一個馬來西亞信託基金 , 首日反應良好

一個馬來西亞信託基金
國民投資機構總裁:
首日反應良好

穩定的回酬吸引,吸引公眾大清早前來國民投資機構總部,等候購買“一個馬來西亞信託基金”。
(吉隆坡5日訊)國民投資機構總裁兼總執行長丹斯里哈末卡馬形容,“一個馬來西亞信託基金”出售首日,反應良好,購買情況是好的開始。

“你自己都可看到(人潮)。最重要的,還是公眾接受這個信托基金;我們必須確保每人都能享有購買機會。”

哈末卡馬今日在國投總部,巡視“一個馬來西亞信託基金”出售情況后,接受媒體訪問時這么回應。

位于敦拉薩路的國投總部于今早9時開放,讓公眾購買此項信托基金。據統計,早上約250名公眾購買。

國民投資機構(PNB)總共推出100億令吉或單位“一個馬來西亞信託基金”;發售期從8月5日至9月3日。

發售期長
公眾慢熱

報導:雷慶玲、黃偉傑

國民投資機構(PNB)推出100億令吉或單位“一個馬來西亞信託基金”,即起發售,首日購買者為數不少。

發售首日的各代售單位情況,尚不至于處處人潮洶湧,而是一些地方人潮眾多,一些地方反應一般。

加上國內許多地區今早下雨,影響人們出門,加上基金有一個月發售期,所以人們也不急于購買。

《中國報》記者今早到國投及信托基金銷售代理,如郵政局、馬來亞銀行、土著聯昌銀行及興業銀行巡視后,發現這信托基金購買情況,仍不及上個月公開發售的16億令吉大馬信托基金單位(ASM)搶購熱潮。

據觀察,國投于今早8時開放接受公眾購買時,現場約150名人士排隊拿號碼。他們多數是華裔,僅少數巫裔及印裔。

為了確保購買手續順利進行,國投總共開放14個櫃檯,提供服務。截至早上11時,購買的公眾增至350人。但若跟早前大馬信托基金單位搶購熱潮比較,今日的公眾人數較少。

在馬來亞銀行總部,截至早上11時,有約80名公眾,也是以華裔佔多數。據知,由于開放的服務櫃檯不多,購買程序進度緩慢。

在大馬郵政局總部,截至上午7時,只有4人排隊,到了早上約9時略增至30人。

據瞭解,坐落住宅區的銀行,一些公眾由于擔心人潮眾多,特別提早前往銀行外排隊,后來才發現購買人數不多。

國民投資機構推出100億令吉或單位“一個馬來西亞信託基金”,是從8月5日至9月3日發售。

除了華裔30%或30億單位固打,50%或50億單位保留給土著、15%或15億單位保留給印裔及5%或5億單位保留給其他族群,一個月獻售期限后,將開放剩余土著單位給非土著購買。

“一個馬來西亞信託基金”資料
發售期限 2009年8月5日至9月3日,為期1個月
發行單位 國民投資機構獨資子公司國民信託基金有限公司
發售總值 100億令吉或單位
銷售代理 國民信託基金分行和郵政局(早上8時至下午5時) 馬來亞銀行、土著聯昌銀行及興業銀行分行(早上9時15分至下午4時或4時30分)
購買資格 18歲以上大馬公民
最低購買額 100令吉或單位
最高購買額 5萬令吉或單位 55歲以上10萬令吉或單位 一個月獻售期限后,剩余單位則沒頂限。
回酬 介于3.7%至4.0%(根據大馬政府債券5年的平均利息)
期限 可長期持有
優點 無風險
種族分配額 土著50%、華裔30%、印裔15%、其他5%。

政府做靠山風險低
民眾提定存購買

有政府做“靠山”及投資風險較低,公眾寧願捨棄定期存款,轉為投資政府發放的信託基金,一次的投資額可達5萬令吉。

記者在國投向現場數名公眾瞭解后,得知他們前來購買基金的目的,是基于有政府做靠山及投資風險較低。

此外,當記者訪問部分民眾購買基金數額時,大部分受訪者都表現低調,只稱撥出部分儲蓄投資,不願透露具體的投資數額。

也有不少公眾透露,已有數次購買政府發放基金的經驗,投資額甚至可達5萬令吉。

本報也發現,在國投現場,也有多名介于18至30歲的青年,前來購買。

他們受訪時,不約而同對政府提供免費100個基金單位,給今年6月進入政府大學修第一個學位的約5萬名大學生的做法,表示讚賞。

他們認為,政府此舉可鼓勵年輕人提早投資,灌輸正確的財務規劃。

單位多利息不高
有充足時間購買

發售單位多、利息不高,造成首日購買情況慢熱!

