According AmInvestment Bank Group chief executive officer and executive director (funds management) Datin Maznah Mahbob, the strategy determined the allocation exposure of the portfolio based on a
volatility management index called “Isovol Index†to a commodity index,
AmIslamic Bank Makmur Commodity Index. The purpose of Isovol Index is to cap the volatility of exposure to the AmIslamic Bank Makmur Commodity Index at 15%.With
this mechanism in place, the portfolio then manages the allocation of
exposure to the Isovol Index at between 20% and 200%.
Too bad there is no prospectus available online. You will have to get it from their representative office.

The income distribution represented a yield of 3.5% investment return for the fund’s financial year based on the net asset value (NAV) per unit of RM1.00 offered during the offer period
F.K,
Take note that there is a possibility of ZERO returns even after maturity. Thus, you may lose the opportunity to earn FD interest rates with your invested money.
Conclusion: Low risk means low return.

The lock in period is 3 years. After maturity, you will get back the 100%
capital, plus all the return made if there is any.
So, what do you think? Is it a good investment? If I were to invest let's say 5K, how much is the return going to be? I mean with maturity? And what happen after maturity? Do i have to withdraw everything? I really have 0 knowledge on this, thank you for advise and guidance.
