Mr. Alex, is your calculation factoring in a total monthly investment of 600k split equally between unit trusts and bonds?

Great to see how the two options are able to deliver different results over a long period of time, just for clarity has the computation already taken care of the withholding tax charged on the treasury bonds. Thanks for your efforts towards empowering us with financial knowledge

Hi Alex, Thanks for this. I'd like to ask:

1) BOU doesnt auction the same bond every month. How would I be expected to invest every month consistently yet BOU is not auctioning the bond? I find myself left with the option of using secondary markets which are usually expensive.

2) In your articles, you have always encouraged us to 'reinvest the coupon'. Please specify how this is done. I signed up for a bond but I didnt see the option of 'reinvest coupon'. Is there such a checkbox that I missed or I have to manually go back to my bank and ask to reinvest it using their secondary market price?