預料在接下來數天,對購買“一個馬來西亞信託基金”有興趣、但還沒開始購買的公眾,仍可如願購得。

有些公眾受訪時認為,首日的購買反應慢熱,原因包括利息不高及發售期較長,有充足時間購買。

也有公眾認為,既然政府以“一個馬來西亞”理念出售100億令吉或單位,就不應設有種族購買固打。

本報走訪國投后發現,儘管有公眾前來總部購買,但人潮相對先前政府所發放的2020宏願信託基金(ASW 2020)及馬來西亞信託基金(ASM),略為遜色。

不過,也有少數公眾以為會出現搶購熱潮,造成他們在週三凌晨2時就有人開始在國投大廈排隊等候。

但直到早上8時開放購買時,現場僅150名公眾排隊,並未出現大排長龍狀況。

記者也走訪附近數家銀行,發現銀行內也排長龍,惟人數較比總部稍遜色。

充作長遠投資
★潘先生(51歲,業務人員,吉隆坡)

穩定回酬是吸引重點,雖然市道不佳,但以此充作長遠投資,不失為實際的方法。

擔心銀行人潮踴躍,所以到國民投資總部碰碰運氣,幸好未出現擁擠情況。

為退休作規劃
★曾年發(56歲,會計,吉隆坡)

前些日子曾投資過2020宏願信託基金及大馬信託基金,發現發放利息穩定,單位價值受政府保障,因此再次購買,作為退休規劃費用。

再度響應購買
★蔡恣封(46歲,房地產銷售員,吉隆坡)

先前已經投資政府發放信託基金,投資額高達5萬令吉以上。此次是因之前投資的報酬不錯,于是再度響應。

好過存進銀行
★黃細妹(37歲,服務員,雪蘭莪)

我首次購買信託基金,這個信託基金回酬較先前的低,但好過儲放在銀行。

回酬穩風險低
★蘇文俊(25歲,服務員,雪蘭莪)

曾買過私人企業發售的信託基金,聽說政府發放的基金回酬不錯,而且有政府做靠山,穩定回酬及低風險,于是前來購買。

請假前來購買
★潘秀麗(30歲,保險業務人員,吉隆坡)

聽聞之前政府發售的基金在短時間內售罄,今日特別請假前來購買。

雖然投資的數額不多,但對該信託基金信心,必定會獲得穩定報酬。

銀行利息太低
★楊葦莉(27歲,保險業務人員,吉隆坡)

由于沒有沉重的生活負擔,加上目前銀行定期存款利息低,不如轉做穩定投資,以便得到更高回酬。

Goldman Sachs’ winning formula works again

Goldman Sachs’ winning formula works again
The highly connected investment bank again posts a huge profit
The Associated Press
updated 7:18 p.m. ET July 14, 2009

NEW YORK - Another financial quarter, another period of blowout profits for Goldman Sachs. With some of the other big banks still losing money, many may wonder: How does Goldman do it?

Gutsy trading and talented employees have helped. But Wall Street's largest remaining investment bank has also benefited from billions in taxpayer-funded bailouts, as well as a sharp drop in the number of competitors.

Even as the recession drags on, the 140-year-old firm is having a very, very good year. The latest evidence: Goldman on Tuesday reported second-quarter profits of $2.7 billion, off a stunning $13.8 billion in revenue. That's a 65 percent profit jump over the same quarter last year.

Other big banks like Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Bank of America are set to report earnings in the coming days, but analysts predict they won't be as strong as Goldman's.

Here are some questions and answers about how the investment bank manages to thrive when the financial sector — and the economy as a whole — are struggling.

Q: What exactly does Goldman Sachs do?

A: Founded in 1869, Goldman started out trading short-term corporate debt. Today, it buys and sells securities and financial products including stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities like oil. It also underwrites securities offered by other firms, and advises on billion-dollar mergers and acquisition deals. In addition, the firm sells research and helps rich clients manage their investments.

