S. ABRAMMI, 25, has never before invested in unit trusts offered by Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB). However, she was curious enough to find out more and visits the ongoing Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia (MSAM) in Ipoh, which ends on Tuesday.
"I came with my nephews and discovered that there are so many funds available," she told the New Sunday Times.
Abrammi said she had invested in mutual funds by a local bank and was looking for more investment opportunities.
"I will collect all the information from this exhibition and see what are the best funds to invest in."
Abrammi was among the thousands who turned up at the Indera Mulia Stadium here yesterday to learn about investing in PNB's unit trust funds.
Ismail Ibrahim, 76, from here, said he appreciated PNB's efforts to bring MSAM to the capital of Perak, which enabled him to visit the much talked-about unit trust week.
"I feel that PNB should declare at least more than 10 per cent dividend once in five years.
"Our daily expenditure is going up so much now," he said.
Housewife Zarinah Mahmud, 39, said: "This is my first visit to MSAM and I am glad to be here.
"I heard about it on the radio. I have invested in Takaful Ikhlas as well as Amanah Saham Bumiputera.
"My husband, Mohamed Nor, a retiree, had also invested in these funds. We just want to know how to invest more from this exhibition."
Other than educating visitors on the benefits of investing in unit trusts, the exhibition also provides an opportunity to win daily prizes, such as motorcyles, bicycles, tour and motor insurance vouchers and electrical items.
Yesterday, children were treated to a drawing competition and group visits were organised for students.
Local cartoon characters, Upin and Ipin, were also present to give an inspirational talk to visitors, mostly schoolchildren, under the inspirational icon programme.
