanakah untuk mengenalpasti skim tidak sah?

Orang ramai dinasihati untuk berwaspada dan tidak terpedaya dengan skim tersebut. Sentiasa berhati-hati dan perhatikan ciri-ciri lazim yang terdapat pada skim ini seperti yang berikut:

·         Pengendali mungkin berhubung melalui surat, telefon, Internet atau secara bersemuka, namun niatnya tetap sama iaitu mendapatkan wang daripada mangsa yang tidak menaruh syak wasangka untuk barangan atau perkhidmatan yang sememangnya tidak akan disediakan.

·         Skim yang menjanjikan kadar faedah, pulangan atau keuntungan yang jauh lebih tinggi daripada yang ditawarkan oleh institusi kewangan berlesen untuk wang deposit mereka.

·         Janji pulangan yang tinggi adalah bertujuan untuk menarik minat orang ramai supaya menyertai skim ini dan pelabur mungkin tidak diberikan sebarang salinan dokumen termasuk perjanjian dengan pengendali tersebut.

·         Tiada jaminan bahawa pengendali dapat terus memberikan pulangan yang tinggi.

·         Pada permulaan skim ini, pengendali akan menggunakan wang yang diterima daripada pendeposit baharu untuk memberikan pulangan tinggi atau membayar semula amaun prinsipal kepada pendeposit lama.

·         Walau bagaimanapun, pengendali tidak dapat melaburkan deposit dalam usaha niaga atau pelaburan yang dapat memberikan pulangan yang sama atau yang lebih tinggi. Oleh yang demikian, pengendali tidak dapat mengekalkan pulangan yang tinggi atau membayar semula wang pelabur seperti yang dijanjikan.

Sila ambil perhatian bahawa skim ini akhirnya akan gagal apabila pengendali tersebut tidak menerima deposit baharu secara berterusan. Pada masa itu, skim cepat kaya ini akan gagal dan pendeposit atau pelabur akan kehilangan wang pelaburan mereka.

 

SKIM CEPAT KAYA YANG MASIH AKTIF

 

 

Baru-baru ini ada disiarkan dalam akhbar Berita Harian berkenaan 10 syarikat skim cepat kaya yang masih aktif. Sebenarnya di luar masih banyak lagi pergerakan skim cepat kaya yang silih berganti dari hari ke hari tiada penghujungnya.

Tapi yang peliknya, masyarakat kita sebagai pengguna, mengapa masih ramai lagi yang memilih jalan pintas untuk kaya! Sedangkan di negara kita ada peraturan dan mempunyai banyak syarikat perbankan yang menguruskan simpanan wang dan pelaburan yang berdaftar di bawah Bank Negara.

Sekiranya kita membuat simpanan ataupun pelaburan melalui perbankan yang berdaftar baha Bank Negara, Insya'allah ianya lebih selamat.......... Tentu anda tterfikir....adakah yang dimaksudkan selamat itu tidak rugi!

Sudah menjadi tabii nya setiap pelaburan pasti ada risiko . Risiko pelaburan adalah untung atau rugi. Tetapi sekiranya kita melabur di tempat yang berdaftar di bawah Bank Negara, setidak-tidaknya kita tidaklah rugi hingga berputih mata, kerana setiap simpanan dan pelaburan kita dipantau oleh bank negara.

Manakala sekiranya sesuatu institusi itu di sita @ diistihar muflis, maka asset pelabur tidak akan dibekukan , berbanding sekiranya kita menyimpan @ melabu ditempat yang tidak berdaftar di bawah bank negara.

Recommended Funds 2011/2012

FUNDS THAT WE RECOMMEND

We strive to analyze funds with as long a comparable history as possible and only within their peer group. For a look at our methodology, please go to here. Please note that while we hope that these recommendations would be useful for investors, you are also advised to look at the fund's prospectus and do your own further research before making your investment decisions.

We advise investors to have a diversified portfolio that is spread over the whole world. The recommended funds should not be seen as being recommended in isolation. These funds are what we would recommend amongst their peer groups if you would like to invest in a fund from a particular sector or region. So, if you are interested in funds from one region like Japan, then you can see the recommended funds we have within the Japan region. There is little basis of comparing a Japan fund with a Europe fund.

