if heart can take it....with the money for > 1 yr no gonna touch...try put 20% of this Nomura I income fund money into China fund
thus instead of 100% into Nomura,...place 80% into it and 20% into China???

hey guys, need your two cents here so i'm not blindly running into the woods.

i think i found a way to get a live update of the rough performance of our mutual funds via our investing apps (i'm using investing.com). i just add the corresponding indices into my watchlist and i get to view the price change live, almost like looking at a share price.

my indices as below:

- Manulife Investment Asia-Pacific REIT: FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Asia Index
- Principal Greater China Equity Fund: FTSE Greater China Index
- TA Global Technology: Dow Jones Global Technology Index
- United ASEAN Discovery: FTSE ASEAN All Share
- United Global Quality Equity: FTSE World

Morningstar did provide the exact index which they use to compare each of the funds to. However, some of them will either update only once a day or update very late (coz they follow LSE or NYSE). These ones i find update during our timezone. i find that FTSE seems to be the better index.

Am i approaching this correctly?

I do understand that the index is not 100% representative of our mutual fund performance, i.e. index could go up 1% but our mutual fund only goes up 0.8% but at least i know whether it's "up a lot" or "up a bit". and it's live 

i think if based on post 28641, page 1433
should be this few days...they will publish the details

Wow confirm invest long time already, still referring to principal funds as cimb.

Yes, and I am heavy in china...

I also think have to switch to FD at the moment otherwise will bleed even more

I know you can but min 100 for RSP but the proportion of the USD 1 commission as the % of the transaction cost will be too high.

If you read question 9 again, row 1 in the table is for RSP buy and row 2 is for RSP scheduled sell (which I think is to sell fractional shares)

Both are different animals.
FSM managed portfolio is abit more diversified in term of regions while the sp500 is focused on that index.

Unsure of how is the status of that index going to be when / by the time you needed the money...

If you will be 50 yrs old by the time your son's needed to use that education fund,... Maybe can Try kwsp

With 18 yrs time frame,... Maybe can try accumulation stages then shift to preservation stage...
Something like 10 yrs Into focused equity/etfs and then moves to managed port for 5 yrs then the last 3 yrs moves into Yr kwsp account,... For by that time, you can withdraw 30% of Yr kwsp to use as his education fund

Not a good time to add either of all because it shot up too high this year 🤦‍♀️

Better play would spreading into Heathcare and quality dividends yielding REITs now

because market is dead af and nothing seems worth investing in, unless you
1) you have long investment horizon
2) good holding power

investor who fulfill the above might have been quietly collecting what they believe is right
