Hey guys ,Currently I have RM 7000 to invest in Fundsupermart and have decided to split RM 3000 for fixed income funds and RM 4000 for equity funds.For the fixed income funds, I have chosen AMDYNAMIC BOND, RHB BOND FUND , and HWANG SELECT INCOME FUND .I will decide on the equity funds later. Oh yeah that is the maximum amount that i can invest since I am only a student.

I aim to have annual returns of 6% , any comments on the funds that I have chosen?

RHB bond ???
read this for idea
http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...?articleNo=2062
and just a note: 6 % annual return of investment are NOT fixed...at times you can lose about 10% or more...ok for you?

for more info goto page 1, click under "what is unit trust" then click "important of performance"...read that.

I thought amdynamic bond had been closed?

Thanks man, didnt knew about that issue but according to the factsheet that sukuk is not in its top holdings anymore . Anyway I shall reconsider buying it and switch to another Am fund

Yup I have read that .I understand that there are risks involved and the returns are not consistent and there will always be bad years, the worst case scenario is that I will lose my capital .

Yeah just realised that

I think the semi/annual reports dated march 2013 still has mention...I think in the manager's report page 2...
Good to know a student like you can start to think about investment.....it is a good move....but don't neglect your studies....
just a friendly reminder....if in any circumstance where your investment affects your studies..."get out of investing first"

Oh yeah just read it . I have around one month plus of holidays left .I initially thought of placing my money in Bursa but realized that there are still many fundamental and technical stuff that I am not sure of,also I will not have the time to monitor my holdings. My plan is to buy in fundsupermart now , rebalance it annually during holidays and just leave it till I graduate 4 years later so it will not affect my studies .

Very good bro...

If plan to put on autopilot...

Hwang Select Income
OSK-UOB KidSave Trust or Hwang Select Balanced

Hwang Select Opportunity
Alliance Global Equities (don't put too much, but u NEED some global exposure)
Hwang Select Dividend

dear all,

I have selected a fund and I wish to do a fund transfer into the Maybank account, and I'm required to fill a form and attach my bank-in slip together. In this particular form, may I know what is the "Transfer / Bank-in State" ??? means status?

can anyone enlighten me please. thanks!

Only applicable if u do cheque deposit, it means from which state u bank it in e.g. Selangor, Perak, Kelantan etc

If u do internet transfer, it's not applicable

For #2, which are their two star Asia Ex Japan funds?

Should be Hwang Select Asia Quantum and Select Asia Opportunity

Some may not be able to stomach the volatility of global equity fund. But u need to at least have some exposure.

But for long term, should be ok, rite? Mine is on autopilot mode also...
