But investors, especially young working adults can start small and make use of existing incentives such as the PRS Youth Incentive to complement their existing retirement savings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may seem counter-intuitive for those in their mid-20s to already start thinking about their retirement, but time is of the essence and the sooner you start the better. Also, do not underestimate the power of compounding, whereby you can earn returns upon your returns, by reinvesting your income back into your investments and receive additional units. Any investor can make use of this financial truism, the trick is to start early,\u201d said Ai Mei.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Affin Hwang Asset Management Berhad declared its sixth income distribution for Affin Hwang Private Retirement FundsSolutions since its launch in 2012.
