SC pinda garis panduan unit amanah
KUALA LUMPUR 23 Feb. - Suruhanjaya Sekuriti (SC) sedang meminda Garis Panduan Unit Amanah bagi mengadakan struktur pelbagai kelas produk unit amanah.
Pengerusinya, Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar berkata, pindaan itu akan membolehkan dana unit amanah tunggal menawarkan pelbagai kelas unit dengan setiap kelas memiliki ciri-ciri berbeza seperti yuran dan bayaran yang dikenakan serta dan mata wang yang digunakan.
Katanya, peningkatan tahap produk sofistikated dan pilihan pengagihan yang ditawarkan berdasarkan keperluan industri perlu selaras dengan piawaian tinggi pengendalian dan pemberitahuan jualan.
''Kita akan sentiasa mengkaji garis panduan sedia ada berdasarkan maklum balas yang diterima daripada pelbagai pemegang kepentingan, selain pemantauan pembangunan antarabangsa.
''Industri ini berkembang dan kita perlu lebih inovatif, mencari jalan baru yang lebih baik untuk memberi pelabur banyak pilihan bagi memenuhi kehendak mereka,'' katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas majlis penyampaian Anugerah Edge-Lipper Starmine 2010 di sini hari ini.
Sebagai contohnya, katanya, para pelabur diberi pilihan untuk memilih atau membayar yuran pendahuluan dengan yuran tahunan lebih rendah atau yuran tahunan lebih tinggi bagi menggantikan yuran pendahuluan.
Tambah beliau, pendekatan tersebut akan membolehkan pelabur mendapat padanan yang lebih baik bagi rujukan pelaburan untuk kumpulan pelabur berbeza.
Zarinah berkata, dengan pilihan mata wang akan memberi kemudahan pemasaran kepada pelabur asing yang melabur secara terus dalam mata wang masing-masing berbanding terpaksa melakukan pertukaran mata wang dalam ringgit ketika ini.
''Pendekatan ini juga adalah sama sekiranya pelabur tempatan mahu terdedah kepada pelaburan asing,'' ujarnya.
Terdahulu, ketika menyampaikan ucaptamanya, Zarinah menyeru industri unit amanah tempatan terus meluaskan rangkaian produk dan pasarannya.
Tegas beliau, negara mempunyai kelebihan sebagai pusat Pasaran Modal Islam dan kini memiliki 144 unit amanah berlandaskan Syariah.
Beliau menambah, pengantara unit amanah tempatan merupakan yang terbaik di rantau ini dan mempunyai kedudukan baik untuk memainkan peranan signifikan dalam arena serantau.
''Sekarang industri mesti meningkatkan cabaran dengan meluaskan rangkaian dengan pasaran-pasaran lain dan memperbaiki kecekapan di peringkat antarabangsa, dengan kelebihan kemudahan rangka kerja perundangan yang telah diwujudkan,'' katanya.

Increase your Personal Sales by looking for more new investor prospects!
Dear NCs,
CONGRATS! to Ustaz Shahimi and his agency for making group outing to do FTF (face to face) prospecting as their main agenda. The latest outing was done near a brand new supermarket in Kulim where it's a happening place other than shopping - bowling, family entertainment and of course food. They enjoyed it so much to the extend of being ousted out of the premises by the security officer. Well, that's normal when you do undercover activities like that just ignore it & keep doing it that's all and have FUN!
Another place you might want to go frequently is the local EPF office. Your EPF prospects will be walking in and out so be creative to get in touch with them. In Klang i heard they set up a canopy outside of the EPF compound and happily roping prospects to invest with them. So get OUT and do more prospecting Insyaallah your results will improve. Good Luck!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve raised its emergency lending rate for the first time since the financial crisis, lifting the dollar and hitting bonds as markets brushed off Fed assurances it was not a prelude to a rise in the main policy rate.
The Fed cast its decision to raise the discount rate it charges banks by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent as a response to improved market conditions that allowed it to scale back emergency aid for financial institutions.
It took pains to distinguish its efforts to foster market liquidity from monetary policy and to draw the distinction between the discount rate and its main federal funds rate, which remains near zero to help a fragile U.S. economic recovery. Fed officials also insisted the move that takes effect on Friday was not a sign that a policy tightening was forthcoming.
"They do not signal any change in the outlook for monetary policy and are not expected to lead to tighter financial conditions for households and businesses," Fed Governor Elizabeth Duke said in an address, echoing the Fed statement.

