Traditional index. Not arkk and certainly not cxse.
Traditional index contain all the junks inside. AIrplanes, banks, ford, oil companies.

Ark have everything I like inside and non of the junks. Same with
You want a min 20%p.a
With growth you need to sell.
So traditional etf won't cut it.

Just DCA into them every month. That's how index investing works. DCA.
Good thing about arrk and cxse none of the junk inside.

Growth and index investing require you to sell to get your money back. You don't need to do that for Dividend investing.
Selling part for Dividend investing is just bonus. Cause you are still getting paid just to hold the stock.

Yes. If you use like Sunway money cost is I think fixed at RM1.00. But if you use like instarem, it's based on certain percentage. I have not test whether instarem cost is the same. This is because they are generally more expensive than other platform (I noticed it from last year)

Your choice. For me once I have minimum RM12k I convert and never look back.
You can consider using pseudo bond like stocks overseas to park money. One very good stock I use is parkway Life REIT. This is because IB does not give any good interest at all.

I won't recommend rm1k/month DCA via TSG/IBKR into ARKK. Even if you're only making 1 trade per month the fees will still add up in the long run. Take for example:
IBKR-TSG
- every month RM1000 is allocated for overseas
- convert MYR into SGD via TransferWise (approx. ~0.6% transferwise or ~RM9 gone, based on google rates vs. actual amount received via transferwise),
- commissions to do spot-rate exchange within IBKR (2 usd per conversion or ~RM8 gone)
- trade commissions (approx 1.5USD per trade or ~RM6 gone)
= basically RM23 in fees per trade (approx 2.3% in fees)

Via TSG-IBKR you'll be paying (2.3% upfront "SC equivalent" + 0.75% annual mgmt fee), whereas from FSM you'll get (1.5% upfront SC + 1.85% annual mgmt fees).

You'll have to really do some maths and compare it upfront before making that decision to DCA via international brokers (unless of course if it has 0% commissions) - every amount will yield different result/savings. Take another scenario as an example:

Stashaway
- every month RM1000 is allocated for 30% Risk index fund
- convert MYR into USD (0.1% spot-exchange rate or ~RM1.5 gone. super rough calculations)
- buy into various ETF's with 0 commission
= basically RM1.5 in fees, maybe slightly more but yeah approx 0.1~0.2% per trade?

General rule of thumb - the higher the amount you transfer out (in a batch) of Malaysia, you'll achieve better results due to savings on fees/commissions. Hence why most opt to only transfer when they have more than rm5k (or even better, above rm10K-30K) to achieve economics of scale.

You can buy other stuff than amzn. Shopify, SEA, scottish mortgage trust

QQQ has around 10% of Apple and 10% of Amazon.
You can combine that with other ETFs.

No. UK market is priced in penny. So 1 unit is essentially GBP12.4

You are definitely bullish with ark. I do like ark with their disruptive idea. Where can I track their performance vs indexes?
Thanks for your suggestion. I am still collecting bullet for this portfolio.

Anyone managed to get some last night?

Same redness for me as well but didn't manage to get.

Hopefully more opportunities arise
