you applied for it for what reason? in the ptptn thread they discussed that there is a management fee attached to it. I'm really hoping you read the fine print in your terms and conditions.
Banks will never give out cash up front without asking in return. there's ways a catch because it doesn't everyone can apply it and put into ASx and even best the ASx loan that's tied with it

Besides, FSM has repeatedly advised to trim or dump this fund. This is actually a good time to dump than buy for this particular fund
Personally I still hold the view of a balanced portfolio. Beginning of the year when global equity sucks, local equity and bonds helped a lot. Then few months back Asia funds rallied, and now GTF picked up a lot. So at any point my portfolio is not in the red and still maintain higher than FD returns.
Well since he don't want Ponzi 1, there's limited Asia pacific funds so there's the next best option. Why buy? Simple as you said, it's based on USD forex. So if RM were to weaken more (which it will), one will gain from buying that fund. That's my reasoning.
