VCA is more dynamic and superior compared to DCA but still there's an arguement on which one is better.

During office hours when I wanna read some news I usually go MarketWatch.com, they display Nikkei, Hang Seng, Shanghai and STI on the main page, that's why I'm more familiar with the movements of these indices, South Korean Kospi and Australian S&P ASX I seldom see

Well, improvise lo, don't die die follow strictly. Even when markets are flying, I made it a point to top up a minimal amount (RM100-RM200).

Bloomberg and Yahoo! Finance are my feeder for indices figures and broader financial news title.

OT: Pink Spider, are you a CFP? Or you're just an accountant (perhaps senior post or even charted)?

ACCA Affiliate only actually can apply for full membership already but I lazy to fill up the forms

Not working in professional practice i.e. audit or tax, so the status of qualified or not doesn't really matter much.

oh ok, so with VCA, if tat particular portfolio dropped rm200 tis month, so u add rm700 next month? then if ur portfolio keep earning rm500 every month u also cannot top up if u stick with the VCA? haha..

If that's the case, u should revise/review your portfolio strategy

KLCI feel-good is still on, good time to switch out to avoid GE selldown. Feel wanna switch out my 100% Malaysian equity EI Equity Income, but where to? GEM or Asia Pacific Shariah Equity

GEM - no exposure to HK (non-China stocks) Singapore and Australia
APSE - no exposure to haram stocks esp banks

How

i wanna take profit from my OSK-UOB Kidsave fund. should i switch to CMF or another bond fund in OSK-UOB which i dont have now (maybe OSK-UOB Income)?

what's the pros and cons?

If u wanna switch into OSK-UOB Income, DON'T DO SWITCHING (RM25 switching fee, remember?). Sell KidSave, then buy into Income. Income is a 0% SC fund. It's no AmDynamic Bond where u can get 5-10% p.a., but u can safely get 3.5-4% p.a. from it.

KidSave is quite steady, I think u can keep it if its not at a significant % of ur portfolio. U may even top up should it drops.

Eastspring Investments non-Shariah APexJ fund sucks , but the Shariah variant performed great, consistently beat its benchmark (Dow Jones Islamic APexJ).

Thinking...

GEM covers most of APexJ except for domestic HK, Singapore and Australia

Australia has the biggest mining companies, Singapore has some good yielding Telcos

Both GEM and APexJ covers Philippines

So, u reckon Emerging Asia has better potential than Developed Asia?

Like 0.01% arr....

Tried to top up on OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield Fund but not in the list anymore. Is this fund closed already?

I strike a balance, hence concentrating on Asia ex. Japan... not Asia Pacific ex Japan. The difference is coverage on mid Asia countries like India, Sri Lanka, and other emerging nations there...

Most funds have about 60% developed Asia (China, HK, SG, Korea, Aus) and 40% on emerging Asia (SEA, India).

Yea wor

It's my favourite global equity fund

*PM LiveHelp now*

Call helpline better, can talk to sweet lenglui voice mar...

Eastspring Investments' Asia Ex-Japan funds have exposure to central-mid Asia too.

The Shariah variant seem to focus on IT and materials as its got no exposure to financials.

My equity funds now:
AmAsia Pac REITs 14%
EI Equity Income 10%
EI GEM 30%
Hwang Asia Quantum 17%
Pacific Global Stars 9%
OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield 19%

Sifu, GEM or AexJ Shariah?
