I have just graduated and I wanna start investing by trying out Public Mutual but I'm totally lost about this. Don't know where to start. I plan to invest a few thousands and slowly add few hundreds every month from my salary.
But there's so many "funds" to choose... |

QUOTE(wongmunkeong @ Jun 3 2011, 12:02 PM) Hi Seiken. May i suggest U start your journey into investing by: Thanks. Actually I'm not urgent in terms of investments and I've downloaded the attachment. Lol so many numbers and terms that are hard to understand. I may start on lower risk investments e.g. PBFI and PBSF. a. Learning about $ management & risk management first. This will enable U to know your cash inflow and outflow, plan yr expenses, savings & investments + tell your $ where to go for best impact based on your personal goals and wants. These are the foundations that IMHO that are needed to proceed to the rest of the items If you already know about these, skip to next step b. Investment vehicles, general methods & peculiarities of each investment type and investment methods. +Stocks (excluding REITs) +Bonds +Properties & REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) +Commodities & metals Mutual funds or Unit Trusts are invested in these vehicles. Thus, by learning about these vehicles, U will then know what each Mutual Fund's style are via their prospectus (eg. PSmallCap, PFES, PBOND, etc.) or the general types of mutual funds (Equity Funds, Bond Funds, Balanced Funds) + Mutual Funds' prospectus c. Draw up a cohesive plan - big pix like Asset Allocation & details like which methodology to use (eg. DCA, Value Averaging, Lump Sum during crashes, etc). With these, U'd then be able to select the best mutual funds which fits your goals and plan. My apologies if you're looking for a "buy this & that bcoz..." kind of response. IMHO, investments and in particular, financial planning, is very very subjective and is heavily dependant on the personal goals, risk appetite & how hands-on or hands-off the investor wants. U may want to check out http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1577849/+413 - i've put in a ZIPped file with a few Excel worksheets to help with the calculations + a general overview of Financial Planning. Please note that these are my own personal tools and views and shared as is - use at your own risk I've also read about $ management and thus will only allocate a partial amount from my income into investment. As for now I've accumulated enough savings in FD and savings account so I think it will be safe to start investing a little gua. Haha. In the future I might also want to start investing in stock markets as well....but my profession in healthcare = busy and might not have the time to continuously monitor them... |

QUOTE(Bonescythe @ Jun 3 2011, 02:23 PM) You might want to try Index Fund.. Sorry for off-topic discussion mods.Since our index will be penetrating to new heights this year, KLCI projected to break 1600. It will be a good go into Index Fund now.. After all, this fund will be very good in a long run. Holding power is important here. As a growing country in Malaysia, our index will be at a good growth rate. 1 year ago, KLCI is hovering at 1200, now it is at 1560. Another 3-5 years down the road, we might be able to see KLCI heading towards 1800 range (Skeptical calculation) Btw, KLCI is quite bullish now...is this the right time to go in? I thought should wait for recession lol |

QUOTE(xuzen @ Jun 3 2011, 04:34 PM) Sell on good news, buy on doom & despair... Sorry for da misunderstanding. Nope not gonna take out my FD. I'm just saying that I have a buffer already i.e. emergency cash. As well as allocating some funds for investment I also do the same for my emergency funds. Xuzen Added on June 3, 2011, 4:37 pm Why are you taking out your FD to put into fixed income fund? Makes no sense.. If you have no time to monitor, Regular Saving Plan is the best. Just be a passive investor and continue to generate income from where you know best i.e. your healthcare industry. Xuzen. Yup, investing in my career is important. But not really easy coz there are so many doctors now. Plan to sit and pass my specialist exam in the next 2 years. But that's only Part 1. Got Part 2 and Part 3 lol. |
