2. Market Chat
We discussed latest statistics & projection of Unit Trust Industry which is forecasted to grow to US$32.6 billion (RM114.75 billion) by year 2013, up 83% from year 2008. WOW ! This is truly a healthy growth and definitely shows that we’re in the right business at the right time. Refer article from NSTP dated 22 June 2009, Biznews page B9. See attached report S-EAsianMutualFundsToSurge.jpg
Jas : In addition to being in a sunrise industry, the profession as a Unit Trust Consultant demands higher degree of professionalism and is evolving into Professional Wealth Planners, Financial Planners /Advisors and the like. So, we must flow in this direction and continue to equip ourselves with necessary tools and knowledge. Always with a view of upholding a professional image and carry ourselves reputably.
Market Chat also discussed the trend in retirement plans. SavingEarlierForRetirement.jpg The following points were noted :
. Malaysians starting to plan for retirement on average at age 34 (earlier than previously at 37)
. EPF noted that many retirees opt for gradual withdrawal (instead of lump sum) – 1Q’09 9,731 applications compared to 5,247 applications in 1Q’08. This indicate greater awarenes amongst retirees that they may exhaust their lifetime EPF savings earlier, if withdraw lump sum.
. spending power may have shrunk some 30% – 40% and thus, retiress are more prudent with their spending these days.
. advocates of financial planning target savings to be as high as 40% to 50% of net income ! Move gradually from 10%of Net Income and increase the percentage towards 50%.
. Hospitalization bills (often forgotten or “in denial”) – may wipe out entire savings. So early planning is crucial even for those working and enjoying employment medical benefits now. Medical benefits (insurance) are very, very expensive later in life and most are loaded with high premiums the moment they sniff the slightest health irregularity !
. investors also have duty to understand essentials of investing, risk-reward relationship and asset allocation techniques.
