Thanks for your explanation. Nowadays, no investment is guaranteed for
long term.

i would like to enlighthen the future-investors our there on the difference of the terms “cap. protected” and “cap. guaranteed”. these two terms have a totally different meaning in the financial world. alot of layman have this misconception that they r the same bu its not. “cap. protection” only mean that the investment house will take all the precautionary measures & in their best ability; ie due diligence, risk mitigation & etc to 'protect' our investments, and its not a guarantee that u will get back your cap. in full if the investment turns bad. “cap. guaranteed” is what it means. so far i dont think there's any financial institution that offers “cap. guaranteed”.

beats me! Maybe need to do some research first before commenting

For the above, could you insert the underlying fund strategy of the different structured products? as you may have already have all the available info on hand. The Centennial Max has one major differentiation, it is based on Long Short method. In overseas market, investors can sell stocks first and buy later, this is call short. So whether the market is up or down, the investor can still find money making opportunity. So unlike our Bursa, which only allow buy (long) only. So it is more possible for Centennial Max achieve a consistent return as compared to the funds invested locally. Locally we can only buy and hold, when market down, everybody loss money.. so pls let us know the strategy, very crucial!

this is an awesome piece of writing! Please note that there is a difference between capital guaranteed fund and capital protected fund. I wonder how many in the market is a true capital guaranteed fund
