Maybe they chasing sales. February FSM has a buy call (fund choice) with 1% SC. Maybe not enough. So they say soft close. Then the fund size suddenly ballooned from 309m on 28/02 to 484m on 27/2 (including the addition before announcement). Actually to the fund house, what is the difference between 300m and 500m and 500b? It is only a number, and regardless if the fund is bringing profit to the investors, the fund house makes money...so I don't really get it. Shouldn't the fund manager, regardless of how much money he is holding, diligently put them into his allocated portfolio for that particular fund? Or is it that when he gets new money coming in but on days he sit at home not doing anything and wait for the uninvested cash piling up?

I believe it's an disadvantage for a fund size to be too big as it could potentially hurt the performance. Besides, imagine if you have too big a fund size and supposed to invest 5% of your fund into a certain company, you could potentially be the major shareholder and takeover the company. This is not ideal. Therefore, the number of companies the fund manager can invest in would be limited.

What's your thought reg RHB Growth Opportunities Fund in terms of risk-reward ratio? FSM put this fund as a potential 'replacement' for Affin Hwang Quantum Fund since it's closure.

why no love for Ponzi 2.0?

LoL.. need to learn how to tag properly.
I already got Ponzi 2.0 but the fund allocation is slightly different from what Ponzi 1.0 offered.

In terms of country focused funds, I have Manulife India and US. Also wondering whether it's a good time to buy into China as well via CIMB Greater China Fund?

for cimb greater China, if you can stomach its volality I would say go for it but do note how ever that Ponzi 2.0 has an allocation into China.

no more than 10% allocation please. similar to India.

also difference with Ponzi 1.0 and Ponzi 2.0 is that 1.0 has a bigger allocation into malaysia so essentially it's Ponzi 2.0+KGF so you aren't missing out much after its closure if you hace and allocation in Malaysia.

Regards.

Thanks.

Ponzi 2 has a 4.5% allocation into China.
If Ponzi 2 is 20% of my portfolio, that would only translate into about 1% China out of my total portfolio. Think I would allocate 10% in India, US and China respectively. Hopefully, they are all negatively correlated to a certain extent. Lol.

is a total of 10% REITS in portfolio too much if one already has 20% in Bond?

No problem. But I rather be cautious than careless.

Yes I have both. But I am planning to migrate my FSM MY to POEMS SG. Of course it's much more cost saving. 0% service charge + 0% platform fees + 0% switching fees, what more can you ask  biggrin.gif  flex.gif

Note:
I haven't buy anything from POEMS SG yet but I have already drafted out what to buy and my allocation for it. Reason for not buying yet:
1) FSM MY profit haven't reach my desired level. So I have't sell anything yet. Yes I am greedy.
2) No money to buy as my money is used to buy Singapore counters (need to generate some SGD). Will only use money allocated for FSM MY to buy using POEMS SG
3) Everything seems so expensive now.
4) My allocation will be based on this http://www.turtleinvestor.net/asset-allocation/ with some slight modification which include JP small caps, no reits for me as I am holding S-reits myself.

Strategy
1) Sell off FSM MY once personal target is reach one fund at a time.
2) Keep money in Maybank eGIA-i/Amanah saham (they have online system now so can park money there instead of driving to the bank) until SGD exchange is favorable. Withdraw for exchange. Unless real crisis happen then will just TT my money over.
3) Make my x annual trip to SG with max money allowed to bring and deposit in CDM.
4) I can park the money in bond fund first and switch to any of equity fund that I want to buy as switching is FOC.
5) Buy using data from FSM SG. Yes I admit their interface + data is the best compare to POEMS SG/Dollardex.

A very good argument about whether a SG UT can yield more money vs MY UT using same amount of money.

I support Airbnb as they make it cheaper for people to travel. Something which the hotels don't like. Well it's my money. If someone can give me a better deal than hotel I will take it. If they can even offer better deal than Airbnb so be it  thumbup.gif
Well FSM was good. I believed they are the one which cause the likes of Dollardex/POEMS to appear? If you can't keep up with competition, you will fade away even if you are the pioneer. That's how capitalist work.

As long as they have customers like Auntie, FSM SG won't die  devil.gif

Nah. That won't share. Nobody may want to kidnap him but people might be interested in his grandparents/siblings, future wife/kids especially if someone keep track of that person and decide to launch a kidnap once they are on vacation. One can never be too safe with so many foreigners + syndicates operating in Malaysia.

How do you think people's house get broken into? One of the reason they went and post it all online saying they are going away on holiday for x days  devil.gif People post it on forums/blogs/FB/instagram.

May I remind everyone that wealth is not the most important asset. Time is.
To someone else, it might just not worth the time to-and-fro Singapore for that few dollars earned.

