ETF vs ASB Malaysia

They are different products

ASB is a unit trust scheme with its own eligibility, pricing and distribution rules. An ETF trades on an exchange and exposes you to the assets and risks of its tracked index. They should not be compared only by last year’s return.

Questions to compare

• Eligibility and account access
• Capital volatility and possibility of loss
• Liquidity and how orders are priced
• Fees, brokerage and minimum trade size
• Investment horizon, emergency-fund needs and diversification

ASB distributions are not guaranteed. Verify current terms and announcements with ASNB. Verify ETF details with Bursa Malaysia and the fund manager.
