This fund is more suitable for medium to long-term investor who has aggressive risk-reward temperament. Most important is, investor can withstand extended periods of market high & lows in pursuit of capital growth.
The initial investment amount is RM1,000. For offer period (8 Jul - 28 Jul 2008), they are offering service charge of 5% (usual is 5.5%).
My comment on this fund:
This is another fund that target the current undervalued telecommunication and infrastructure stock. It has been reported that Asia countries are expected to spend about US$1.8 trillion over the next 5 years, so there a good way to gain big profit there.

Another fund introduced by Public Mutual. I am sick of their fund, there are making lots of money from all this funds.
I think the promotion of 5% is not good enough. They should waive it during promotion.
to hong,
I believe they have their reason to introduce the fund. There must have done enough studies and make sure got buyer before launching the fund. Moreover, they have lots of unit trust agent who can convince you to buy.
to dickson,
I agree with you.
