Attractive prizes await winners for ASNB’s Phase 3 savings campaign ending this Feb 29

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 2.37 million entries has been received since the launch of the ‘Simpan Vaganza’ and ‘Simpan Vaganza Online’ campaigns in March last year.

Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB) chief executive officer and executive director Muzzaffar Othman said Phase 3 of the campaigns is still ongoing until Feb 29 this year.

The savings campaigns are part of the unit trust management company’s initiatives to encourage Malaysians to save, as well as to utilise digital solutions in investment transactions.

The Simpan Vaganza campaign is specifically open for Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) and Amanah Saham Bumiputera 2 (ASB 2) investments, while the Simpan Vaganza Online is open for investments in any ASNB unit trusts through digital banking platforms. Both campaigns are executed in three phases.

Phase 1 took place from March 1 to June 30, 2023; Phase 2 from July 1 to Oct 31, 2023; and Phase 3 from Nov 1, 2023 to Feb 29, 2024.

The savings campaigns, said Muzzaffar, have received positive response from both existing and new investors. Each campaign offered various attractive prizes worth over RM880,000 – including unit trusts, electronic goods, holiday vouchers and the grand prize of a Toyota Yaris.

“As you increase your savings, you will also have the opportunity to become the super grand prize winner of a Toyota Cross 1.8G AT,” he said.

“ASNB encourages Malaysians to continue investing in ASNB to meet their financial objectives, such as funding education for themselves and their children, buying a home and building retirement savings,” he said at the prize presentation ceremony for the Phase 2 campaign here recently.

The prize presentation ceremony witnessed 39 Phase 2 winners receiving their prizes.

Majid Mohamad, 69, the grand prize winner of the Phase 2 Simpan Vaganza campaign who took home a Toyota Yaris, said: “I have been investing with ASNB since the 1980s, and my wife and children have also chosen ASB as our family’s preferred investment instrument.

Simpan Vaganza Online grand prize winner Adzlan Ishak, 34, meanwhile, shared his seamless digital investment experience through the myASNB app which he deemed as beneficial in boosting his investment portfolio.

In another development, ASNB recently announced a distribution of income of 5.25 sen per unit for its main fund – ASB – for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2023. With competitive returns and low-risk investment features, ASB remains the choice of over 10.5 million unit holders.

ASNB has also upgraded the myASNB app to ‘Superapp’ to enhance investment experience for unit holders.
