Hey guys, new to this. What funds would you recommend to get exposure to global equities and fixed income with a 80/20 ratio; something similar to Vanguard Lifestrategy.

sorry, I am not sure what Vanguard Life strategy is but if you want something like the attached image....
can try FSM MY site....
click on RESEARCH, then RECOMMENDED PORTFOLIOS......


Attached thumbnail(s)

Vanguard LFS has different tiers from 100 down to 20 (being the % in equities, the remainder bonds) mostly developed and small amount of EM

To replicate this through FSM would probably need Global Titans for developed markets, Eastspring GEMF for EM, then a bond fund

Is there any particular reason why you're not buying Vanguard outright, instead of trying to mimic the exposure/performance?

in the recommended portfolios as posted by T231H, FSM is using AIWEF instead of Global Titan for developed market

got this from the email....

Dear valued investors,

I would like to introduce you a very useful tool in FSM - Portfolio Simulator. The portfolio simulator is a tool that allows you to simulate the performance of the portfolio based on different back test period.

1. You can add funds into the portfolio simulator and back test the performance of the portfolio.

2. You can compare the return for same portfolio with or without rebalancing.

3. You can view the fund performance across various periods from as short as 1 week up to 10 years (where applicable) expressed in % and money value.

4. You are able to download the portfolio simulator result in PDF format for record keeping purpose.

5. You are able to decide the % allocation of each funds in your portfolio simulator.

HOW TO USE THE PORTFOLIO SIMULATOR?

2. Key in Initial investment amount for a portfolio investment.

How will it affect common stocks?

This is interesting but quite troublesome for me to key in UT 1 by 1 and enter the % allocation.
Also problem for those who have more than 15 funds, not enuff slots.

Anyone knows of any shortcut way, like using UTs shown in our FSM portfolio
and somehow copy/paste or translocate them all to the FSM simulator??

Anyone going?

Perhaps a wishlist for FSM undercover agent here would be -
Have the simulator function to auto insert our current porfolio as portfolio 1 and portfolio 2 is what we can play with so we can determine how we want to switch fund/change strategy

There's $$$ in switching charges for FSM
