Hello People,

Say I have 5k start up capital, I am aiming for the portfolio below and I would like to know what are your feedback on these?

Target:-

- Equity: Bond (70:30)
- Geographical: 1/3 in Global/DM, 1/3 in Malaysia, 1/3 in Asia Ex Japan

Portfolio that I gathered:

Bonds:-
- Malaysia/APAC: Amdynamic Fund = 20% of my capital
- Hwang Select Income fund (70% FI, 30% Equities) = 20% of my capital
This brings my net FI exposure to 33% of my total investment.

Equities:-
- Malaysia: Kenanga Growth Fund = 20% of my capital
- Asia Pac/EM Equity: AmAsia Pacific Equity Income (Tentatively) 20% capital
- Global/DM: Either  1) RHB-OSK Global Equity Yield Fund
                            2)  RHB-OSK-GS US Equity Fund
                            3) CIMB-Principal Global Titans Fund
                            4) Aberdeen Islamic World Growth

If I allocate 20% of my capital to each region above that would bring my net equity exposure to 67%.

In terms of geographical allocation it would be, the estimated geographical allocation based on my capital would be:-

Global/DM - 20%
Malaysia - 36%
Asia ex Japan - 44%

So here's where I may need some advice on:-
1) How does the overall portfolio look in terms of my TARGET equity bond allocation and geographical allocation to my current portfolio above, i.e is the deviation too big?

2) I find it difficult to decide what APAC/EM equity or Global/DM equity to invest, anyone with any recommendation? For Global/DM funds, personally I think CIMB-Princial Global Titans fund seems quite good but the yield for RHB-OSK US Equity Fund seems to be the highest amongst the 4 choices listed above, still don't know which one to choose from  rclxub.gif

I am slowly building my portfolio and hope you guys can help shed some opinions on what you think of my current portfolio. Spent days trying to look for what portfolio and funds are suitable for me lol. Thanks sifus!  notworthy.gif

Not sifu here, just poking around ar and overview thoughts.

Thought 1: Fixed Income & EPF
Your basic asset allocation here is 1/3 Fixed Income Vs 2/3 Equities.
Assuming you're under employment with EPF contribution, is this AFTER taking into account of your EPF?
In my humble opinion, EPF behaves like bond funds (returns) thus personally, i treat my pile in EPF as part of my total "Fixed Income"

Thought 2: Equities - simplify & Asia exJP has KLCI stocks?
a. Micro-managing in terms of Asia, Global or Developed Markets, Malaysia etc.
VS
simplified: Developed Markets & Emerging Markets
IMHO, some Asia funds hold MY stocks AND some Asia or even ASEAN funds hold developed markets like SG, South Korea, etc. It can get pretty hard to sort things out as we break things down from DM & EM --> Area Grouping --> Country specific

b. Some Asia or ASEAN or EM funds also holds MY stocks thus.. again, one may be having more exposure to a specific country than one thought.

c. Again, assUming that U are employed with EPF contribution - later, when U if take from EPF A/C1 to invest, those approved funds are currently MY focused funds with maximum foreign exposure UP TO 30% only. Usually 100% MY focused. Thus, U may want to be aware of this possible impact to your overall asset allocation & fund (or ETF) choices with your cash investments.

Generally IMHO, good thought going into the 1/3 Fixed Income Vs 2/3 Equities.
U may have already taken into account of the thoughts above and if U have great, please ignore my 2 cents smile.gif

Just sharing what i personally went through earlier notworthy.gif

Last I check ETF in M'sia suffers from low liquidity, has the situation changed?

In Bolehland, the most cost effective is to be UTC agent yourself to reduce cost.

Personal experience: CIMBC25 & CIMBA40 - no liquidity issues for small fries like me, where max buy/sell is only RMxxK.

For RMXXXK, will share if i ever get there with these two (instead of bailing for URTH, VEA, EEM, etc all on US ARCA)

Just sharing notworthy.gif

Top up, but not in a rush.

Last time I drop a bit, top up, drop a bit, top up, then it reached a point when I ran outa ammo and the losses freak me out. doh.gif

you're learning the same way i did - palm to head methodology tongue.gif

drops:
remember.. 10%+/- is around once a year
20%+/- is like a correction, once in a few years
>=30% is like holy heck, once in a blue moon
>80% is fun.. if one has enough ammo to sai lang and yet hold 3 to 5 years

Just a thought notworthy.gif

Hmm, after reading back a few posts, i realized i have been doing it wrong. market has been going up and i have just topped up yesterday.

so, lesson is top up whtn we see negative?

if i thought that in 2010 (after 2008 down, 2009 climbing, and 2010 STILL climbing)
i would have to slap myself silly tongue.gif

Look at value VS history +other factors like your own asset allocation plan & yearly investment plan/resources, not just yesterday/last year prices
eg. just because something went down, doesn't mean it's of good value (yet)
just because something went up, doesn't mean it's not of good value / over paying (already)

Was just looking at the graph of all the major indexes. It's scary to see.. Market will crash, and I just hope that my bond fund will be able to cushion some of the shocks..

No one here is selling to anticipate the crash I suppose..

there were a few fellows in 2011 & 2012.. heheh

well, they'll be laughing when it happens - only issue is WHEN will it happen and if it's like another 3 to 5 years down the road, the "opportunity loss" VS loss in future may be another ouch tongue.gif.

i'm one of those with no crystal balls - thus asset allocation lor laugh.gif
