With equity funds are not doing well this year (bad economy, generally equity funds becomes high risk low returns?), thinking of switching to balanced or fixed income funds.  Would like to seeks experts' opinions from this forum.  Of course this is a broad question, it is always depends on which equity  fund and which balanced/fixed income funds.

EDIT:  it is always good to diversify, im investing from epf, and already have equity fund, planning to invest in equity fund again, but thinking twice, maybe it is better to put in balanced/fixed income funds.

Recently Zurich Insurance Malaysia Berhad had launched global funds, where they invest in global equities instead of local, as you mentioned local equities currently not doing well.

Hi! Newbie question here.

I have 500K eligible for withdrawal from EPF 55-year pension. No intention of using this fund.

Should I leave it in EPF, which offer better return compared to bank FD?
Or any suggestion how I should invest it to get better return than EPF dividend?

Thanks.

Recommend you to diversify your funds, remain some at epf, put some into FD & some into global equities. PM for info about global equities.

" ..... put some into FD"?

You sure about that? Bro, FD interest rates is so much lower than EPF interest rate!  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

The reason why epf rate is around 6% is because they invest it overseas, mainly in Europe, equities.

hi guys. im new here. i have been lurking around reddit and most of their advice are for US based investment. id like to know if there is any unit trust that has some sort of similar to vanguard investment?

any UT that is based on KLCI index or any other indexes? because i read for a long term, it would be better to invest in index fund since i dont think i can manage individual stocks.

EDIT: its okay guys. just saw one of the other threads saying no index fund in malaysia.
