Suppose that a mutual fund agent approaches you and promote a fund which allows
you to withdraw money from your Employment Provident Fund (EPF) to invest.
From the analysis of the agent, the fund expected to pay up to 11% return, and you
know that EPF paid an average 6% return and treasury’s return fixed at 2.75%. Based
on the discussion in this chapter and in your opinion, are you going to take the
