   Should also compare other related Gold investment like Gold ETF (Tradeplus Shariah Gold Tracker) listed on Bursa Malaysia. It trades like shares, so the spread is generally lower than the Bank’s Gold Investment Account and it also has physical gold backing. I personally find that it’s the most cost efficient way to invest in Gold and I also invest in it myself.

    Gold Purity that purchase from bank is 24k?

    since Price Spread per gram is changing over time , this is important for short term investor , but for long term investor should choose lowest Selling Price ? am i correct?

    • 

      MisterLeaf 11-06-2017 [ Reply ]

      Price spread per gram should be the important criteria for both short term and long term investor, because we can only sell back the gold to the bank which we invest.

    price spread is not controlled by BNM?

    • 

      MisterLeaf 29-05-2017 [ Reply ]

      Price Spread per gram = Selling Price – Buying Price
      Selling Price = Bank sell gold to us
      Buying Price = Bank buy gold from us

      Since different bank have different selling and buying price, that’s why the price spread per gram is different between all bank. Example: Maybank sell 1g gold at RM177.43, CIMB sell 1g gold at RM181.50, Public Bank sell 1g gold at RM178.20 at 29 May 2017.

    I went to UOB recently, they told me no physical gold withdrawal is available. They only offer paper gold. Is that right?

    • 

      MisterLeaf 25-11-2016 [ Reply ]

      I just checked their website. Here is the information:

      Conversion to physical gold
      You may convert the gold purchased under Premier Gold Account and Gold Savings Account to physical gold (subject to our approval). A conversion fee will be charged for the conversion. For Conversion Fees, please refer to “Rates & Fees”.

      Maybe you can check with them again.

    Lately, UOB buy/sell price spread has increased.
    Its now around 2.286%. Quite a big increase from previous spread of 1.6~1.7%.

    They still offers the smallest spread, but the need to transact at branches rather than online (which add to the cost, provide limited transaction time and quite a hassle as their branches are limited in number) make their spread less and less attractive.

    Meanwhile CIMB spread reduced a little to 2.97%. As CIMB allows buy/sell online thru CIMBClick, their GIA will be very attractive if they can lower the spread to 2.4~2.5%.

    MBB spread is around there, at 4.196%. What a huge spread for paper gold. I just don’t know why anyone would invest with them.

    The spread above are based on 23 November 2016 rates.

    can i know the advantage of UOB golden investment compare with other bank?

      BrianTan1979 15-09-2015 [ Reply ]

      UOB have the lowest price spread of RM 2++ which means that you only need to wait for a price increase of RM 2++ before you make a profit.

      I am using UOB gold savings and so far, it haven’t failed me. I managed to transact and make profits even when it is not possible to do so with other banks.

      On the other hand, UOB branches are not that common compared to the other banks and you need to go to the counter to perform the transactions. Online transactions for gold are not available for the common folk.

    Oh, why you choose Maybank? The “Price Spread per gram” is highest among banks in Malaysia.

      Maybank says they do not have yearly management fees. It made it sound Maybank is more acceptable to those keeping less than 10g of gold, as other banks charge management fees at that point?

      • 

        MisterLeaf 07-01-2017 [ Reply ]

        UOB have the lowest price spread of RM 3 which means that you only need to wait for a price increase of RM 3 before you make a profit.
