just notice that Eastspring Investments MY Focus Fund is now available for EPF investment.  anyone use this method : withdraw lum sum from epf into eastspring bond fund and then DCA every month to Eastspring's funds.

repusez,

If I'm not mistaken, you can only withdraw from your EPF for investment once every 3 months. Or has EPF changed its regulations?

But why would you want to withdraw from EPF to invest into bond fund? It will have lower returns over the long run. Should take a higher risk with the EPF funds for potentially higher returns as you have a very long time frame for it.

He just wants to use the bond fund as parking place and then, switch to equity fund.

Not sure if that strategy is possible but another forumer concurred with the idea.

EPF - u can only withdraw once in 3 months

So, they withdraw ONE LUMP SUM from EPF and park in bond fund, then every month invest bits by bits to equity fund(s) to smooth out the market fluctuations.

David83 and Pink Spider,

Thanks for pointing it out. I personally don't have EPF so I don't know about this "trick" smile.gif

Any Equity fund work against Malaysia KLSE? 

Eg. KLSE market drop, the Equity FUND UP ?

cutepet,

Why would you want a fund that moves opposite of KLSE? You feel KLSE is the only market that is going to crash anytime soon? Seems like a silly question doesn't it?
