We will revalue the Fund's NAV at the mid-day Valuation Point and re-price the units where the NAV of the Fund differs by more than 5% from the NAV as at the last Valuation point ("material market movement"). The mid-day Valuation Point is the time of the mid-day close of business of the Eligible Market.
The NAV per unit of the Fund is calculated by dividing the Fund's NAV by the number of units in circulation, rounded to four decimal places. The NAV per unit forms the basis of the computation of Manager's Price.

Customer and Agent Relations DepartmentUnit split refers to where a single unit is split into more than one unit based on an agreed ratio.
ASNB Board of Directors has approved to implement unit split at a ratio of 1-unit-for-1 unit held (1:1).
As at June 30, 2014, ASN Equity 2 consistently outperformed its customised benchmark (80% FTSE Bursa Malaysia 100 Index and 20% Money Market Rates Interbank 3-month) for the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year period. Unit split will reduce the fund's net asset value (NAV) per unit by half, making it more attractive to existing and new investors.
Unit holders who maintain their ASN Equity 2 investment units up until July 18, 2014.
Yes. Every unit invested through EPF is entitled for the unit split.
Yes. Additional units received will be collateralised with the original loan/collateral units.
Yes. However, the minimum requirement of 1,000 units will remain as stated in the agreement. The 1,000 additional units will be credited into the investment book.
Unit split will be implemented using the NAV of the fund as at July 18, 2014 and the activity will be printed as July 19, 2014 in the investment book.
Only units that remain on July 18, 2014 will be entitled for the unit split.
No. Unit split will double the unit in circulation and thus the NAV per unit of the funds will be adjusted to half of the original value. At the same time, the fund's par value will also change from RM1.00 to RM0.50. As such, unit split will not reduce the unit holder investment value because even though NAV per unit reduced, the number of units held by the unit holder will be increased based on the ratio of the unit split. Hence, the investment value for every unit holder remains the same.
*Unit held before the unit split | Par value before the unit split | *NAV per unit before the unit split | *Investment value before the unit split | *Additional unit received after the unit split |
---|---|---|---|---|
1,000 | RM1.000 | RM1.3557 | RM1,355.70 | 1,000 |
2,000 | RM1.000 | RM1.3557 | RM2,711.40 | 2,000 |
3,000 | RM1.000 | RM1.3557 | RM4,067.10 | 3,000 |
*Total unit held after the unit split | Par value after the unit split | *NAV per unit after the unit split | *Investment value after the unit split |
---|---|---|---|
2,000 | RM0.5000 | RM0.6779 | RM1,355.70 |
4,000 | RM0.5000 | RM0.6779 | RM2,711.40 |
6,000 | RM0.5000 | RM0.6779 | RM4,067.10 |
* Note: For the sole purpose of calculation simulation only, not the actual value of ASN Equity 2 investment.
Any ASN Equity 2 income distribution rate to be announced in the future will be adjusted accordingly with this unit split activity. For example, if the fund capacity in the future with the assumption of no unit split is 6.00 sen per unit, income distribution rate will be adjusted to 3.00 sen per unit in accordance with the unit split. However, the adjusted income distribution rate will not affect the dividend yield as shown in the table below. As such, it is ASNB's priority to ensure that the performance of ASN Equity 2 will be able to generate competitive total return in line with the fund objective.
Dividend yield without the unit split | |||
---|---|---|---|
Income distribution rate (sen per unit) | NAV per unit before income distribution | NAV per unit after income distribution | Dividend yield |
6.80 | RM1.4014 | RM1.3334 | 5.10% |
6.90 | RM1.4014 | RM1.3324 | 5.18% |

3.50 | RM0.7007 | RM0.6657 | 5.26% |
Unit split will adjust the NAV per unit of the fund. The adjusted ASN 2 price will make it more attractive for new and existing unit holders to increase their investment in ASN Equity 2. ASNB wishes that investors will take advantage of the ASN Equity 2 performance which has consistently outperformed its customised benchmark.
Unit split will encourage ASN Equity 2 subscriptions. The increase in the fund's unit in circulation will help the fund to invest in companies that can potentially provide reasonable return.
The funds involve are:
The new maximum individual limit for Akaun Remaja ASB and Akaun Bijak ASB 2 is 200,000 units.
Previously, the maximum individual limit of Akaun Remaja ASB and Akaun Bijak ASB 2 is 50,000 units only.
This initiative was done to encourage the prudent investment habits in ASNB Funds particularly among youths.