Q: Doesn't it seem like Goldman always makes more money than other big Wall Street firms?

A: Goldman has long had a reputation as one of the world's top investment banks. It's known for stacking its ranks with the best and the brightest and rewarding them with huge paydays.

The strategy seems to have worked. The firm has had just a single money-losing quarter since going public in 1999, and its stock is up a whopping 77 percent this year. In contrast, the S&P 500 index — a good measure of where the overall market stands — is down 0.2 percent.

Q: But what does Goldman do that others don't?

A: Many experts believe Goldman's success is rooted in its savvy, high-octane trading style. The bank took in a record $6.8 billion in revenue from fixed income, currency and commodities trading during the second quarter. Other firms haven't been as aggressive with the type of trading they're willing to do, limiting their risk exposure but also their profit potential.

Goldman has also made a mint underwriting securities. As investor optimism has increased, companies have flooded back into financial markets, selling new shares of debt and stocks to raise badly needed capital. Goldman takes a cut of each share offering it handles.

Q: How has Goldman benefited from government bailouts?

A: Goldman took $10 billion at the height of the crisis last fall as part of the government's $700 billion bank rescue. Last month, it became one of the first banks to repay the money, freeing it from onerous restrictions on executive pay and hiring.

But the bank has benefited from other federal aid. It was among several U.S. and foreign banks that were paid a chunk of the $182.5 billion in federal aid used so far to rescue crippled insurer American International Group. The money went to cover banks' losses on complex mortgage investments, as well as for collateral needed for other transactions. Goldman's cut: $12.9 billion.

Goldman also took advantage of a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. program that guarantees banks' newly issued debt. That backstop has allowed Goldman to raise capital at lower interest rates, increasing its rate of return on that money.

非土著搶購心切 ,宏願基金3小時售罄

非土著搶購心切
宏願基金3小時售罄

基金周舉行地點,許多新山市民一早就來排隊認購基金。

(吉隆坡、檳城、怡保、芙蓉、馬六甲、新山27日訊)2020宏願信托基金(ASW 2020)在今早8點開始發售后,49%非土著認購固打單位,在約3個小時內,被搶購一空。

國民投資機構(PNB)發文告指出,高達9億8000萬個非土著認購固打單位,已在早上11點50分售罄。

國民投資機構主席兼集團總執行長丹斯里哈末卡瑪說,今天未來得及購買2020宏願信託基金,也可購買隨著市場價格浮動的輝煌信托基金(ASG),以及第3國民信託基金(ASN 3)。

他說,從今天的反應,證明非土著對國民信託公司的產品,充滿了信心。

全國掀搶購熱潮

國民投資機構(PNB)今日開始,增售20億單位的2020宏願信託基金(ASW 2020)時,全國各地紛紛掀起搶購熱潮。

據了解,2020宏願信托基金和早前發售的大馬信托基金,是少數公開給非土著認購的政府單位信托基金之一,根據過往記錄,每逢推出首日即被搶購一空,反應熱爆。

在吉隆坡,民眾早在清晨5時多,便在國民投資機構總部大廈外排隊。8時左右,約300人已在大廈前等候,有些更是有備而來,準備了報紙、mp3播放機、書本等,來消磨時間。

記者也走訪附近數家銀行,發現銀行內也排起長龍,但工作速度與國民投資機構總部相比,明顯地緩慢了許多。

在北馬區,吉打反應較熱烈,民眾抱著“早起的鳥兒有虫吃”,想盡快購買宏願信託基金單位后再上班,逾百名民眾于今早7時就等候在發售處外面。

但在檳城,記者走訪發售的銀行,發現公眾對這項基金反應冷淡,也許他們並不急在一時,因為從今日起至5月6日都可購買。

在怡保和安順,購買的人潮比購買大馬信託基金人潮更多,反應熱烈。趁目前經濟不景氣時刻,許多市民踴躍搶購,期望從中得到豐厚的利潤。

在芙蓉,市民從清晨5時便前往國民投資機構排隊,等候開門營業。3間代售基金的馬來亞銀行、土著聯昌銀行及興業銀行,同樣出現人龍,其中馬銀行人龍陣更長達500公尺,而排在國民投資機構門前的民眾也有約200人,人龍長達9間店面。

