Hello seniors and sifus, im planning to start investing via fundsupermart. I came across the following statement in the faq section. Does this mean that in an unlikely event where the platform ceases as a business, theres a possibility i will nt be getting back my units? (Since non epf funds are not registered under my name)

Thanks in advance

: WHEN I BUY FUNDS FROM FUNDSUPERMART, IN WHOSE NAME WILL THE UNITS BE REGISTERED IN?

A: For cash investments, all units will be registered under iFAST Nominees Sdn. Bhd. For EPF Account 1 investment, they will be registered in your names. These units are segregated from the company’s assets.
You can contact our hotline (03)2149 0567 for any problems regarding your investments and iFAST Capital Sdn. Bhd. will liaise on your behalf with the fund managers.

Most Consistent EPF-Approved Funds in 2015 ......January 13, 2016
As of end-2015, we have a total of 95 EPF-approved funds on our platform. Out of the 95 funds, there are 51 equity funds, 24 balanced funds and the remaining 20 funds are fixed income funds. 80 (84.2%) of the EPF-approved funds reported positive returns while 15 funds (15.8%) were in the red in 2015.

2) If I get the amount transferred to a bond/cash management fund then transfer monthly over few months to equity funds, I stand a better chance to DCA and minimise risk of lumpsum investement.

Now the question is which fund house/funds would you recommend? My investment horizon is about 5 years.

My CIMB Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund has dropped -15%, is it time to buy more to average down ?

Now the question is which fund house/funds would you recommend? My investment horizon is about 5 years.

I am still keeping this fund in my portfolio. The preferred minimum exposure is 25%; maximum exposure is 33% of your total equity portion. Whether to buy or not buy will depend on how much you already have in your portfolio.

Thinking of Buying More. But worried about the 3 sectors they are exposed to ( Ie Financials, Industrial and Telecom ) and top 4 countries ( HK, Singapore, Taiwan and Australia ). These places and sectors dont look to bright over the next 2 to 4 years ? Not Sure ........ 

Please enlighten me on the logic behind keeping the portfolio between 25% to 33% of Total Portfolio ??

Thanks. I have been going through these stuffs. Here is what I am aware of and I hope I am not mistaken:

1) EPF Investment can't switch from one fund house to another. I can only switch among different funds of the same fund house.
2) If I get the amount transferred to a bond/cash management fund then transfer monthly over few months to equity funds, I stand a better chance to DCA and minimise risk of lumpsum investement.

Now the question is which fund house/funds would you recommend? My investment horizon is about 5 years.

EPF just declared 6.40% Dividend for Year 2015
Perhaps it's better to stay instead of withdraw n invest in FSM

But FMS is recommending this Fund this month! :

This fund in my portfolio is 7.8%. I have 3 non-Malaysia UT namely Aberdeen, Affin Hwang Select Asia Quantum and this fund. All these three funds having negative return while my MY funds are not dropping that much.

MY funds dropped a lot in 2015 especially those big cap. When did you enter MY fund? Those who entered in 2014 will know what I am talking about. 2015 was US mkt due to the MYR weakness.
