Will someone share their rebalancing technique ? I am interested to know the cheapest way to rebalance for small potato investor like me.

I am holding RHB-OSK Indonesia Equity fund, it has grown over 15% profit from my capital. I am cautious and wanted to protect my profit because tomorrow is the Election Day for Indonesia, presidential election in three months. I decided to sell off all my profit but remain the capital intact.


Since the earnings does not exceed RM1000, it does not make sense to Intra-switch to another fund because minimum switching required RM1000 plus RM25 switching fee. That is a hefty 2.5% based on the minimum switching amount. To save on SC, i sold the fund and cash in the profit to cash management fund.

Only then I use cash management fund to top up RHB-OSK GEYF with the usual 2.0 service charge.

As a new investor, did I get the rebalancing concept right ? Is there is better way to save the service charge? I saw the prospectus has transfer fee at RM5, what is it?

may not be the rebalancing method that you are looking for.....

What Is Rebalancing? Investing Basics
Rebalancing is a simple, but reliable method used in investing. It forces investors to “buy low and sell high”, and improves the returns of your portfolio in the long term.

you referring to this right?

http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/fundi...umber=MYCIMB010

that CIMB Global Titan Fund

I'm not a fan of that one.

I prefer RHB-OSK Global Equity Yield, Aberdeen Islamic World Equity and Pacific Global Stars.

Intra switching for Eastspring funds is RM25?

Aberdeen Islamic seems like doing pretty OK at the moment.

And btw, we don't have FSM Singapore thread over here?

I guess not many uses FSM Singapore?

I'd combo RHB-OSK GEYF with Aberdeen World, cos Aberdeen World can invest in haram stocks.

why you want FSM Singapore? You work there?

Aberdeen not shariah compliant ke?

well, i'm interested with the fixed-income funds that FSM Singapore is offering...

Not working there. But want to invest there.

Oops, missed the "'n"

CAN'T

FSM getting so slow at updating their NAV price seriously. AmDynamic still at last Friday price.

Now FSM's fault, AmInvestment's website also does not have the price since ex-distribution. Friday was the ex and reinvestment date, u know that right?

Okay noted! probably going for pacific global funds next! will do some more research on rhb geyf, pacific global and kaf global as well

Yeah. But it's been quite awhile FSM has been slow at updating their price. Last time 1 day delay. Now can go up to 2-3 times at most.

Most of the times are for RHB-OSK funds.

I'd point the blame at RHB-OSK, their website is inferior to OSK-UOB's.

Ei free lar...last time I switch from EI Equity Income to EI Global Emerging Markets...FOC switching

ya.. that is what i understand. But I read the guy post wrongly on the indo fund. I thought he as saying Eastspring Indo fund, but after recheck it is OSKRHB Indo fund. OSKRHB intra switching will kena RM25
