For FSM MAPS subscribers, the aforementioned portfolio rebalancing *could* be underway.

Your Portfolio Manager is conducting portfolio action on your FSM MAPS Balanced (Growth) portfolio. It will take approximately 7 working days from the day you receive this notice for the process to be completed.

So weird, all the funds are green but the overall position showed a 0.46% loss. I supposed that's the rebalancing exercise

How's your portfolio doing?
*
Yes exactly the same as you, total gain/loss is in red while all funds are green. I suppose that's rebalancing exercise too.

P/S: Will be going to their office on Monday again for another closed-door MAPS review session.

Just realise on top of MAPS, they have another product with is advisor based
https://www.ifastgm.com.sg/igm/home/pricing-structure

It doesn't state how much is the setup fee though

Steven7, might be suitable for you. Personalised service by the SYTs  tongue.gif

Lolwut? I am very content with MAPS already la, SYTs always welcomed tho biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

BTW I think my port rebalancing has finished.

Oh one more thing! Just received an email from Smartly saying they are finally ready for launch, will start the member onboarding on June. Although personally I prefer StashAway just by looking at their tech (occupational hazard)

To be honest I'm pleasantly suprised with MAPS returns so far. My ROI is about 5.8% with a portfolio <6 months old. I thought it won't be as good since they put in so many funds. Hopefully they keep up with the good returns  drool.gif

Sometimes the tech is important, it shows the general attitude to quality or commitment to the users. Since you are the pro, I'll probably try with stashaway. Thing is both sites don't show their planned allocation, very hard to determine if it's something I'd want to go for
*
Ikr? Its really worth the 0.5% fee huh biggrin.gif biggrin.gif I bought 2 different MAPS portfolio so you can imagine the number of funds I have in FSM SG.

On that note tho, during the quarterly review session the portfolio manager did mention things will start to slow down soon, in fact he will be afraid and start taking defensive measures if the market continues to rally (a sign of bubble popping). During the talks and even Q&A session he is quite insightful tho.

Yeah personally I do feel tech is important, but I only had the chance to peek into both platforms' tech stack on the surface level since its not officially launched yet. For instance, on https://www.smartly.sg/fees the $ slider don't even work, font inconsistencies here and there. Even though I am not a front-end coder but still I couldn't stand it. But who knows, Smartly might have a better "algorithm" in determining allocation.

BTW I don't see a planned launch date for StashAway yet anyway

I actually had to check before I can answer this question, I don't log on to FSM SG regularly

Well, so far US ETF is slightly red and NM multi cap opp. The rest are still hanging on in green. I guess it's a good thing they completed the rebalancing. The US ETF allocation was 10% when I started, now it's about 7-8% only
*
I agree on you on the rebalancing part, but still, the damage is quite severe on my Aggressive port, gains that took months to accumulate disappeared in 2 days (>50% drop in gains compared to 2 days ago)

I expect those Latin America funds and emerging market fund will do badly. Brazil had a free fall on both equity market and currency value
*
Yeah, Brazil market is really freefalling but that's due to Temer scandal, and I guess your port also have some exposure on Brazil too?

Hope the number of scandal/crisis would just stop doh.gif doh.gif

Just got the email as well

Anyway, everything is looking good right now. Such frequent rebalancing, is it really a good thing?

By just judging from returns, MAPS is looking good. Not so sure about the managed portfolio in FSM MY though, the funds they picked are not my favorites. But I'll just let them do their job and observe for now. After all, the first rm10k don't have to pay management fee
*
Yeah, I thought FSM used to publish articles like this https://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...lio-Returns-566 saying frequent rebalancing may not be the best solution but somehow its happening again, makes me wonder are they anticipating any massive market fluctuations. hmm.gif hmm.gif

All in all, yes I am also very satisfied with MAPS returns thus far, I know you subscribed to FSM MY "MAPS" but too bad I don't have 10K MYR to join the fun with you biggrin.gif

Since we paid for the rebalancing service, just let them do it as frequent as they deemed fit lor  tongue.gif

I've been on hold with the live help for the past 15 minutes; I was asking about the rewards point for first time subscription of MAPS. In their website, they say one would earn 1,000 reward points for it. But so far I did not get the points. Maybe you should check too. But actually 1,000 rewards points is just worth SGD2, I'm just annoying like that I guess  laugh.gif

That's weird. You subscribed for MAPS way earlier than me right, I already got my first-time MAPS investment reward as well as MAPS top-up rewards awhile back. Yeah the points can't really do much sad.gif

Thanks for the update. Will take a look at them

What about you? Are you trying them out?
*
Nah not really, at least not for now. Smartly tech in not convincing to me and StashAway bets too heavily on US/European market. Quick sharing, you can find a lot of insights on investing/finance in a thread called Official Shiny Things Club in HWZ forum. (It'll worth your time, trust me biggrin.gif )
