Hahaha I would say too much ASEAN stocks..

No guarantee that dca will result in profit over the long term. It depends highly on the fund, all dca does is smooth out the ups and down of the performance.....

Attempt to dca in a lousy fund will result in lousy results, but then again past performance does not indicate future performance....

Any agent who tell you otherwise should be shot...

Correct buying REIT got no sales charge .....

but...

have to pay brokerage fee, clearing fee and stamp duty. There is No free lunch (unless pinky belanja )

Your friend is misleading or delusional..and IF he solely concentrate on REIT, I cannot imagine he is doing well lately.

BTW Most REIT in Malaysia HAVE management fee like UT... about 0.5%-1.0% p.a.

He said REIT safer bet? Did he saw the blood bath in REIT lately? Or he conveniently ignore it?

REIT moves up like bond during good times, fall like equities during bad times... remember this. Reit follows bond yield so it is not much riskier or safer than bonds, just another asset class..

The best risk adjusted portfolio is having a combination of equities, bonds, reits and commodities. Having only 1 type will put all your eggs in 1 basket.
