Why you should invest your EPF?
EPF only provide you with a return of 4-5%, and what is our inflation rate? Based on my calculation, the actual inflation rate should be more than 4%. So, EPF just preserve your value of money against inflation, you gain nothing at the end of the day. Let say, last year you have your coffee at RM 1.00, this year you have it at RM 1.10, is 10% up!!! Look at your petrol cost, 5%, fool or not?
No need worry, just trust me!!! EPF investment into unit trust will yield positive results in long term.
The cost of living is constantly on the rise and many Malaysians now realise they will need to make their retirement funds work harder. By investing your EPF monies in unit trust products, you are giving yourself more opportunity to overcome the effects of inflation and enjoy your golden years.