For investors who are also interested in an allocation to the various sectors, we suggest that you refer to our Sector Star Ratings page which shows our views towards the various regions. For aggressive investors who wish to take more risk for the purpose of potentially higher returns, you can take note of the articles we sometimes put out highlighting Fundsupermart's view of a particular region.

For a more detailed description of why we recommend any particular fund, please click on the recommended fund's name below:

Malaysia Equity Islamic

Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund (Fundsupermart Risk Rating: 8-High Risk)  The Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund ranked second among Malaysia Equity funds for the past four-year and one-year periods ended March 2011. It was also the third best performing Malaysia Equity fund in 2010. The fund has the highest resilience during market corrections and downturns as it ranked first under our risk criterion, out of the 32 Malaysia Equity funds. However, the fund’s expense ratio was higher than the average of funds in the Malaysia Equity category. We like this fund for its relatively strong performance and high resilience. The fund invested 31.0% of its assets in the trading/services sector and 15.6% in the consumer products sector (as at 31 March 2011). Private consumption is expected to continue to be the key driver of Malaysian economic growth, while the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) will be the main driver of the equity market. Corporate earnings from the key sectors that propel the equity market such as construction, oil and gas, plantation and banking are expected to grow as the ETP unfolds. Investors should note that single country equity funds tend to be more volatile than regional or global equity funds due to the lack of geographical diversification. However, as the fund’s exposure is mainly to the RM, Malaysian investors will not experience currency risk when investing in the fund.

Kenanga Growth Fund (Fundsupermart Risk Rating: 8-High Risk)

 
The Kenanga Growth Fund ranked top among Malaysia Equity funds for the past four-year and one-year periods ended March 2011. It was also the best performing Malaysia Equity fund in 2010. The fund has high resilience during market corrections and downturns and ranked sixth under our risk criterion, out of the 32 Malaysia Equity funds. The fund’s expense ratio was slightly lower than the average of Malaysia Equity funds. We like this fund for its relatively strong performance, high resilience and moderate expense ratio.

The fund invested 31.4% of its assets in the trading/services sector and 16.5% in the finance sector (as at 31 March 2011). Private consumption is expected to continue to be the key driver of Malaysian economic growth, while the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) will be the main driver of the equity market. Corporate earnings from the key sectors that propel the equity market such as construction, oil and gas, plantation and banking are expected to grow as the ETP unfolds.

TOP PERFORMING FUND 2011

TOP PERFORMING FUND 2011

Key Points:

• 10 funds beat the KLCI
• Top performing fund was Kenanga Growth Fund
• 4 funds had lower downside risk than the KLCI
• 1 small cap fund achieved higher gains but came with higher risks

As a continuation of a similar article we wrote at the beginning of last year, we reviewed the performance of the Malaysia equity funds on our platform. There was a lot of uncertainty in 2011 and 2012 is expected to be a continuation of previous years; no different in terms of the amount of volatility besetting the financial markets globally.

Though the FBM KLCI only gained 4.5% in terms of total return in 2011 (a pale comparison to 23.8% a year earlier), it was among the best performing markets under our coverage. Within the Malaysia equity space, how many funds on our platform bested the KLCI's performance? See Table 1 below for our findings.

TEN FUNDS OUTPERFORMED THE KLCI

Table 1: Funds that have outperformed the KLCI
#	Fund	2011 Return
1	Kenanga Growth Fund	19.1%
2	Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund	16.9%
3	Prudential Equity Income Fund	10.7%
4	Alliance Optimal Income Fund	9.2%
5	Prudential Dana Al-Ilham	9.0%
6	AmIslamic Growth	6.0%
7	AmIttikal	5.4%
8	OSK-UOB Emerging Opportunity Unit Trust	5.2%

10	OSK-UOB Malaysia Dividend Fund	5.0%
	FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI	4.5%*

Top Performing Fund

The top performing fund - Kenanga Growth Fund - has been a fund that everyone at Fundsupermart unanimously loves and is also one of the top-selling funds on our platform. The fund manager is particularly proud that they "try to minimise as far as practicable the volatility" of their funds, and that investors "will notice that our funds in general have lower volatility than their peer group."

This concurs with our findings when we analysed the fund's performance in a Chart Talk article, in which we concluded that the Kenanga Growth Fund is a relatively slow and steady performer as shown by the data.

