Ah, yeah maybe, but my investment time horizon is still pretty broad, minimum 3-5 years, but likely longer. I think over the span of that time period it kinda evens out, but I'm also still trying to figure out my DCA strategy. Not sure if should only cost average in when things are bad, or if I should just set aside a fixed amount every month.

Trying to set up FPX e-Mandate to RSP into managed portfolio. There's a pop-up that makes you choose what the max amount per month is, does this amount only apply to one specific RSP, or all RSPs across your holdings?

Thanks. Is there a reason to specify a low number? I'm not quite sure what to put in, because if I put say 1k max now, but in the future want to increase, will it be problematic?

For me at least you can easily change your RSP amount anytime, but it will only take effect from the following month.

I know RSP amount you can change, but if the initial RSP limit you set too low, can you change it easily? confused.gif

Hi guys I have a couple of questions for sifus here:

1. Seeing as MYR is increasingly volatile because of our BS country politics, is it still good to buy MYR-hedged funds? Will the fund NAV fluctuate because of MYR valuation against USD for instance, or does it only count when we cash out?

2. FD rates are super bad now obviously, I'm thinking of parking cash in something higher risk than FD and MMF. Any fund recommendations? I'm already invested in AmanahRaya Syariah Trust Fund, is it good to continue topping up that or are there other good recommendations?

for 1
some had mentioned,...buy non MYR funds,.....like USD or SGD,....in the long run can protect the buying power. For MYR will depreciate in longer term

for 2
if over 60, can try deposit into EPF, else try SSPN
on this AmanahRaya Syariah Trust Fund,...it is still in FSM recommended fund 21/22
*
Thanks for your response. I would also like to protect future buying power, so maybe SGD/USD is the way to go? confused.gif

And I'm only in 30's so I don't want to put everything in EPF, that's why I went with AmanahRaya Syariah Trust fund earlier this year.

Hey guys I'm thinking of increasing my exposure to S&P500 ETFs since it seems a bit volatile and ripe for correction soon. Is the best way to simply stay up late and buy SPDR or VOO ETF through FSMOne? Or something indirect like through Principal Global Titans Fund?

If i think the markets are volatile n are ripe for correction soon, I would exit the markets to protect my assets.
Reenter once the storms are over,.
No buying Spdr or vdo etfs or global Titan funds... Before the storms cometh

Yeah sorry I meant after the correction I'll enter, but what's the most efficient manner of getting exposed to US index funds? Is it via unit trust or directly buying ETFs? Idk if the nonresident alien tax 30% is a big factor that would be a con for buying directly?

Your post seems to be implying that through UT wont get US alien tax? Thats not true. Is it?
*
Not sure how it works, but I was under the assumption some funds that are incorporated in another locale that has tax treaty with US may be charged lower tax? Or maybe it depends on the unit holders in which case that is probably false then. Not quite sure, which is why I'm asking what's the most efficient manner to get exposed to US index funds rclxub.gif

Just wait and buy VOO rather than paying sales charges to UT instead  doh.gif

Haha ok bro thanks for this, was the response I was trying to get between buying direct vs. going through UT. UT expense ratio also seems way higher than something like VOO. tongue.gif

From 25/9 to 15/10, all managed portfolios will have 0% subscription fee. This was announced during the Fireside Chat just now.

What are people's thoughts here on the MP service? Or do you rather self DIY rclxub.gif

some had mentioned their self DIY UT portfolio does not performs better than FSM Managed portfolio
some had mentioned their self DIY UT portfolio does performed better than FSM Managed portfolio.

thus i guess it depends on the funds one holds, it % of allocations in each funds and depends where the markets moves during the comparison between own DIY with FSM Managed portfolio

btw the 0% subscription fees mean no (sales charges) From 25/9 to 15/10 ?
Subscription Fee
0.00% for Conservative portfolio
0.25% for Moderately Conservative portfolio
0.50% for Balanced portfolio
0.75% for Moderately Aggressive portfolio
1.00% for Aggressive portfolio

i think many here has AUM to qualified for lower Sales charges if they DIY
*
Yes they made it clear 0% sales charge (subscription fee) by FSMOne when you buy during the promo period, but of course there's still the quarterly management fee that they'll charge.

Same. But I guess they are helping you rebalance according to the market so it's not likely they'll ever drop that to zero, unless the margin they get from transacting with fund houses is big enough shakehead.gif

Hey guys I'm planning to use FSMOne to purchase some ETFs. I know IBKR is lower transaction fee, but if I'm making trades around RM10,000, the USD8.80 feels like it's an acceptable tradeoff for the convenience (no need open overseas account and do Wise to IBKR etc.)

Or are there other better local platforms available?

strictly talking about local SC-approved platforms, FSMOne seems to be the best option (disclaimer - I haven't started myself yet because i'm waiting on Rakuten Trade, more on that later).

MIDF Invest is a close competition (USD8 for <USD 1,000/trade) but the rating on Google Play Store suggests that the interface is quite buggy.

Very far in 3rd place are the bank-related platforms like HLebroking & Maybank which has a USD25 min trading fee sad.gif

Rakuten Trade is introducing US trading on their platform really soon so i'd wait for (hopefully) a more competitive fee structure from them before settling down on FSM.

Thanks that makes sense, I'll wait for Rakuten trade's offering before making a decision! Will watch this space: https://www.rakutentrade.my/fees thumbup.gif
