Again, few weeks ago, there had been curses about Trump and his action...

Today FSM MY came out with this.....

"The difficult part about investing in volatile asset classes such as emerging market equities is that they can drive investors nuts with their inconsistency. On the flip side, the good part about investing in volatile asset classes is they offer plenty of buying opportunities.

Unfortunately, when markets are tanking and portfolios are bleeding, it’s always easier for investors to tell themselves it’s going to fall even further.

“I’ll just buy when I see less noises from the market, or when Trump stops his disrupting tweets…”

If history is any guide, emerging markets are rarely calm. The gains in these developing nations can be infrequent, yet large at times. The losses can be frequent and painful. Investors might not find a pleasant investment experience within the emerging equities’ landscape, ....

How do you know the future?

I noticed that some of the duration is 2 years and the largest drop is 60%. I do notice the climb also. That's why I understand why many people advice me that UT is long term. One must be able to hold during the crisis period to not suffer the losses and sell when UT climbs out of the hole.

In comparison to today's trade war crisis, the fall for example emerging market index of 10-11% is very little compared with previous periods.

sorry sorry, paiseh paiseh.

It is a typo. Should be August instead of September.

Also, let me take this opportunity to state that currently my port has reached the desired eq to fi ratio of 70 to 30.

My non pokenon port consist of the following members:

1) TA Tech 20%

2) Eastspring Equity Income 25%

3) Selina reits at 25%

4) Anita Bond 30%

This, according to my good friend Algozen™ ver four, sits at an optimal risk to reward ratio point, only consisting of four members, unlike some professional managed account, play Pokemon style here and there.

p/s I play retail only UTF that are available in FSM universe. I am purely a retail investor who does not have access to any kind of " wholesale " fund whatsoever.

What is selina reit? Conservertive ports with 30% bonds, 25% big caps and reits.

Does anyone have any information on whether FSM has any provisions for nominating a beneficiary or something in the event of the fundholder's death like with EPF?

Just open a beneficiary account and nominate that person. Even if one doesn't, upon death the UT will be liquidated and proceeds given to the estate.

What is a Beneficiary account?

A Beneficiary Account is useful if you are planning separate portfolios for your children, parents, or other loved ones.
The laws governing survivorship will apply here. In the event that any one person in the beneficiary account passes on, the assets of the account will belong to the surviving person.

The main applicant of a beneficiary account must be at least 18 years old and is primary operator and owner of all the accounts.
The beneficiaries do not have rights over this account as long as main applicant are living.
The main applicant is the main holder of this account, and instructions given to iFAST Capital Sdn. Bhd. from this main account holder will be deemed to be representative of the instructions of the beneficiary account holder as well.
All correspondence will be sent to the main account name and address.

Selina reits

It may seem conservative but that is where the best risk optimized return portfolio lies at the moment.

This ties in well because you will notice for the past three quarters the market has been very volatile and Algozen™ ver four is written to penalize high volatility.

You confuse me with that Kiamsiap Singaporean wannabee...

Tun M already said that this guy is crazy!

One hour says X, the next hour changes mind and say Y!

1) How did you know when to change your portfolio to a conservative one? Is it 1 or 2 or 3 months into the downturn?

2) Is there transactional costs that you incur when you change your port? Did you incur inter or intra switching costs? Or time costs when you switch from equity of UT fund A into bond of fund A, then bond of fund B and finally equity UT of fund B.

3) How long are you going to stay with your conservertive port? How do you know when to switch?

4) Why did you go into TA Global Technology Fund when it is so volatile is it because of performance?

5) How do you define pokemon style? Is it more than 6 UT types? Is it 8 types? Why limit yourself to 4 types of UTs?

6) Is pokemon style really bad? The transactional costs of monitoring and comparing the different UTs performance against each other with fundsupermart is so low and can be done easily. There is "chart center" and "fund selector" which allows one to easily compare. All these can be done within less than 30 mins once or twice a year.

Previously...he did mentioned he has wrap a/c....thus free switching anytime any funds

There are 2 big factors. Trump investigations and the Nov US House of representative and senate elections. Let's wait and see. BTW the Asian markets are moving up recently due to the news of trump being implicated.

Sorry what is wrap account? Anyway I can get that?

I am currently not on a pc.....cannot google.
I think ifast has it....maybe kenwealth also...
But i think have to pay annual subsciption fees.
