So I will just invest into funds with some exposure to hk/china. Not those fully china fund

Well, as for me, I'll do the same thing.

Eastspring Investments Dinasti Equity Fund??
HK 42%, China 29% Taiwan 16%

Who like China?

OSK-UOB BIG CAP CHINA ENTERPRISE FUND ---> > 90% at China or maybe those listed at Hang Seng.

maybe OSK-UOB BIG CAP CHINA ENTERPRISE FUND 20%
Eastspring Investments Dinasti Equity Fund 80% = total of greater china portion in the portfolio?
then would have missed Korea...

I am very new to unit trust and still learning. I am 21 and would like to start investing. I want to start buy units in Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund, Hwang AIIMAN Growth Fund and Hwang AIIMAN Income Plus Fund. Do you think it will be fine dear sifus.?

How u going to buy both of these funds, with the each fund house themselves? The fund u choose is recommended fund under FSM, plan to buy from FSM? The fund u choose is good by the fund itself. But as a investor itself, u should diversify ur portfolio, these 3 funds are concentrate on malaysia market. U should hv asia and global fund to balance up ur risk.

well said....here is the link to the FSM recommended funds 2013.....(may not be what others liked)

Yes i am planning to use FSM. Do you think it is a good idea. Okay which asia and global fund would you recommend me to look at. Anyway thanks for your advice. Really appreciate it!

Yes, FSM is a good platform with lower sales charge, 2% compare 5.5% to 6%. But the downside is, it is totally DIY, u need to know what u r doing. Since u r still young, u can start with small amount and learn along the way, experience is not something can be teach.

Regarding the asia and global, u can choose among the recommended fund in FSM, just make sure u read thru each prospectus and understand what ur fund going to invest.

Bro, not totally DIY lar, FSM's Customer Service is very helpful (available online, u get almost immediate response during office hours) and their Client Investment Specialists (contactable by phone and e-mail) are as good as, if not better than any mutual fund agents out there.

Yes, agreed. Just i never contact them before.

I am new here. Just starting to learn about unit trust.
I've read the basic from the first page of this thread.
What I don't understand is the charges for the trust.
1) Sales charges. What is this charges about?
2) Redemption fees. Will this be stated in advance in the prospectus?
3) Management fees. This will be incorporated in the fund price? Basically the lower the management fee means a more efficient in the management of expenses right?
