Course Synopsis

The Employees Provident Fund’s Members Investment Scheme (EPF-MIS) was introduced in 1996 and has undergone many changes over the years. The latest is where eligible members can now make an informed investments of unit trust funds offered by EPF-approved Fund Management Institutions (FMIs) through the self-service i-Invest online platform within the i-Akaun (Member) portal.

A key element of the online investment facility is that sales charges are now practically zero as the EPF has enforced a maximum cap of 0.5%. This has changed the investment landscape of unit trust consultants and investment advisors towards a more comprehensive and complete investment and financial planning landscape besides recognising the importance of EPF-MIS in securing a long-term relationship with clients.

This e-learning course will equip unit trust consultants, investment advisors and individual investors with the necessary knowledge to implement strategies to maximise one’s retirement savings via the EPF-MIS.
