It\u2019s 2025 and what better way to start the year than to realign and review your investment strategies to ensure that your future finances are on track?<\/p>\n

Keeping your investment portfolio as diversified as possible is one of the key fundamentals in securing your future finances. But with all the different options available, it can be complicated and risky, if you\u2019re unfamiliar with investing.<\/p>\n

With over 40 years of experience<\/a>*, Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB)\u2019s variable price funds could be the key to diversifying your portfolio.<\/p>\n

In this article, we explain what variable price funds are, the types of variable price funds ASNB offers, and what the benefits are so that you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What are variable price funds?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Besides fixed price funds like ASB and ASM which most Malaysians are familiar with, ASNB also offers variable price funds. Here\u2019s a quick explanation of the difference between fixed price (FP) and variable price (VP) funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t
Fixed price fund<\/th>Variable price fund<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
- The fund price, known in the industry as Net Asset Value (NAV), will always be fixed at RM1. <\/td>- The fund will fluctuate in price or NAV depending on the market movement. It is similar to unit trust funds offered by other companies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
- The price is RM1 per unit today and it will be RM1 per unit from next year onwards.<\/td>- Besides the annual dividend payout, there is potential capital gain from buying\/selling the fund.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
- Investment return is in the form of an annual dividend payout only.<\/td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Investors who invest in VP funds can also minimise the risk of market volatility from price fluctuations<\/a> by diversifying their portfolios into various equity, mixed asset or balanced funds to balance risks and invest for long-term growth to average gains.<\/p>\n

It is also important to continue to stay informed about market trends to manage your investment portfolio properly.<\/p>\n
