Opus Asset Management is a licensed fund manager in Malaysia that specialized fixed income unit trusts. Fixed income funds typically aims to beat bank fixed deposits by investing in bonds (government and investment grade) and money markets. Fixed income funds are usually quite stable and safe but also have very slow capital growth compared to equity funds.
Opus Asset Management seemed to be modernizing their website offerings to suit modern millennials by allowing use of Boostpay to pay for funds. This feature is really nice feature which a lot of unit trusts companies have yet to catch up on. Paying with Boostpay makes payments very easy fast, I just have to whip out my phone, launch Boostpay app then scan the Opus Asset Management QR code given to pay for fund and payment is done instantly. It is much much faster than using FPX where you will be directed to member bank and then have to fumble to key in user id and password and get your tac number.
I got to know about this company (Opus Asset Management) just during 2020 chinese new year where they were having a BoostPay cashback promotion using promo code "HuatWithOpusAM2020" where RM 8 cashback was given upon successfully investing at least RM 200 into their Opus Income Plus Fund. The promotion apparently ends on 15 Feb 2020.
I've signed up for this promo but yet to receive the cashback which according to the terms will take a few days. I will update this page once I got the cashback from Boostpay.
The cashback seems to be placed into the existing investment account (RM8) which is still pending.
Opus Asset Management at the moment do not seem have have a mobile app, only web site called iTouch to do all fund transactions. The website however is mobile friendly and can scale to fit nicely into smartphone screens. There are no sales charges impose for all transactions done via their website.

I noticed Opus Touch settlement is around T+1 day. So you can withdraw and get money the next day T+1. I'm not sure what time is the cutoff but I consider it quite fast already.

My returns on Opus site. I'm satisfied with the 3% returns as we are now living in abnormally low interest rate environment.