To simplify things, this is a simple calculation :
True Investment Value = Money Earned(or Saved) Divided by Time Spent Travelling (hours/days)

If say, you saved 50 dollars extra by travelling to Singapore which takes probably around 5 hours to-and-fro (total of 10 hours). So, your true investment value is 50 dollars/10 = 5 dollars per hour.
You are in actual fact being paid 5 dollars per hour for your time and effort. This has not taken into consideration of logistic, accommodation and F&B costs.

It might be a different story if you have a relative in Singapore whom you visit often or you travel to Singapore for work often. IMO, travelling there just to save that few pennies is totally not worth it.

Do not be "Penny Wise, Pound Foolish". Save on toilet papers, but spend lavishly on Ferraris.

I think I will going into Affin Hwang Select Bond Funds as it is quite tedious to keep chase after FD when the maturity date reach. Thanks for your recommendation!
Yes, RHB Emerging = RHB Emerging Market Bond Fund. I didn't realize there are two RHB emerging funds.

Can I know your reason on adding Ta Global Tech to a total of 23%?

Another questions that I would like to ask you that, both KGF and Ponzi 1.0 just acquired a few weeks ago, so the return now is still negative, is it a good practice to change now? And follow the recommendations that you suggest me? Thanks for your reply!
*
Why so anxious? You don't buy and sell unit trust like stockmarket. If wanting to sell just after a few weeks, you are utilising the wrong investment vehicle.

Of course it's still negative. Your sales charge deduction was merely few weeks ago. sweat.gif

Noob question.

If we include Cash Management Fund in the Portfolio Spreadsheet, would it affect the calculated IRR?

Thanks.

Because theoretically CMF is just a place where you park your money temporarily, unlike UTF. Therefore, including it would drag down the entire Unit Trust portfolio performance.

My dear big brothers, don't fight...So late liao.
Put the blame on me, I should have read more instead of keep asking around.
Something that I read tonight:

". When you are accumulating a corpus, sequence of equity returns can be handled with disciple and prudence. Minimizing volatility of returns requires a little bit of know-how in addition to discipline.

Powers of compounding illustrations never mention anything about volatility! Presence of volatility implies that when returns exceed expectation some portion of it must be shifted to less volatile debt instruments. This safeguards the fruit of compounding since what goes up will come down. On the other hand what goes down will go up. So when returns turn negative we need the disciple to shift funds from debt instruments into equity. This enhances returns when they turn positive. Such periodic shifting of funds from equity to debt and vice versa is known as rebalancing. It is a process by which volatility is contained. "

Sorry to other forumers and good night my big brothers!!

My principle of portfolio management is to make sure each UTF is within their pre-allocated percentage of portfolio.
Every month, I would top-up on those that are falling behind in terms of percentage.
For those that goes beyond their portfolio allocation, however, I do not sell. Why bother? By topping up on other UTF, indirectly, the portfolio percentage of those performing well would be "rebalanced".
This is how I passively rebalance my portfolio every month. Of course, there are many theories, thoughts and methods of doing periodic rebalancing.
Once a year, I will compare my UTF with their peers and switch to other UTF if there's better risk/reward ratio (or more upside than downside).
All of them should work as long as you minimise the cost (such as sifu @ramjade) (and risk) and stay invested in the long term (think 10-20 years).

In case you are a pessimist and World War does happen, don't worry about your portfolio/insurance/car loan/house loan. Cash out everything and stock up on as much gold bars, instant noodles, dried food, canned goods, protein powders, bottled water, weapons and fuel you can buy. flex.gif

This just struck my mind.

I wonder what age groups are the current FSM investors in this forum? Can we create a poll like this?
A. 21-30yo (the Gen Z)
B. 31-40yo (the Gen Y)
C. 41-50yo
D. 51-60yo

If you are a 11-20yo millennial and already saving up and investing, Kudos to you.
It's just interesting to know what age groups do the people like Xuzen, Ramjade and Avangelice belong to. So that you can compare this to yourself at your current age and get a grasp at whether you are ahead or behind your peers.
Much like comparing the performance of a UTF to another of the same market segment.

What do you all think?

I shall initiate.

I'm from Group A. Not much of return as yet. Just started investing with FSM this February. Previously was with the Public Mutual loser with disappointing results (-ve returns) for 3 years. So far, ROI since February with FSM is 5% with DCA. Not too shabby for a 5 month old portfolio. Only wished I had come to FSM sooner.

Not satisfied with amasia. Liquidate all of that and will switch to cimb greater china while waiting for SGD to drop again.

No bubble is burst here. Well done!
If you have invested in stocks and been actively buying on dips, probably you would have higher returns with less sales charge involved.

3% gain over 4 years is a terrible yield with such risk exposure. Better off putting money in FD.
