US stocks RSP min fee I think is 0.08% or USD 1, while Rakuten min fee is RM9 for 5k trade value. So seems like RSP is cheaper.
*
It is 0.8% or USD1 minimum as it is still higher after stamp duty

In fact RSP kills you more on fees otherwise robo advisors would not have a market for RSP 🤦‍♀️

I understand that investing RM100 would result in 4.5% fee due to the USD1 min fee.

but how this is 4.5 times more expensive than Rakuten, which with a USD1.88 min fee as you mentioned in your previous post?

would love to learn more about this
*
Rakuten per trade at rm1000 will cost about less than rm9 about usd220 per trade will cost usd1.88 plus stamp duty about 1.92 in the end

Pm me if you want more further details

FSM ETF RSP per trade at rm1000 will cost USD1 (rm4.48 based on google FX rate now) plus stamp duty, maybe rm5+ in the end?
how is rm5+(FSM ETF RSP) 4.5 times more expensive than rm9 (rakuten)?  sweat.gif
i understand that FSM normal stock/etf trade is very expensive at USD8.8 min fee, but i think we were talking about FSM ETF RSP here.
*
Read 4.5x times based upon rm100 RSP

But if rm1000 different story but to those who RSP they wouldn’t put it a 1000 monthly rather few hundreds a month 🤦‍♀️ while owning a fractional lots not to mentioned selling fee later in the future incurred

i will not touch any bond that is not investment grade bond, not worth the risk to lose all the capital

might as well invest in equity with that kind of risk
*
Doesn’t matter IG bond or not because CS bonds are IG yet they fall 🤦‍♀️

What you need to check when buying bonds now is the issuer and whether it is AT bonds and the tenure payout with at least 5 year track records and don’t buy a new bonds even though it is cheap

I have one bond fund with them, but not the one mentioned in the news. Should I be worried?
*
Check the bond fund holdings to be sure but if it single bond holding then you should be worried because of the bond swaps

QUOTE(adele123 @ Mar 22 2023, 08:23 AM)
Can take up the annual report or other documents for the fund you hold. It should state what bond they bought.

Since CS is overseas, in theory, if your bond fund is local only, then should be dont have. But if it's mixed of local and foreign then dunno le.

I suspect those 2 bond funds affected are for HNW customers. Suspect only.
*
They will have ISIN which you can trace

The bond funds are not for HNW as it is wholesale bond fund which is minimum 10k 🤦‍♀️

Only those structured and HNW bond fund starts from 250k onwards which are exclusive unlike these 2 are which are wholesale and open to general public

actually b4 this thing blow up I dont even know the at1s are as such a crazy creature. on top of that, the fact that shareholder get something when so called bond holder get wipe is really eyes opening..

and I kepo read thru their factsheet, product highlight sheet and text search their annual report, not a single word mentioned that this is additional tier-1 stuff..

I wonder how public would know besides that this super-star "Credit Suisse" bond which is a bank with 100 over years history and pay decent yield.
who would check thru the isin?? most public does far less due diligence on buying a fund than their "studies" to buy a handphone.

also a mere rm10k entry point surely quite some people kena...

I guess it is roughly 70 ~100m worth of moeny got wipe?? dunno whats the final damages and how many (retail? hnwi?? insti???) investors.
*
AT1s are consider new because it is only happen after GFC so hence not many ppl are aware of it because bonds can be created easily and be swapped around

ISIN can be check easily because fund fact sheet would have shown the ISIN and holdings

You need to wait for at least 6 months once the merger is completed and approved by SNB and FINMA but based on the current market value you should be getting only 30 cents to the dollar value unless you being offered CS preferred instead

The problems is UBS haven’t announced what is process of CS AT1s conversion whether they are actually taking full ownership of the losses because SNB also is involved with the write down or issuance of new bonds or preferred shares to replaced it

Dear guru,
I have these funds in my portfolio:

- AHAM Select Asia (ex-Japan) Opportunity Fund
- Manulife India Equity Fund
- Manulife Greater China Fund
- Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund
- Principal Global Titans Fund

Seeking diversification. What funds (equity or balanced) do you guys recommend?
*
You need to buy some fixed income, bonds, reits or commodities to balanced it

Are you looking just equities UT or can be anything else?

add some US tech. TA Global Tech for example

If you have enough spare money, u can add a small position on AI also. Something like RHB Global Artificial Intelligence Fund - MYR Hedged

If you wish to diversify away from pure equity, you may consider the following :

If you have even more money, you can consider add small position in Global Agribusiness and Manulife Global Resources Fund

Unfortunately the timing is bad to add in any gold or precious metals funds now. Too high...
*
Not a good time to add either of all because it shot up too high this year 🤦‍♀️

Better play would spreading into Heathcare and quality dividends yielding REITs now

yes i forget about reit. yea if got the cash a little in reit makes sense now also.

us tech is not good good time, but some small cap is so cheap now its a bargain too.
*
In fact valuation wise now healthcare and reits are undervalued

Small cap tech got bargains around especially those promising growth and cash balance that you need to check properly

My Sofi and Palantir been holding very well since I bought very close to the bottom so now just put in very large holdings on healthcare before the jittery news this week

Which reit are you eyeing?

Until now fixed income funds are still poorly performing.
*
Euro reits particularly Germany housing

FI been dragged down by bonds underperformance last year hence with the kinda of performance last year you should have switch to better yielding and defensive like consumer staples and utilities

To me my FI would be nothing more than treasuries bills and MMF and I stay away from bonds because I don’t trust bonds as it can be defaulted any time due to the tenure particularly long term high yielding bonds

Thanks. Will look into that.
I looking towards ETF. Are they good enough?
*
Yes good enough but beware of the charges because it is minimum 8.80 per currency that you trade with

The best you can go with execution and low fees is IBKR and followed by Rakuten

Then your view is wrong 🤦‍♀️ BoE has a lot of reserves at the moment which is why you don’t see pound falls 50% below its value during Brexit 🤦‍♀️

The money is so strong that puts RM to shame and it will never go down to below rm4.80 in your lifetime 🤦‍♀️
