I dont have 6 month emergency fund. But as per white lighter reply, maybe can put in low risk money fund? Thinking of maybe put in wahed invest?
*
not sure how you would like your emergency fund to be....
Wahed is not as liquid as saving a/c or bank efd
Wahed has chances of losing some of the capital

usually when people talked about emergency fund,...they would want it to be liquid and easy access to it when in emergency

I currently have Eastspring Growth fund and Small Cap fund. (Growth fund gaining and Small Cap losing at the moment)

Thinking about switching one of them to Dynasty Equity fund. Which one to switch?

Are you planning to do the switch due to the performance or returns or for diversification considerations?

if for diversification,...
then since you have
Eastspring Growth fund and Small Cap fund and you are thinking about switching one of them to Dynasty Equity fund.....
1 is focused on larger cap while the other is focused on small cap....

why not split 1/2? reduce 1/2 of each so that you will still have small cap and large caps in Malaysia while you add in Dynasty?

How to determine whether it is good time to sell RHB Dynamic fund at a good price? This is because the UT price will be known at 5pm of the day.

I bought this fund long time ago. It is a cash plan. The agent already resigned.

I inquiry CS both in RHB and RHB invesment bank. No online platform able for me to sell and only can walk-in to RHB invesment bank sell it.

Secondly, which closing day price will be my selling price if I walk-in to branch to sell during morning time?

if the price starts to fall on the day you are selling,...then you may consider yourself lucky as it just started to fall.....
think , what if you had waited for sometimes after the start of the fall?...if it had fallen for some times...the selling price would be much lower .... biggrin.gif

Good Morning Guys,

Can anyone help me to understand how Annual Trustee Fee work?

I dont quite understand if a Fund says that its Annual Trustee Fee is "Up to 0.08% subject to a minimum of RM18,000 per annum (excluding foreign custodian fees and charges)"

How will this affect my potential profits/losses?

try page 42,...hope it helps

Hi Sifus and sekalian,

Sorry for asking since I first time buying any investment , do u guys know more about these funds recommend by the manager , issit a good time to buy now ?

Do you want to try the following allocation?

1) Kenanga Global Multi Asset Fund
- RM20k

2) RHB Global AI
- RM5k

3) AmChina A-Shares
- RM5k

This way you have US + China + Global. The KGMAF fund invests globally and AI will allocate automatically.

how much does all these 3 funds lost in just 1 months?...
if you happened to buy them on 9 Feb 2021 and held till now 9 Mar?

check the drop % and see if you can stomach those total % of losses and total $$ in MYR value too...

if i am not mistaken, it is something like this.....
RHB Global Artificial Intelligence Fund - MYR Hedged lost 12.37% in that 1 month (lost RM 618)
AmChina A-Shares - MYR lost about 19% during that 1 month (lost RM 950)
how much does this Kenanga Global Multi Asset Fund lost in that same period?

He sent me last year one tho about the kenanga ( copied from msg ) not sure if is related to what I asked

Kenanga
This is one of the fund fact sheets. ROI for 2020 is 80.47%.

Investments return is not guaranteed ya. The fund managers are targetting 15% return per annum for this year.

Rhb
This fund last year 2020 is 91.37% return.
*
in 2019 that kenanga fund lost 23.5%
in 2018 it lost 4.93%

if you can stomach the volatility then it is a good thing, since you will be focusing on the performance gained...
just make sure you don't chicken out and exit those funds during the drops...else you will suffer losses

Hi all. I was wondering what you guys think about the Affin Hwang Asia Pacific (ex Japan) Select Dividend Fund.

It seems to have relatively high management fees (1.85% p.a. as opposed to the more common 1.5% p.a. For equity funds). Naturally the management expense ratio is on the high side too (1.96 in 2019 and 1.97 in 2020).

Additionally the portfolio turnover ratio seems fairly high for a dividend focused fund (generally above 2.00, for the past 3 years at least).

The returns seem fairly okay however (annualised return about 12% and total return of about 42% over 3 years).

What are your thoughts sifus? Is this a decent fund for fairly steady returns over the long term (10-20 years or so)? Do the high costs justify the returns?
*
not sarcastic or wanting to hurt your feeling....
just that, if you are really concerned of those "fees", i hope you will reconsider unit trust as your choice of investment
those fees can go up/down in future....what if you noticed that the fees are higher than now few years later?....

NAV are the one that are used to judge how the fund performed....NAV are net of all other fees
i would forget about those fees if the fund gives me ROI that make me happy.

compare the past performance of this fund against funds of its similar peers to see how it performed VS it fees...

can you take the fund's volatility?
example....
2016, ROI 5.06%
2017, ROI 24.86%
2018, ROI - 11.53%
2019, ROI 18.13%
2020, ROI 31.10%

3-Yr Annualised Volatility = 17.23%
3-Yr Sharpe Ratio = 0.58

i would say, even for long terms investing, you will still need to do some monitoring and evaluation to determine if the "skills/luck" of the fund manager did change over time when compared with its peers.....Don't just buy and forget over the next 10-20 yrs....
