nah, no wan no more Asian real estate funds - i want the other side of the world (US, UK, EU, Brazil, etc.) coz i'm like er.. having a chunk of my % for Real Estate Equities in AmAPac REITs exJap + SG REITs + MY REITs. Want a bit of them other side earth

Just got a reply from the ever helpful & fast Eugene.
Snippets:

"For Aberdeen’s fund, the setting is similar to other funds where you will enjoy the FSM Rewards Program."

"Yes, all the funds under HwangIM is not applicable to any sales charge discount under normal circumstances. For the order on 26 Jan 2013, all the funds including HwangIM will entitle to 0.5% sales charge."

Looks like i'll be loading up a bit on Hwang's Global Property Fund.. i dislike bulk purchase but... need to rebalance badly (stuck between a rock & a hard place)

Lump sum scary lar
I'd rather to "TwinVest" every quarter (with $1K startup a/c this 26th)

Pinky Silver he said.
Me = blur status, neither gold nor silver

Anyhow, heard from FSM that no other Aberdeen nor Templeton funds incoming for the immediate future or so wor.. argh..

BTW, just to share:
If SCB to iFAST / FSM SCB a/c, can transfer >$5K per online transfer.
Just tested on Mon
Woohoo! No need to do mulitple transfers (lazy baka here )

Nah, personally i'm going to (use 1) : (keep aside 1.5) of the cash to rebalance only
ie. 1/2.5 * $x
reasoning - if this lump sum falls 50%, my remaining 1.5x if buy-in at 50% fall & go back up 50% only, i'd still make 20%+ hehe - IF lar

Edited with correct ratios AFTER caffeine injection

hehe - i usually email Eugene directly, hardly email client help other than 1st time. That's when Eugene took up my case.
I did ask whether what is the norm process / windows & he said to email him.
Dunno whether norm or not though - i must be be giving him some extra pains as a customer with non-stop Qs

er.. i think Kaka & us were talking about DIRECTLY plonking into MMarket or Bond funds which counts towards Silver & Gold member, unlike PM's MGQ which is only "earned" if it's a "loaded" unit (bonds/MM funds are considered low load, not "loaded").

Thus, U are right but i think "on a different channel"

1% discount!! woohoo! <wishing>

Sure ada... jual kidney, jual lung, jual anjing, jual ibu...
i wish.. $500K cash in FSM? now? i'm a tah kuhng chai (worker ant) only lar

during retirement maybe lar heheh

Anyhow, i bet there are several with more than $500K with FMS liao (hor Gark hor )

FSM has 1 laptop there for U to use.
Farnee lar, dont even need to go to get 0.5% coz... no control system as far as i can see other than the physical signing in, which any Tom d*** Harry can do on your behalf

Gone, plonked (into funds), back liao bwhahah

That was the planned for see food Wong but since the prizes aint that much, not worthwhile to hang around till 6pm

Parking $4 wor.. manyak suckit
I "made" $300+ this morning hehe , thanks to Hwang's funds - heck, 2% even for gold members

Uncle hungry lar - reached 9:30am, 9:50am inside, 10:30 back out at car park liao & 11:30 eating @ home
Kaka reached there 11+/-
Met Eugene in person though hehe

Pink - Eastspring had a semi-hawt woman there leh.
Other than that + the 0.5% main pull for this kiam siap uncle, ok lar.

BTW, Eugene mentioned there may be a makan for gold members
Pls dont quote moi ar.. MAY is the key word.

Yar lor - @ Hwang's booth, i waited to ask them "What's so special or "special" about Hwang's that even gold members are not given 0.5% discount? " but.. too many other uncles were there to ask dumb Qs just to get freebies

heheh.. actually, U gotta thank the crowd leh. If EVERYone behaves rationally, we're screwed...

heheh - ninja-style also can get through
The verifications are manual as shared earlier, thus, non-major sized stuff i think they "glazed over"

U giving me ideas.. for next Penang & KL 0.5% (if any)...

bwahaha... Me? VIP? Very Institutionalized Person maybe lar as in Happy Hospital type of institutions .

Anyhow, no harm in throwing a brick @ FSM to use this channel as support & info dissemination. Let's see if Eugene & gang are game & can sell the idea to their bosses.

yeah, on & off, I get PMed asking how can FSM be safe vs big PubMut

Anyhow, I've emailed him on it, see worth selling the idea of info/clarification area, not investment per se.