Hibah Amanah is the combination of "hibah" and trust concepts. It is a gift in the form of ASNB unit trust fund (Hibah Asset) from a Unit Holder (Donor) to his loved ones (Donee) during his lifetime based on the terms and conditions stated in the Hibah Deed. Transfer of the asset to the Donee(s) takes effect only after the demise of the Donor.
Hibah Asset is the ASNB unit trust fund(s) registered under Hibah Amanah by the Donor during his lifetime through the Hibah Amanah Deed:
Under the Malaysian law, the trust is classified as personal property such as company shares. Thus, the inheritance of unit trusts is subject to the laws of probate and administration where only the administrator or executor appointed by the court can claim the deceased donor's assets. On the other hand, EPF and Tabung Haji were established under their own acts that allow direct nominees.
Without an alternative solution like Hibah Amanah, the estate distribution process is complicated and time-consuming. The situation will be more complicated if there are overlapping claims and disagreement among the beneficiaries.
Through Hibah Amanah, unit holders can plan their estate distribution to their beneficiaries and this will shorten the claim process after their demise.
Hibah Amanah is based on the Sharia law. However, Faraidh law still prevails in the estate distribution for Muslims. Therefore, unit holders are advised to be fair in distributing their Hibah assets.
Yes, but a Guardian must be appointed to act on behalf of the Minor Donee aged 18 and below. The Guardian must be appointed among:

The unit trust fund registered under Hibah Amanah can be suspended or frozen as ordered by the authority, subject to the terms and conditions of Hibah Amanah, Master Prospectus, Deed of the unit trust fund and the EPF.
One of the requirements for Hibah Amanah is to have an asset to be distributed. Therefore, the minimum balance of 1,000 units is necessary to ensure that there will be investment units available after the demise of the Donor as the Donor is allowed to do transactions during his life time.
No. Only ASNB unit trust funds can be registered under Hibah Amanah.
All the units in each trust fund will be distributed to the Donee(s) in its entirely (100%).
Example: The Donor has an investment in the ASN Imbang 2 fund. He must distribute 100% of the units to the listed Donee(s) as follows:
Yes. However, changes can only be made if it involves biological child and grandchildren. Otherwise, the revocation of the Hibah Amanah must be made and the Letter of Donee consent on return of asset to Donor must be submitted during application.
In the event the Donor dies first, the Hibah asset will be the absolute right of the Donee(s). On the other hand, if the Donee(s) dies first, the ownership of the Hibah asset will be returned to the Donor.
Units invested via financing is subjected to the agreement between the Donor and the Financing provider. Units still under financing will be paid to the Financing provider. Only the Donor's wholly-owned units free from encumberance will be distributed to the Donee upon claim.
Based on Sharia law, Hibah Amanah cannot be revoked, except if it involves hibah to biological child or grandchild.

Yes, subject to the minimum balance of 1,000 units.
The funds registered under Trust Declaration can be suspended or frozen as ordered by the authority, subject to the terms and conditions of Trust Declaration, the Master Prospectus, the unit trust fund deeds and the EPF.
One of the requirements of Trust Declaration is to have an asset to distribute to the Donee. The Donor is allowed to perform transactions during his life time. Therefore, the minimum balance of 1,000 units is necessary to ensure that there will be units available for distribution to the Donee after the demise of the Donor.
No, he cannot. Only ASNB unit trust funds can be registered under Trust Declaration.
All the units in each trust fund must be distributed to the Donee(s).

Both parties namely, the Donor and Donee(s) agree that in the event of the death of the Donor before the Donee(s), the Trust Asset will be distributed according to the division specified in the Trust Declaration Deed and it will become the absolute right of the Donee(s). On the other hand, if any one of the Donee(s) dies before the Donor, the Trust Asset will be returned to the Donor.
Units invested via financing/collateral are subjected to agreement with the Financing provider. Units under financing will be paid to the Financing provider. Only the unit wholly-owned (full ownership) by the Donor will be paid to the Donee.
Yes, Trust Declaration can be revoked.

The rational for such charge, among others, is to take into consideration the process involved in the searching transaction record and the costs of operation and administration. In addition, several other financial institutions in Malaysia too have made similar practice by implementing searching transaction records charge policy.
By comparison, the charge imposed by ASNB is the most competitive among other financial institutions.
There is no exemption granted. However, the charge will be refunded to the applicant/complainant if the investigation resulting to a discrepancy between the investment balance/invalid withdrawal is due to agent’s mismanagement.
If the result of the investigation found that the discrepancy in the investment balance /invalid withdrawal is due to the unit holder’s forgetfulness or confusion, the charge will remain and will not be refunded.
The searching charge is applicable to the following records:
The time frame in which you can request the transaction document dates allowed is seven (7) years from the date of application for searching transaction records.
According to the Master Prospectus, ASNB will keep all the related documents of fund transactions for each trust fund for seven (7) years from the date of the documents issuance. Therefore, ASNB is not obliged to submit any documents which have exceeded the seven (7)-year period from the date of the issuance.
The searching charge is RM35 for each application or RM37.10 inclusive of GST.
No. Please refer to questions No. 2, 3 & 4.
Applications can only be done by the unit holder or registered guardian. Third party is not allowed to apply on behalf of applicant.
Application of this service can be done at any ASNB branch.
