Alot of ppl invest in US index fund cuz individual investor average return and mutual fund return normally dont exceed index fund return. The reason might be US stock market is more efficient than Msia stock market,i dont know about that, just guessing.I read that big institutions are using advanced algorithms to trade, so it might make individual harder to make a good return.

But if it is easier to make money in Msia stock market, why not do it here, i just want to make my money grow at real rate,  Even if Kenanga Growth Fund can beat the index for past 10 yrs, can it do so in the next 10 yrs? Anyway its return is quite impressive.

Im still learning stuffs so that i have more knowledge about how the financial market works, whether its in Msia or other countries, so if theres no opportunity in Msia already, i can utilise other opportunities in other countries.

You can buy ETFs like VOO from US Market using your Malaysian brokerage firm. You need to register for a international trading account but it should be free or cost is minimal. Depending on your broker, you may even buy it online by yourself.

I recently bought 10 shares in VOO and commission was approximately US$26. So commissioning is slightly under 2%

I don't think you can invest in an index fund but ETFs are alternative to index fund.

u should buy VTI to diversify the holding
