How to invest in a Bond Fund (at the lowest possible fee)?

What is Bond?

A Bond is simply an 'IOU' in which an investor agrees to loan money to a company or government in exchange for a predetermined interest rate. 

Currently, retail investors do not have a direct access to the Malaysian bond market. In order to diversify your investment portfolio, ETF for Bond can be considered.

Why an Exchange-Traded-Bond-Fund (ETF Bond)?

• Access to the inaccessible class of investment.
• Easy to buy; Easy to sell (just like you invest in any share, using the same trading account with existing securities firm via broker or trade online)
• Lower charges as compared to buying a unit trust
• Diversify your investment
