FAQs


With a 0% sales charge or fee, investors commence with a substantial investable capital, enabling improved overall performance. In contrast to regular Unit Trusts, the ET Snowball Strategy's performance would outpace them by a minimum of 5%*.

*Assuming 5% is the sales charge for that Unit Trust.




In contrast to conventional Unit Trusts, which involve pooling funds from various investors, the ET Snowball Strategy operates through what is commonly referred to as a Private Mandate. This approach is typically extended to High Net Worth Individuals, often those capable of investing over RM1 million.


ET Snowball performance fee is calculated only after the portfolio has achieved above its previous year watermark. Performance Fee is only charged where applicable once a year and on the anniversary of the start of the portfolio.

Should the portfolio underperform below its previous high watermark no performance fees will be charged to the portfolio.


The high-watermark is the highest net asset value (NAV) that a fund or portfolio has reached since its inception or since the last time performance fees were charged. It represents the peak value that the investment has achieved.

ET Snowball's high-watermark is compounded annually as well. Beginning with 7%, the target for performance fee will be higher each year.

*7% net returns inclusive of 2% management fee: Total 9% returns


In the case of traditional Unit Trusts, a portion must be set aside to accommodate customer withdrawals. This implies that potentially only 70% of the total Assets Under Management (AUM) are actively invested, while the remaining 30% is held in cash. Consequently, these Unit Trusts are compelled to generate a minimum of 30% return on their invested 70% to achieve a 'breakeven' point.

Another key distinction between ET Snowball Strategy and traditional Unit Trusts lies in the fact that withdrawals do not impact the overall fund performance.


Pros of Open Ended Funds
  • Investors can partially withdraw their funds at any time
  • Quick liquidity options
  • Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated at end of day

Cons of Open Ended Funds
  • Investor's withdrawal may affect total fund performance
  • Vulnerable to large outflows & inflows. Large outflows may force the fund manager to sell their holdings even if the timing isn't ideal
  • Ease of withdrawal makes it more difficult for investors to compound their portfolio
Pros of Closed Ended Funds
  • Potentially high returns
  • Fund managers has more control over portfolio
  • Not affected by sudden inflows or outflows

Cons of Closed Ended Funds
  • Greater price volatility
  • Limited number issued
  • Not as liquid as Open Ended Funds due lock-in period


The ET Snowball Strategy offers a unique blend of advantages, bridging the gap between a traditional system and innovative solutions.

Whenever an investor intends to enhance their portfolio, a 'new account' is established with the specified amount.

For instance: If an investor initiates an investment with RM100,000 on January 21, 2023, the official commencement of the portfolio will be on February 1, 2023.

Later, if the investor decides to contribute an additional RM50,000 to their portfolio on July 8, 2023, a separate account will be created, and the investment will become active on August 1, 2023.

As a result, the investor will possess two distinct portfolios - one with RM100,000 and another with RM50,000.

Likewise, when considering a withdrawal, the investor will need to close one of their portfolios, either the RM100,000 or RM50,000, constituting a full withdrawal.

Partial withdrawals, such as RM25,000 or RM65,000, will not be permitted under this approach.

This approach guarantees that each managed portfolio has the potential to operate independently and with greater efficiency.