在馬六甲,多個代售處包括甲郵政總局、銀行等都出現搶購人潮,民眾都在守秩序下購買,沒有出現混亂。

在新山,柔州民眾熱烈響應,前往認購者踴躍,各商業銀行和郵局門庭若市。

搶購信託基金配額
慕尤丁讚華裔善理財

大馬信托基金(ASM)華裔配額甫推出一天半即銷售一空,副首相盛讚華裔深懂財務規劃之道,值得各族學習。

副首相丹斯里慕尤丁今日為大馬信托基金周主持閉幕禮時,苦口婆心勸導國人要有儲蓄的良好習慣,並以大馬信托基金發售情況為例,盛讚華裔對投資與財務規劃“很有一套”,其他族群仍需努力。

“大馬信托基金裡供華裔認購的9億9900個單位,在發售的第二天中午就售罄了,反觀供印裔認購的4億9950個單位,在發售后的3天半裡,只售出1億1143個單位,而供巫裔認購的16億6650個單位,他們只認購了139萬3000個單位。”

“希望印裔及土著能捉緊機會認購,不要放過這個難得的投資機會。”

詢及鼓勵國人以類似方式儲蓄或將影響市場資金流動,慕尤丁對此不表認同,他說,國人仍需花費購買日常所需,更何況這類儲蓄更正確的說法應該是“投資”。

“人們之后從這類投資上獲利后,就可以規劃未來生活,例如置產等,一樣可以帶動經濟。”

中國救市奏效
大馬出口微增

副首相丹斯里慕尤丁指出,在中國救市配套初見成效的帶動下,我國出口額呈些微增長,有復甦跡象,但政府不應過于自信,一切還有待觀察。

他說,政府目前仍在觀察世界各國,尤其是歐美與本區域的經濟情況,而我國的產品在中國救市配套奏效的帶動下,需求已出現些微增長,尤其是電器與電子產品。

“這顯示出口領域已有些微的復甦跡象,但我們還是不能太過自信,畢竟現今全球經濟情況仍未明朗,而我們現今會致力于振興國內經濟,確保兩大救市配套能在未來兩三個月內見到成效。”

詢及本南地補選日期落在5月31日,慕尤丁指出,國陣主席,也就是首相拿督斯里納吉將在近日內與政治局開會,以做出相關的適宜決定;他並強調國陣將聽取各方,包括前首相敦馬哈迪的意見。

國投重組計劃下誕生
投資銀行產業集團上市

國民投資機構(PNB)數年前完成的多項收購與合并計劃,近期將重組完成,從中誕生的投資銀行及產業集團將陸續上市。

國民投資機構主席敦阿末沙基指出,在數年前完成收購及合并各領域公司,包括northport、森那美、金希望種植、牙直利集團及獲得馬化工大部分股權。

其中,他說,國投將重整大馬興業金融有限公司(MIDF),以成為一所投資銀行,同時,也將成立一個國投產業集團,而它將成國內最大產業公司,擁有7200英畝土地,待開發成住宅及商業區。

“兩個公司將在適當時候,掛牌上市。”

另一方面,他說,截至3月31日,國民投資機構930萬名投資者,其中,87%持有少過1萬股,平均投資則為9338股,而國投將繼續努力,以讓平均投資額達每人1萬5000股。

會上,阿末沙基也說,國投最新推出、總值3億令吉的規劃投資基金(SIF),目前已售出2億5000萬令吉,而有關基金將在5年內取得穩定增長。

此外,柔州州務大臣也說,柔州為國投第4大投資州屬,但相信仍有增長空間,并希望柔州人民投資率將持續提高。

他也希望,國投及參與此次展覽的58間各領域公司,可深入了解及發覺大馬依斯干達特區發展潛能,并前來投資,而州政府也將給予各方面的協助。

自本月20日至昨晚,大馬信託基金週已吸引逾15萬6000人前往參觀,當局希望透過展覽,民眾對國投發放的基金將更具信心。(中國報報導)

The government has eased foreign shareholding for all players in Islamic banking, investment banking, takaful and insurance players from 49% to 70%,

According to The Edge:
PUTRAJAYA: The government has eased foreign shareholding for all players in Islamic banking, investment banking, takaful and insurance players from 49% to 70%, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

While there is no change of foreign ownership in commercial banks which was retained at 30%, locally incorporated foreign commercial banks would be allowed to establish four new full-fledged branches in 2011 and 10 new micro-finance branches this year.

Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said on April 27, the government would issue up to nine banking licences from 2009 to 2012, of which two are for Islamic banking, with paid-up of US$1 billion, to be issued this year.

He added that up to two new conventional banking licences would be issued this year to foreign players with special expertise and invitations would be sent out today.

Up to two new family takaful licences would be also issued this year.

The remaining three are new commercial banking licences to be issued in 2011 to world-class players which could give value proposition to Malaysia.

Below are the highlights of the financial services liberalisation, according to Bank Negara:

(i) Up to two new Islamic banking licences to be offered in 2009 to foreign players to establish new Islamic banks with paid-up capital of at least US$1 billion to enhance global interlinkages, leverage on global developments in Islamic finance and reinforce Malaysia’s position as an international Islamic financial hub;



(ii) Up to two new commercial banking licences will be offered in 2009 to foreign players that will bring in specialised expertise to address gaps in the financial sector and spur the development of targeted economic sectors;



(iii) Up to three new commercial banking licences will be offered in 2011 to world-class banks that can offer significant value propositions to Malaysia;



(iv) Up to two new family takaful licences will be granted in 2009 to players that can offer significant value proposition to Malaysia to spur the development of the takaful industry and reinforce Malaysia’s position as an international Islamic financial hub.



(v) With immediate effect, existing domestic Islamic banks that wish to scale up their operations and expand into global markets are given greater flexibility to enter into strategic partnerships with foreign players through an increased foreign equity limit of up to 70%. These banks will be required to maintain a paid-up capital of at least USD1 billion;

(vi) With immediate effect, investment banks are given flexibility to enter into foreign strategic partnerships to enhance international linkages and business opportunities. In this regard, the foreign equity participation in investment banks will be increased to a limit of up to 70%;



(vii) With immediate effect, to further strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the insurance and takaful industry, insurance companies and takaful operators are given greater flexibility to tie-up with foreign partners. Accordingly, the foreign equity participation in insurance companies and takaful operators will be increased to a limit of up to 70%;



(viii) A higher foreign equity limit beyond 70% for insurance companies will be considered on a case-by-case basis for players who can facilitate consolidation and rationalisation of the insurance industry. Existing foreign insurers that participate in the process will be accorded flexibility in meeting the divestment requirement.



(ix) To enhance the opportunity for locally-incorporated foreign commercial banks to increase their potential to provide financial services to the underserved sectors of the economy, with immediate effect, locally-incorporated foreign commercial banks can establish up to ten microfinance branches. Further branches will be considered based on the effectiveness of these branches in serving microenterprises;



(x) To promote greater financial inclusion and enhance the ability of the locally-incorporated foreign commercial banks to have a more effective intermediation role in the domestic economy, locally-incorporated foreign commercial banks in Malaysia will be allowed to establish up to four new branches in 2010 based on a distribution ratio of 1(market centre): 2(semi-urban): 1(non-urban);



(xi) With immediate effect, to improve insurance and takaful penetration in the country, locally-incorporated foreign insurance companies and takaful operators are allowed to establish branches nationwide without restriction;



(xii) With immediate effect, to enhance insurance and takaful penetration in the country, the restriction for locally-incorporated foreign insurance companies and takaful operators to enter into bancassurance / bancatakaful arrangements with banking institutions is now uplifted;



(xiii) With immediate effect, banking institutions, insurance companies and takaful operators will be accorded greater flexibility to employ specialist expatriates that have expertise to contribute to the development of the financial system in Malaysia; and



(xiv) To provide a more flexible operating business environment, offshore banking institutions licensed by the Labuan Offshore Financial Services Authority that meet the predetermined criteria will be accorded flexibility to have a physical presence onshore from 2010.



Similarly, offshore insurance companies licensed by the Labuan Offshore Financial Services Authority that meet the predetermined criteria will be accorded flexibility to have a physical presence onshore from 2011. This flexibility will be complemented by a strengthened regulatory and supervisory framework that will govern these players.
