The comparison to AGEF based on factsheet:

Sector allocation (top contribution)
----------------------------------------
Aberdeen: Energy (19%) Healthcare (18%) Materials 13%) Industrials (11%)
AGEF: Finance (29%) Con Discret (20%) IT (15%) Energy (11%)


Countries (top contribution)
-------------------------------

Aberdeen: USA (17%) UK (14,5%) Switzerland (9.6 %) Japan (9.5%) French (8.9%) Italy (5.7%) Brazil (5.1%) Canada (4.9%)
AGEF: USA (12.8%) Japan (12.7%) Cina (8.4%) HK (8.4%) Thailand (7.5%) Indonesia (7.2%) Australia (6.1%) Korea (5.3%) Malaysia (5.2%)

*i see here AGEF has more portion of Asian countries, Aberdeen more in Europe

So i think Aberdeen is quite interesting to expand the diversity, isn't it?

hi everyone, newbies here getting to go into FMS for prs fund, would like to know if most of u open account under personal or beneficiary? if i have open under personal, can a beneficiary added to fund i purchased? thanks in advance

Wow, a very technical question.

Why don't u ask FSM directly? Ask their Live Help. Go to FSM website and click on Live Help, u get immediate response to simple queries.

I think Beneficiary option may be not available for PRS...I'm not too sure.

haha sorry...i should do more research myself

mkts had been "ping ping paeng paeng" going ups for the past weeks
just checked my portfolio up 0.93% since 14 Oct..now still - 2.38%.
Ups mainly by M'sia focused funds...alittle by balanced funds.

It must be personal account.

anyone here put their money in Private Retirement scheme (PRS) fund? it is having 0 sales charge + Starbucks coupon promotion now.

Any comment about this PRS thing?

Be specific on what sort of "comment" that u want

apart from the RM3k tax relief, what does PRS offer better than conventional fund, given that I have been topping up my fund on regular basis?

Pros:
- zero sales charge
- tax relief

Cons:
- u cannot withdraw before retirement without being charged penalty
- range of funds are somewhat limited for now

Today all fund NAV gone up.

Gonna take another couple of days for GEYF to turn green. Hopefully.

All funds ah...hwang ex japan quantum fund if calculate from 2 months back still -1.3 Le...
Anyway just to inform I asked fsm d...amdynamic memang cannot rsp as they gonna close anytime once target size achieved

I didn't top up Aberdeen Islamic World Equity Fund.

I diverted my money for IPO application.

Thanks for the reply. I did read it again, though i still cannot find answer.. however, i think it doesn't really matter now after thinking about it sometime... anyway thanks, reading it again does give me a few more idea, although non-related to my questions before..

S&P open at record high!

something unrelated..hmm ..was thinking saving a fixed amount into FD and FSM monthly...FSM can use DDA but FD cannot how ah...Maybank FD cannot auto uplift FD haha...or should I DDA more into cash management fund every month when free only withdraw and put into FD...basically wanna force myself to save

It is recovering in value due to volatility in the world markets.

Seems low interest to this Aberdeen in this forum, huh?

portfolio still in RED....cannot switch yet..& no more extra surplus money to buy...
so not in radar yet...intent to focus more on GEM and North Asia for now

Do you mind the exchange rates to Ringgit?
USD and EUR are still strong against MYR
