Folks,

In this thread, I provide the basic step to step approach on how to use US ETF to do asset Asset Allocation investing.

The ETF to be used in this illustration are VT and BND.

If a person is convinced that they can time the market to buy and sell, this is not the approach that you want.  This thread is for people that want a simple low maintenance approach to investing.

Glad to see another Boglehead in here. I'm surprised people don't take this approach. The costs of the MF/UT's in Malaysia are ridiculous. 5.75% front-load fees? 1.5 - 2% expense ratios? LOL f*** that shit! Vanguard/Fidelity/Schwab all the way!

Personally, I felt that if I were in the situation of many working Malaysians where they are restricted to the high cost UT's from crap places like Public Mutual or OSK, I'd rather take 3 months to read up intensely and buy individual stocks to build my own index fund.

dylanw,

They just need to buy ETF.  It is equivalent to index fund.  I had explained on this thread.

Yup, I read that. Sound advice. Could you explain how to set up a brokerage account in SG/HK? And is there a currency requirement (like only purchases in SGP/HKG)? I would imagine that they restrict sign-ups to people with a SG/HK address.
