Capital preserved wor, why your heart can't take it ?

Risk of bond default = partial/total loss of capital. Capital preserved only if the company still survives at maturity. Plus need lots of juice to diversify.

OT a bit

Decided to go update my portfolio in the excel sheet for IRR since i last did it early last year. I don't know if it's something I've done wrong or what. I've followed all the instructions strictly and yet it seems that I can only add rows without messing the whole sheet up if I ungroup all cells before doing so. Anyone care to shine a light here? Using Office 2007 (if that matters)

This issue was brought up a couple of weeks ago, but I still can't get it done without first ungrouping all cells. Shouldn't the groups automatically expand itself when we add rows? Hmmm...

Credits and many thanks to Pinky and polarbearz for the sheets though!

We are moving towards similar business model as our counterpart down south with all the recent offering.

Which potentially translate to platform fees soon

Let's hope for more healthy competition then! Else it's just gona be a monopoly with the ring on our noses

Can't wait for the day when MAPS does come to fsm malaysia and people here will be going

" my portfolio manager says i need to overhaul my port ,remove this fund but all the sifu here is saying invest in this fund. what do I do? "

interesting times ahead.

If I'm not mistaken, MAPS is a portfolio management service by the FSM CIS, hence all decision-making eg buy/sell/switch will be done by them based on client's risk appetite etc etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.

However it will be interesting to see the performance of the MAPS portfolio vs lowyat sifus portfolio 😎

Good timing. I been noticing my manulife US dragging my portfolio and I am thinking of doing a intra fund house switch to manulife India but doing so would place my allocation into India near 20%.

still putting my pillow high and thinking if to go at it or not.
*
Why not just reduce exposure instead of a complete switch? My US is currently at 12.5%, planning to cut it down to 7.5..or even leave it at 10

Diversify
Don't chase after the currently hot ROIs
Keep your "pre-planned allocation & diversified" allocations
Every dog will have its days and its place in the garden
IF shifted 10% of the portfolio value that had been allocated to Trump to Modi, if Modi's NAVs keeps going up by another 10%,...you will just add 1% more to the portfolio's ROI...if calculated in IRR.....lesser % number lor
Lesser portfolio's and IRR's % numbers will make me less inclined to moves, but if looking at the numerical value gain/loss of "a" fund ........ just MOVE it if that is what you think, will make you "HAPPIER". After all it is just money and isn't it, trying to make oneself happier is part of the over goal of investing?.

Well said. Unless one is gung-ho enough to go all in to that said HOT fund without diversification..hehe steel balls anyone?

I don't​ understand what u mean by getting 30% agent fees back from MCIS. Do you mind explaining to me?
*
Agents get a commission for any policy they sell. In this case FSM gets the commission. For FSM, they will give 30% of this commission back to the client. You can ask for the exact amount of rebate you'll be getting when u get the actual quotation from them, as the amount differs depending on the policy you want.

If we subscribe to the new FSM Managed Portfolio, do we still have to pay sale charges when FSM help us to purchase equities funds?  :confused:
*
No. Only two fees are charged.

1. Upfront subscription fee (pay one-off)
2. Platform fee of 0.5% p.a.

Whatever they do with the funds within the portfolio is entirely their control/decision. The subscription fee is already the sales charge.

This is what I understand too. It doesn't make sense that you have no control on what they buy and yet they charge you for each fund. But for every subsequent top up of say rm1000, do we pay the subscription fee of 1.25% (assuming aggresive port) of the RM1000 again?
*
Of course we have to pay for top-ups. There is no free lunch in this world! After all they don't charge sales charge for the underlying equity/balanced funds anymore. Just think of it as averaging out the cost of sales charge for all funds making up the entire portfolio. biggrin.gif Wonder if we can use referral tokens on the subscription fee? whistling.gif

I'm actually quite tempted give the Managed Portfolio a try, but am afraid will miss out the first 50 subscribers by the time I make up my mind. LOL

Hi Avangelice, if i remember correctly, you mentioned that you switch RHB AIF to RHB EMB with a switching fees of RM25.
RHB EMB is a bond fund with 0% sales charge.
If that's the case, will it be better if i just sell my RHB AIF, and purchase RHB EMB with 0% sales charge?
Or is there any other charges incur which i'm not aware?

Appreciate your advice on this smile.gif
*
If ur amount is large i.e. the credit points gained is far greater than RM25, then switching could be a better choice. (Provided you intend on utilising the credit points gained)

Not sure here is the right place to ask... Any one bought standalone medical insurance from "fundsupermart"? Really... 30% rebate?

*
Yes 30% rebate. Do note it's a rebate of the COMMISSION fees, not of the premium paid, so don't expect a huge savings. anyway it's still cheaper than buying the same plan from an agent.

Thank you for your input sifus. I think I will consider managed portfolio for the time being, as I have little knowledge in asset allocation, product selection, and periodic rebalancing. Maybe once I have more knowledge and confidence, I can manage portfolios by my self.
*
My advice to you is go for it. Get a feel of how unit trust works, pay attention to how FSM build, adjust and rebalance their portfolios. 2-3 years down the road u can decide if you wana continue with the managed portfolios or DIY.

Their service charges are minimal and reasonable. Saves u all the hassle of micro managing ur port. Ignore the penny wise pound foolish noises. It is your money, your call.

Let's all drop them an email to request. I've been planning to do so. Just too lazy to input into excel and always have hiccups while doing so.

yes, long process, but got ninja credit + Lower SC
got 2 weeks to do  Ambond > CMF > India

you have AmReits too?

Can skip CMF altogether. And you need Manulife bond to utilise credit. Don't need India to transition, unless youre planning on making use of the 0.8% sales charge and saving your earlier points for later use?

He is saying Amreit->Ambond->manulife bond->Manulife reit.

As what puchongite mentioned. Replace India with Manu bond. But do bear in mind u will either lose out/win on NAV movements during the entire transition period, even though you have saved on SC. Imagine amreits rebound after u perform the switch etc etc. Too many possibilities over a span of 2 weeks

By leveraging he meant using borrowed money to invest in UT. UT itself does not allow leveraging.

All funds basically you need to put in min then only can start RSP. Once RSP is started, you can stop it anytime. For me I never use RSP so I cannot tell you to start or stop it. I topup when I like.

Not true. Min investment amount does not apply to RSP. Just sign up for RSP for that fund and it will purchase according to that min RSP amount. Did it for all my funds when I started out