The top performing funds mostly had significant exposure to sin product manufacturers (i.e. breweries and tobacco companies), oil palm plantations, telecommunication services companies, commercial banks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), all of which performed particularly well in 2011.

 Going forward, we expect Malaysia's economy to grow at 4.0 - 4.5% year-on-year in 2012, with the economy supported by domestic consumption and private and public investments under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP).

Islamic Funds For Muslims & Non-Muslims

Baru ini saya berjumpa dengan seorang prospek bukan Muslim, beliau berminat untuk melabur dalam Kenanga Investors Berhad. walaubagaimanapun beliau masih tercari Fund mana yang perlu dipilih untuk melabur! Lalu saya pun mencadangkan Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund. Persoalan yang timbul, Adakah Islamic Fund sesuai untuk bukan Islam?

Islamic Funds adalah untuk semua, sama ada untuk Muslim atau bukan muslim.Walaupun ianya mesti menepati syariah di bawah kawalan Syariah-Compliant  tetapi ianya tetap untuk semua. Akhir-akhir ini, masyarakat telah mengalih arah memandang Islamic Funds adalah pilihan terbai sekiranya ingin melabur.

Saudi Arabia adalah pelabur Kewanan Islam dunia paling terbesar dunia  anggaran USD 22.7 Billion dari 174 Fund. Manakala Malaysia merupakan kedua terbesar dalam pelaburan Kewangan Islam USD 5.1 Billion dan 184 Fund.

Dengan kehadiran Islamic Fund ini, pelaburan global bertambah lebih rancak dan menarik. Dengan itu para pelabur diharap tidak terlepas pandang paa Islamic Fund ini semasa membuat pelaburan kerana ianya akan memberi kesan yang besar  jangka masa panjang.

Islamic Fund terikat pada peraturan dan larangan semasa plaburan termasuk dilarang dari terlibat dalam perkara yang melibatkan Riba (interest), Gharar, berkongsi keuntungan dan kerugian melalui interest.

Syariah Compliant badan yang bertanggung jawab agar islamic fund di laburkan mengikut kriteria yang disyaratkan oleh pengawasan syariah melalui Penasihat Syariah. Dengan ini mereka perlu me,mbincagkan terlebih dahulu proses stock pelaburan yang diambil dari S & P (stock & poor) Syariah indeks, Dow Jones Islamic Market Indeks dan Securities Commision Malaysia.

Kesimpulannya, Islamic Fund yang dipantau oleh Securities Commission, adalah halal dan sesuai untuk Muslim dan bukan muslim. Setiap produk akan disahkan oleh Penasihat Syariah Company berkenaan. Dan yang paling menariknya kebanyakkan Islamic fund memberikan momentum yang besar dalam pelaburan dengan pulangan tinggi pada risiko yang rendah.

Semoga seamat memilih Islamic Fund yang lebih terjamin halal lagi bersih dan pulangan yang tinggi.

Tahniah ! Satu Pilihan Bijak Bagi Pelabur 2011

Awal tahun 2012,  Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund (KSGF) telah menunjukkan pelaburan yang amat memberangsangkan. diharapkan prestasi ini akan menjadi penanda aras bagi KSGF menempuh cabaran dalam tahun 2012.

Januari 2012 menunjukkan harga NAV KSGF RM 2.88/unit. menandakan satu peningkatan yang amat memberangsangkan. Oleh itu juga kepada semua pelabur KSGF anda patutnya mengucapkan tahniah kepada diri sendiri di atas satu tindakan yang bijak yang telah dilakukan.

Bayangkan sekiranya pada bulan September 2011 harga NAV per unit RM 2.65, tetapi and menangguhkan permulaan pelaburan , bermakna anda telah kerugian RM 0.20/unit.  Tapi sekiranya pelaburan itu dilaburkan RM 20,000.00 x 0.20, bermakna anda telah kerugian RM 4,000.00 sekiranya tidak melabur pada waktu itu.

Sebab itu, anda layak mengucapkan tahniah kepada diri anda atas kebijaksanaan dalam merancang kewangan masa hadapan. Semoga 2012 ini akan memberikan rangsangan yang lebih dalam pelaburan KSGF.
