See my siggy...
How much risk is a fund is related to how long your investment horizon is.
If your investment horizon is 20 years or longer, basically you can ignore volatility risk.

I just found out about FSM from this thread tongue.gif
I'm just about to start investing. I know about bond/equity, but how do you guys decide on which fund to choose? Any pointers?

And also, I'm working in Singapore. Is there anything I can make use of for that fact? eg: opening fsm account in singapore/malaysia. Thank you for all the sifus here first  notworthy.gif

There is another thread on FSM Singapore.

For FSM Malaysia:
- refer to post #12 for some of the popular funds (except Anita Mui fund)
- diversify across asset classes (bond & equity) and regions (e.g. Malaysia, Asia Pac, developed markets)

I tried everything.

I use my tablet, laptop, desktop all same.... Damn.

Browser I tried also. IE, FF, GC all stuck at home page. Load 5 minutes, click any thing also stuck.

You using UNIFI? I guess unifi is the culprit. I even stream YT HD, watch movie. All smooth besides this fsm. oh god whyyyyyyyy

I buy Wednesday and they still cant complete my order today??? Oh mai..... I never know that they are that slow.
*
eh... did you open browser in tablet or use the app?

If you suspect UNIFI is the culprit, try tether from your phone.

I notice that I can't view Domino Pizza homepage using UNIFI...

Owh I see. Lets see after 4 days. Monday can settle or not.

Btw, any Unifi user here can clarify? Can in fsm?

And any here using their mobile apps?

And its may sound silly, but is it safe to login to fsm by using mobile data as hotspot?
*
Mobile app has some functions. But if you want to buy/sell or make payment, you still need to open web browser.

As for using mobile data, if security is your concern, just connect your phone to PC rather than set up WiFi.

The easy way to clarify all ur doubties is to ask fsm live chat or just simply give them a call ... getting so nervous or panic definitely not gonna solve ur issues ... good luck and enjoy ur ride with fsm.
ISSIT SAFE TO USE MOBILE DATA AS HOTSPOT ? THAT ONE U ASK MAXIS ...

Hotspot is between the phone and the PC (or another phone). Nothing to do with mobile operator.

So many people have been sending personal data from the phones. I believe mobile network should be quite secure hmm.gif
If fact, before I subscribed to Unifi, I also used my phone to do online transactions, from logging in to M2U to booking flights.

The real risk is in public wifi, such as those in Starbucks cafe. Wifi is based on hub technology, which is less secured. Both mobile networks and wired networks are based on switch technology, which is more secured.

Dear Investors,

The opec meeting is going to take place soon. Can some of your share your thoughts how this meeting will affect global stocks/fund?
If they decide to freeze the output of crude oil, how will this affect the various market? If they can't reach an agreement, how will this impact the markets?
Keen to hear your thoughts esp those veteran investors.
Thank you.
*
How will OPEC meeting affect your investment decision?

If you are a stock or commodities speculator, a right prediction may help you make money.
But UT is more for medium to long term investment. I would say no point speculating the outcome of OPEC meeting. Just wait for the news.

I am trying to understand how the UT works.

If i have fund A i enter at RM1 a unit, and I have 100 unit. And 1 hold it for 20 years,
the fund volatile and move up and down maybe peaked at RM 5 per unit, but I cash out after 20 years at RM 2 per unit. I only make extra 100 bucks ?

Even though during the 20 years it was a RM5 per unit, but I don't enjoy any benefit cause I didn't cash it out?
*
You example... peaks at rm5 but eventually drops to rm2 (assuming no distribution).
This can happen to single stocks, but less likely for a fund due to diversification.

Btw, 100% return in 20 years is very bad. If CAGR is 8%, you expect the value to double in 9 years.

yep... the good thing about UT, some funds - some years they are on steroids going up, some years they go south.

For me, UT is long term - 20-30 years.. no emotion smile.gif just use DCA.
just like what Xuzen mentioned, UT is more of "preserve wealth"
*
Preserving wealth? I thought that's what people say about gold. (Warren Buffett may disagree.)

UT is for growing capital. Definitely not for quick gain.

sweat.gif  doh.gif Downgrading US, Europe and Brazil!

We are downgrading three markets on the back of sharply higher prices and stagnant or deteriorating fundamentals.
iFAST Research Team April 28, 2016
•Equity markets have staged a strong rebound since we upgraded the markets on 12 February 2016 ◦Market Performance: US +12.4%, Europe +11.5%, Brazil +36.9% (in local currency terms)

•While equities have moved sharply higher, underlying fundamentals have either remained the same or posted slight deterioration for the three markets
•Higher prices with lower earnings estimates have resulted in higher valuations for all three markets, leading to lower forecasted returns for investors ◦Expected Annualised 2 Year Returns: US -0.6%, Europe +1.2%, Brazil +4.1% (in local currency terms)

•We are downgrading the Star Ratings of the markets as follows:
◦US - From 2.5 "Neutral" to 2.0 "Unattractive"
◦Europe - From 3.0 "Attractive" to 2.5 "Neutral"
◦Brazil - From 4.0 "Very Attractive" to 3.0 "Attractive"

•Investors should not chase prices or performances, consider seeking more defensive strategies for US and Europe, relook their portfolio allocations

Brazil is facing political crisis as well as zika virus. Still attractive?

Is it correct to think in this way:

Let's say fund AMB Dana Arif Class A-MYR has 3.83 % return from 6th may 2015 to 4th may 2016, but this return has not taken initial sales charge, platform fee, annual management charge, trustee fee into account, right?

QUOTE(babienn @ May 6 2016, 09:39 AM)
Thanks for the read, I'll spend time to study.

I actually get the return from http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/fundi...undReturns.svdo

It just written there "returns" which I do not know whether if that value had considered the fee and charges.
*
The returns are based on bid-to-bid price, which is equivalent to NAV.

According to Morningstar...
QUOTE
A mutual fund calculates its NAV by adding up the current value of all the stocks, bonds, and other securities (including cash) in its portfolio, subtracting the manager's salary and other operating expenses, and then dividing that figure by the fund's total number of shares.

http://news.morningstar.com/classroom2/cou...2&page=2&CN=com

The NAV has already taken annual management fee and trustee fee into account, but exclude sales charge.

If you still have income, and don't plan to retire in 10 years, then you can consider growth fund.

Think about it, Warren Buffett is 85 years old.
