QUOTE(lazybump_nonsense @ Nov 18 2012, 01:29 AM) Hi all, Started invest in PM few weeks ago, PRSF, PISEF and PISBF(bond fund) are under my portfolio now. Any comment from this 3 funds by all gurus out there? I am still a beginner in investment so I not that sure what "homework" I need to do so I just rely on my UTC. But I also interested in further study in this also. Any gurus out there have some tips for beginner? For the homework after you invested I mean. Thanks in advance ! All the three funds that you quoted are funds from Pub-Mut that has out-perform their respective benchmark. So it is good to buy them. Btw PISEF and PRSF, both are invested in 100% locally. Perhaps you would consider buying into foreign funds to diversify? Xuzen This post has been edited by xuzen: Nov 18 2012, 10:04 AM

If I didn't heard wrongly Europe market is in danger of financial crisis, please correct me if I wrong. By the way, can I take bond fund as saving ? Invest in bond for my extra money rather than keeping them in saving account right ? I am worry about the service charge. Some agent out there suggest investor to separate their risk by investing half into bond and half into equity, then when time is right then switch the bond to equity, how does this work? I don't really get it 😥is this the kind of diversify also?

Hi lazybump,
Yea.. Eurozone is doing quite bad, maybe will remain for 3-5 yrs to come. Just my opinion. For foreign market diversification, ya you can consider Greater China, Asia or Emerging Market. US seems like gaining momentum, but need to monitor what the president going to do to overcome the fiscal cliff.
If you want bond as savings, need to consider your timeframe. Min 1 yr I would day as bond also has risk and volatility. Maybe can part at those better rating bonds rather than high yield bond (Can if you have longer time frame).
I am also doing some percentage into Bond and some into Equities. But havent really execute/exercise them yet because I just started invest actively this 2 yrs. This is just a method that force you to sell high and buy the low. Sell to lock profit and park at bond. Then sell bond to buy into low equities. To do this, you should review and re balancing your portfolio.

Find an agent to help you, you can get an agent through Public Mutual head office, but beware of what they said because there's a conflict of interest as they want sell their product. Do research on their words before you buy their product(unit trust fund)
