Which one is better investment? Gold or ASB?

Before we discuss in details, let us see the differences between these 2 kind of investment

ASB INVESTMENT



Calculation:

E.g year 2000 until year 2008

11.75 + 10 + 9 + 9.25 + 9.25 + 9 + 8.55 + 9 + 8.75 = 84.55 %

In summary, total profit in ASB for 8 years is 84.55% (include bonus per year)


GOLD INVESTMENT

YEAR (DEC)

BUY

SELL

2002

1335

1387

2003

1615

1678

2004

1699

1766

2005

1989

2057

2006

2271

2347

2007

2858

2952

2008

3099

3200

2009

3669

3902

E.g 1 oz kijang emas

Calculation:

RM3902 - RM1335 = RM2567

RM2567 x 100/RM1335 = 192.38%

In summary, the gold increase about 192.38% in 7 years. Therefore 1 year approximate to 27.46%.

MY CONCLUSION

ASB is one of good investment because the track record for the last 15 years are still consider higher than any Fixed Deposit (FD) or any other investment. However gold investment have a track more than 10 decades based on the world gold price and still proven as strong investment than others.

ASB has 2 types which are loan and non-loan. ASB loan can get higher profit because you can make loan until RM200,000. But you must remember Base Lending Rate (BLR). It will cut your profit because you consider as taking personal loan. However, ASB non-loan get a solid dividen and bonus but small volume of profit unless you are rich

For me, both of these investment are good. Why not investing in ASB and gold vice versa?
