I'm just pretty damn optimistic about the US economy for at least the 1st Quarter of 2017.

Would tweak my portfolio accordingly when i get more funds next month.

Btw, i went over to Maybank and enquired if i could open a sg savings account from their branch here and they said No. Messed up thing was that the staff even told me that if i was to head over to SG to open up an account, I have to prove that I have a working permit/studying there which is pretty messed up.

She claimed that i could have a chance of easily opening an account there if i was to subscribe to one of their products and deposited a huge sum of money   

Sadly, god didn't bless me with RM2.6B, If he did, i would have definitely signed up for some financial product there lol

Guess you understood me wrongly, she said that if i bought/subscribed to any products in Maybank SG, then they would accept my request to open an acc with them

I have chosen to invest in CIMB Asia Pacific PRS Fund since 2014.

For those who do not want pure malaysia exposure, fund choices are not plenty, makes it easier to choose i think.
1) Affin Hwang PRS
2) Am Asia Reits PRS
3) the fund mentioned above.

Actually just to clear my doubt...can our muslim friends legally invest in non-syariah compliance funds? or is that a choice?

It sometimes puzzled me in which that major non-syariah business (eg. gambling, alcohol, etc) are heavily taxed, which in turn the money (if not went into MO1's pocket) will be used in the federal budget...which the end user is the citizen, and it consist of many muslims...?? How?

have any one hear of "RHB US INDEX BETA FUND" unit trust before??
just know it today and is a feeder fund into sp500 etf.

will we get this as another alternative for us exposure?
fsm and eut?? bank channel?

Want to know what's worst ?

Having a Malaysian think JJPTR > FSM  
I know a few people personally with these kind of impression

Hi peeps,

I recently came back to Malaysia after close to 2 years of earning foreign income and brought back with me some foreign currency which is sitting in my FCA now...

With the current weakening RM, should I convert it out to RM and then invest in funds through FSM or should I just keep it in the FCA without earning any interests to hedge against the historically downward trend of RM?

Dilemma. Sifu please advise 

Down under, former land of convicts?

Ramjade  Manulife Asia Pac Reits up 1.31%. 

I bought some Manulife Asia Pac Reits recently, since it is under promo, used some to top up India already where the rest gone negative >1% in a short time. Was cursing.

With this, it is positive now. LOL.

Yesterday was a fantastic day for Asia Pac equity but did not expect reits also did well.

my Manulife India returns have hit 21%. part of me is saying leave it there whilst another says cash it. oh dear Lord

Its the only red in my portfolio, just checked, its -1.45%

If 2 years doesnt perform, i so gonna switch to manulife reit

Overall return ? Wah congrates bro...

Question is why do you want to sell? Is there anymore upside in that market? Do you foresee it to come crashing down? ROI is just a number; a rather poor indication of performance if you ask me. That's why IRR is more superior for comparison

I have many funds with >20% ROI but that's because I've held them for >1 year. If I sell them, what should I buy? If the potential is there like ponzi 1.0, instead of selling, you should be looking to buy more

Well, there's another strategy.
Sell them off (cash out); wait for deep correction, buy them back again.

In my portfolo, I got 3 funds with ROI > 30%

have to remember though, this 6.2% may drop to example 3% after a year. fixed price on the other hand, will still get the 6%.
