these were my 2 rides for Foreign Equity when i was doing cash investments with PM
IMHO:
BOTH have a % in Greater China, thus if U use both, U may be overweighting in that area.
ie. "Win big, lose big" if surge or fall like a stone.

Are U mentally prepared?

Hi guys, any good equity fund to recommend except PIX (as I just switched it to PSBF)?

PFSF look good. But one question, u buy under EPF? As I know, PSBF should be closed for normal investment.

PFSF = Public Focus Select Fund?

Yes, I switched to PSBF from PIX which is previously from my EPF.

PSBF = Public select bond fund?

Yes.

you plan to reinvest back from PSBF to equity fund after the General Election?

Nop. I plan to invest in another fund (preferably equity fund) after switching from PIX to PSBF.

Any advices?

Not a pro here and not so familiar with PM/PB funds..

My plan for this year is to invest in funds with Asia ex Japan exposure and REITs fund.

Many are saying should have more weightage on equities, invest in China and Greater China funds, Global Emerging markets funds, BRIC as well..

Yes, public focus select fund, it just outperform my favorite Smallcap fund.
If you switch from EPF, should choose pb islamic bond fund (the best bond fund for public and only can invest thru EPF now).

What a coincidence, PFSF makes up about 15% of my finds with Pub-Mut.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will look at both.

Mine only 4% of my portfolio...

So you means that i focus on one fund first?

PM launch new fund "PB Mixed Asset Conservative Fund (PBMAC)".

It's actually PB but managed by PM:

http://www.publicmutual.com.my/LinkClick.a...jBA%3d&tabid=87

This new fund's proposed portfolio is like Public enhanced bond where 70% in Fixed income, 30% equity. But then Public enhanced bond fund's initial service charge is only 0.25%, compared to this newly launched fund charging 5.5%. Another overcharged service charge fund from PM/PB.

Although 0.25%, but I got no RM100k to invest into Public Enhanced Bond Fund, how?
So, PM know to control their marketing strategics and make u buy the new fund.