Global market soars!!
NCs,
Don't waste time get more sales as market is going to be bullish..(Pls read on)
Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer, On Tuesday February 16, 2010, 5:49 pm EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Signs that the economy is indeed strengthening gave investors a surge of optimism and sent stocks sharply higher.
The Dow Jones industrials soared almost 170 points Tuesday on upbeat earnings reports and corporate deals. Investors who have been anxious in recent weeks about economic problems overseas were able to put aside their concerns for the time being. They focused instead on the domestic economy.
The dollar fell as investors felt less of a need to stash their money in safer investments. Oil, gold and other commodities joined stocks as the beneficiaries of the market's renewed confidence. And the stocks of energy and materials producers were among the day's big winners.
European markets also rose following new plans by European Union leaders to push Greece to get its budget under control. European officials gave Greece one month to prove it can cut its deficits. Debt problems in European countries including Greece, Portugal and Spain have been a major factor behind weakness in global stock markets in recent weeks.
A strong earnings report from Barclays, a major European bank, also gave the market some relief. European banks have been slower to recover than their U.S. counterparts, and investors saw the bounceback at Barclays as an encouraging sign.
In the U.S., Kraft Foods Inc. and apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch reported earnings that beat expectations, while drugmaker Merck & Co. said profits jumped after the company bought its longtime partner Schering-Plough Corp.
Earnings reports over the past month have mostly come in better than expected, but problems in the global economy have overshadowed that good news and pushed the market lower.
"Earnings have been good, but pushed to the back seat," behind Europe's problems, said Alan B. Lancz, president of Alan B. Lancz & Associates in Toledo, Ohio. The strong reports Tuesday "superseded some of these worries."
Meanwhile a bold acquisition move by the nation's largest mall owner raised hopes that businesses are feeling more confident about the economy.
Simon Property Group has offered to acquire its ailing rival, General Growth Properties, for $10 billion. General Growth, the No. 2 mall operator, filed for bankruptcy protection last year.
The Dow rose 169.67, or 1.7 percent, to 10,268.81. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 19.36, or 1.8 percent, to 1,094.87, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 30.66, or 1.4 percent, to 2,214.19.
About five stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.2 billion shares, down from 4.5 billion Friday.
In other deal news, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said it was buying RBS Sempra Commodities' global oil, global metals and European power and gas assets in a deal worth about $1.7 billion. The move nearly doubles JPMorgan's corporate client base for commodities.
Economic reports throughout the holiday-shortened week will also provide insight into the economy. Market were closed Monday for President's Day.
A report on manufacturing in the New York area was stronger than expected. The Empire State manufacturing index rose to 24.91 this month, compared with a forecast of 18, according to economists polled by Thomson Reuters. The index was 15.92 last month.
Reports on housing starts, jobless claims and inflation are due out later this week.
Merck rose 74 cents, or 2 percent, to $37.66. In addition to its earnings results Merck also announced details of the combined company's restructuring plans, the first phase of which expected to bring annual savings of up to $3 billion in 2012.
Barclays' New York-listed shares jumped $2.35, or 13 percent, to $19.03.
Simon Property rose $2.82 or 3.9 percent to $74.82 after announcing its hostile offer for General Growth. General Growth's best known centers include the Glendale Galleria in Southern California and the South Street Seaport in Manhattan.
Simon Property's bold move "sends a signal that the economy might be doing better," said Giri Cherukuri, a portfolio manager and head trader at OakBrook Investments in Lisle, Ill. The Simon Property deal is especially positive because it shows mall operators are upbeat about the retail industry and employment.
Among energy companies, Exxon Mobil Corp. rose $1.48, or 2.3 percent, to $66.28. Occidental Petroleum Corp. rose $1.38, or 1.7 percent, to $81.18.
Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. rose 46 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $13.74. DuPont rose 46 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $32.74.
Bond prices edged higher as concerns about the Greek debt crisis began to wane. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.67 percent from 3.70 percent late Friday.
The dollar fell. Crude oil jumped $2.88 or 4 percent to settle at $77.01 a barrel.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 10.12, or 1.7 percent, to 620.84.
Overseas, Britain's FTSE 100 rose 1.5 percent, Germany's DAX index gained 1.7 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose 1.7 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.2 percent.

How to Make Your Business Stand Out from the Crowd
By Bill Stack

One of the more common complaints I hear among business owners is how tough the competition is and how it’s getting tougher every day. The reality is that competition will never disappear; however, there are several effective strategies that can reduce the competition’s influence on your business.
In this column, I’ll focus on two of the most fundamental approaches: Defining your Unique Value Proposition (UVP) and having a written Guarantee. Unique Value Proposition This is also referred to as a Unique Selling Proposition (USP). Many use the terms synonymously. Personally, I like the term “value” vs. “selling”, because at the end of the day, the reason your customers buy from you is the overall value you provide, not just what product/service you are selling.
To really define what a UVP is, it’s useful to break down the phrase and define each word: Unique - Refers to the characteristics of your product or service that distinguish you from as many of your competitors as possible. It’s the “what you do” and “how you do it” that clearly differentiates your product/service.
Value – It defines what your customers get for their money or the intrinsic worth of your offering to your customers. It’s also important to note that value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and what we think our customers value may be completely different from what they really value.
Proposition – It’s your factual and truthful proposal to your customer. Being able to qualify and quantify your claims is critical and makes your UVP that much stronger! In sum, your UVP is a distinct offer to your target market in which they get more than they give up (as perceived by them, of course) in relationship to other alternatives, which may include buying nothing at all.
While having a UVP may seem obvious, it’s amazing how many businesses truly don’t have a UVP, or if they do, they clearly don’t communicate it to their target market. If your UVP needs some updating (or if you don’t have one at all), then it’s time to do some market research. You need to know what your customers (and prospective customers) value, why they value it, and what result it achieves for them.
One effective approach is to sit down and talk to ten of your top customers. Ask them why they buy from you and what makes you different from your competition. They will give you your UVP (but in their words) and will likely provide reasons and insights you never knew or expected. Additionally, competitive research can also complement and refine some of the information you receive from your top customers and help you better define your UVP.
