Yes you can do that but most boutique funds only send monthly reports to their clients and I would prefer the convenience of calling them directly if i need to take immediate actions. Often the info u can obtain through conversations can help u make better decisions.

Just beware, the info given by them the last time may hv changed substantially.
Also their decision made to buy and hold may not be the same as yours.

Its still extra money you can use. I use this concept for income tax as well. Whatever money paid to govt is gone. If you can pay less income tax to govt, you have more for yourself.

You want to pay more tax or you want more for yourself. Allocate, savings in my eyes they are the same. That's why I am simple person. Keep personal finance simple. It doesn't have to be complicated.

It's off topic so I post it here.

The saved money is NOT gone.
Just that you need to allocate that "saved" money into other places...
It is also taken out from your budget.

that money placed into other places is only supposely meant to cover future insurance repricing. Not meant for other purposes.

30 yrs ago, when the starting pay were just about 200 pm, to hv 1 millions saved at age 55 seems like really rich.
30 yrs later, now 1 millions, is still 1 million but just in numbers only.

Maybe this data can help to add some factors in to the reason of why many had less than 1 mil in kwsp after working for 30-40 yrs....

Look at the educational level by % from 1984 to 1997.
Look at the starting salary for people from each education level from 1984 to 1997.

University graduates earned the most, started earning with <900 in 1997
University graduates is only some 4.84% in 1984, 6.21% in 1989 and just 11.19% in 1997 of the population


Inequality and Determinants of Earnings in
Malaysia, 1984–1997*

(P/s, I don't hv an University education, and i started to work in 1981 with a starting pay of 180 basic pay, moved jobs and in 1989 reached abt 900)

more "awareness" because of more information...
too much credit and liquidity floating around...
opportunities of all types... influencer, talk cock, gig econ like driving, delivery... onlyfans  brows.gif  etc

And when all else fails, they still have the ultimate cheat code... FAMA!  laugh.gif

There's also the Wealth Bottleneck generation: 4 grandparents and 2 parents funnel wealth into 1 or 2 lucky descendants

💯👍 some thing similar like what young Singaporeans are enjoying now.
The value of the Properties from Grandparents n Parents will end up with them .....
