depending on how much % you wanted to go in ....
it may increase your over exposure to China/HK....
but it could also gives you allocation in BRIC.....

yet unknown to many factor, i would say,..YES....go in...

I think this is rather personal, depends on what you want

Considering the fact that you have FSM SG's MAPS as part of your financial investment, I'd instead increase your Msia equity and/or Msia fixed income as that's something that FSM SG MAPS don't have

MAPS have quite a fair bit of BRICS and GEM exposure already; and I think use SGD to invest in those markets is better than using MYR. Consider reducing forex exposure for the FSM MY investments; I'm not sure where does MYR fate lies really

Actually KGF is more of a mid to small cap fund than a big cap fund. The fund correlate more to the small cap index than the klci

I think your mix of KGF and EI equity income fund is good. If you really wan to chase small cap fund can consider interpac, it's the hottest fund of the year. I'm just not sure how volatile it would be since the fund size is still very small

Thanks for the update on MAPS seminar. Since I'm not based in SG I don't have a chance to attend even if I'm invited

don't be so happy. Trump's impeachment may happen and when it does everything will bleed

US stock is lau sai now. Tomorrow Asian's turn.

That being the case, please top up now ! We have -ve -ve = +ve. LOL.

What happened to the shares now? 

Which fund is bleeding?

S&P 500 that sort of maps into Manulife US.

Manulife drops 1.5%. Might continue tonite.

which fund brought you down? mine just went up.

Wah, so observant, our resident DC still didn't get it
Remember someone who don't rely on FSM NAV update and go straight to the source? and focuses on day to day fluctuations compared to index or even individual stocks

The funds are denominated in different currency, not really comparable. The segment that the funds invest in also very different

Anyway, steven's MAPS portfolio has 20 funds, so usually we would just talk overall portfolio performance instead of individual funds. Especially when we don't manage the funds ourselves 

Yeah ppl here so actively managing their portfolio, this is not for them la. Those ASx or FD fans should consider this la, autopilot
I would quite likely put in, just to see how they perform. But I still have credits which I haven't utilise and now I need to pay front end charges again 

Steven7 MAPS is here in FSM MY!
It's very do-able. My mum's portfolio of 60EQ: 40FI is making close to 9% p.a. at the moment. The portfolio is 2 years old

Nah. If I were to choose automatic portfolio manager, I will rather choose those real robo investor instead of this pseudo robo investor (FSM managed portfolio is still operated by humans). After all if a robot can beat human at Go (ancient chinese stategy game), what chances does human have against robo investor? Even Blackrock, one of US largest fund house fired most of their fund manager and go the robo way.

Wow, for real? This product will die such a tragic death if they are indirectly limiting each investor to buy RM10k; this story reminds me so much of PRS
Well, the biggest hurdle/limitation is, I don't think there would be a real robo advisory distributing ETFs in Msia in the near term. And FSM MY if I remember correctly, only has license to distribute UTs and not securities (means no ETFs). MAPS in FSM SG does include ETF as part of their portfolio

I think your expectations on the robo advisory is a bit unrealistic. In the end, who do you think develop and determine the algorithm used by the machines for robo advisors? At least for now it'll still be humans, but yeah, next time maybe when the machines self learning technology improve further, maybe they don't need human intervention anymore. But really, can machines anticipate Fed's next move? or Trump's? or North korea's? 

FSM SG. Reason:
1) cheaper fees
2) wider selection
3) preserve the wealth (RM will depreciate against any currency in the long run)
