Progressive Investment Plan

Progressive Investment Plan
Introducing the Citibank Progressive Investment Plan, a 2-in-1 investment programme which allows you to enjoy potentially better investment opportunities while earning an attractive interest rate via time deposits.

With an investment period of 6 months, you can now take a proactive approach to investing.
Invest progressively to manage market volatility No one can predict when a market goes up or down, but regular and disciplined investment may let you capitalise on market opportunities whenever they arise. Investing progressively is a strategy when you invest a fixed sum of money regularly over a fixed period of time regardless of market conditions. You may enjoy the benefits of dollar-cost averaging by buying more units at lower prices or less units at higher prices thereby reducing the average cost during falling prices in the market. Why invest progressively? Mitigate your risk exposure by investing on a monthly basis. Manage market timing and remove the emotional factor from your investment decision. A disciplined approach of dollar-cost averaging during market volatility.
How does it work?
Example: 6-month Plan of RM120,000 Your initial placement of RM120,000 will be divided into 6 equal portions. In the first month, RM20,000 is invested into the unit trust fund(s) of your choice. The remaining portions will be placed in a series of 5 time deposits of RM20,000 each, with preferential rates and maturing in consecutive months. As these deposits mature, the principal will be invested into your selected unit trust fund(s). This means you can maximise return on your time deposit while investing progressively. Over a period of time, the investment in unit trust portion will increase as your time deposit matures. At the end of the 6-month period, you will be fully invested in unit trust. • Deposit interest is not included in the illustrated example • Time deposits are eligible for protection by PIDM • Unit trust/Investment is not eligible for protection by PIDM
