the Investment Objective of Asia Platinum Fund (PF) is to provide long-term capital growth by investing in equity and equity related securities of companies in three regional markets, i.e. Greater China, India and Japan. (it's 100% invested in foriegn market)


the Investment strategy of PF is to invested into the following AIG-managed funds:

a. AIG Greater China Equity Fund
b. AIG India Equity Fund
c. AIG Japan New Horizon Fund

(AIA fund managers would actively manage the percentage of holdings for each of these three funds from time to time. This Fund will also invest in Global Emerging Markets' securities from time to time as a buffer against adverse investment climate in any of these three regional markets.)

policyholders who buy a new single premium investment-linked policy or top-up on their existing single premium investment-linked policy with a minimum premium amount of RM 25,000 on the same policy will be given a one time bonus allocation units of 1% on top of the initial single premium / top-up investment. ( pls take note that this bonus will not be available after the RM30 million quota is reached.)

Thinking of buying into this fund.
Will need to invest for my kids education in 14 years time.

What is the difference if I invest directly into a Unit trust rather than going thru investment linked funds.
Insurance is at the back of my mind now.

I want to sent him to UK for medical studies. What do you suggest??

If you invest directly in Unit Trust there will be one time fee service charge for loaded fund which is around 6.5% and yearly charge around 1.5% per year but no insurance covered should something happen to you or to your child. There are some funds which give you insurance free (equals to the amount of unit that you own).

But if you invest in investment link product, should something happen to you or yourself there will be some compensation. But there will be charge imposed yearly. Meaning that the charges for investment link product is larger than the charge imposed on unit trust product.

At the end of the day, its up to you to choose, whether you are the kind of person who conservative or agressive.
