When people talking on “Invest”, we could categorise it to few part, either in energy, time, money or etc. I do invest, in alot of thing.

New Fund from Public Mutual
Pass few week, I realize Public Bank are launching a new Unit Trust call PB ASEAN Dividend Fund, i have went to make some enquiry on the help desk when i am saving part of my salary into FD (Fix Deposit) pass 2 week. The customer service personnel explain the fund and i also make some research.

Making Money already
So far, Public bank offer 0.25 cent per unit of Unit trust, and i can see the record, most of the other fund no matter launch last year or few year back, all are above 0.25cent, that mean they are making money. Even a new fund launch on January 2007 (PB Islamic Asia Equity Fund, buy 0.2560, sell 0.2726), are making money already.

How i get start as Investor
I have learn on investing during late 2005 and early 2006, just after i read a book name “Rich Dad Poor Dad” write by Robert Kiyosaki, i am curious on how to become a successful investor, so that i start to learn on it.

Once of my friend who work at Unit Trust Company and also a insurance agent, know that i am interested on investment, she was invite me to join their Unit Trust Discussion and Training last year. The location was at Ampang, every Monday 7pm. That time i was at KL and still study my last semester. At there, i learn how Unit Trust work and some good or bad about it. Most of the people out there are miss understand on it and critic that Unit Trust are useless, because they don’t have knowledge on it.
