My portfolio is bleeding!

KLCI dropped for 6 days straight!

Guys, any of you know any Singapore forums that have FSM SG thread, and as active as our thread there?

I have gained a lot of knowledge from this thread, and now as I will be working in SG soon, I am thinking of investing via FSM SG.

I dont plan to use SG to invest in FSM MY, partly because MYR is so volatile now and I am afraid it might continue to drop.

if you know how to read mandarin cariforum even better dasecret has the link. most fsm staffs are there anyways

Today everything red, so I log in FSM and see...port dropped like 3% 
Actually he specifically asked for FSM SG discussion thread;
and Dr Avangelice also mentioned that the Cari forum is in Chinese (Mandarin).
I don't know what are you reading bro 

I believe Bursa Malaysia have their own ETF as well...but it is on a share trading platform, not available on FSM, and I don't have experience with it so can't comment..

Guys, any of you know any Singapore forums that have FSM SG thread, and as active as our thread there?

That is because there are restrictions on buying foreign-listed ETFs in both countries.

mana Ramjade. where is your correction top up?

He is waiting for the big one. When some alien from a galaxy far far away comes to invade earth, then he will
invest....

ouch.

lol even worst. your..... (work pay?) convert to Singapore and portion of it goes to currency exchange then part of it goes to service charge.

well your way. your dole.

Justnow I remember someone saying better avoid FSM SG, I guess it has been taken off or edited now.

Anyway, my dilemma now is actually whether to keep my savings in SGD and invest there or convert it to MYR and top up my FSM MY fund.

If FSM SG is not a preferred choice to park my SG savings, then what should i do? Where should i invest in? Now that I have SGD, I am afraid to convert it to the volatile MYR. 

That is interesting Bro Ram, please share some info procedure.

People running to yen and gold now with the impending war and uncertainty

your statement doesn't do anything to the discussion. people asking why suddenly up during a correction and why yen is a refuge for investors,  you talk about small caps during peace time.

But Japan is right next to Korea! Weird that people think of it as a safe haven at a time like this. Why not Europe or something?

The explanation for the yen’s attractiveness appears to be a combination of factors, chief among them the size of Japan’s foreign assets. They trump proximity to Pyongyang in the eyes of investors because, at times of tension, funds may be repatriated. That in turn would spur currency gains.

Japan’s net foreign asset position is “very, very significant,” according to Mitul Kotecha, head of Asia FX & Rates Strategy at Barclays Plc. The yen is therefore “always going to have this safe-haven bid when you do see bouts of risk aversion,”

The yen’s proven historical performance at times of global risk may also be a factor. It’s even displayed a tendency to strengthen at times of internal crisis.

Meanwhile, the yen’s use as a funding currency is the key for Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. in New York. In this type of trade, investors typically borrow in a low-yielding currency, sell it and use the proceeds to buy higher-yielding assets. Geopolitical tension can encourage them to unwind their trades, and this involves buying the funding currency.

last years 2016 Asian bond rout will happens again after trump announced a tax cut.

now to jump into global tech and let go of Malaysia

Why would a US tax cut cause Asian bond rout? Care to share your thoughts?

Bearing in mind I don't know much about the inner workings of the economy, won't Malaysia increase interest rate in tandem?

As someone living in the US, I find it fascinating that the US economy is followed so closely in Malaysia.

Dear sifus , I'm new to this fsm.

Currently have about rm1k to invest in this stuff. How do I start to minimise sales charge and which fund to buy in view our current economic climate?

So far eyeing ponzi 2.0 and kenanga growth fund this two only. Is it wise to start with 500 -500 each? Or there is minimal investment required?

The 0.5% portfolio management fee is per annum, so if you keep it for 10 years it'll be 5% accumulated, similar to the platform fees of 0.05% per quarter or 0.2% per annum for certain FI funds. Some ppl are allergic to this type of charges 

Anyway, it depends on what type of investor you are in order to decide which type of product suits you. In the past month I think all those who invested in managed portfolio will tell you that the managed portfolio fell in lesser % than their DIY portfolio

That's why I don't get what are you doing in UT, UT is the worst vehicle you can use if you are allergic to fees

There are lots of more cost effective vehicles out there since time and effort is not an issue for you

Could someone please recommend me a REIT fund? Those listed in FSM page may not as 'real-life'!

Manulife reit. it covers Asia ex Japan but in retrospect its major investment is Singapore Reits. proceed with coution

Thanks but we don't have these in FSM, do we?

I see...too bad then. Not thinking of opening a brokerage account in SG. Was thinking to purchase from FSM Malaysia tho.

Did a some tweaking with Algozen™ ver four recently.

Here are some salient points:

1) She is now in favour of Greater China and I used eastspring dinasti as the proxy for greater china exposure. If you like CIMB Greater China pun boleh jugak. 10% max exposure.

2) India is still a no - go. Zero exposure.

3) KGF versus IDS? Siapa menang? IDS menang @ max allocation = 15%

4) Reduce bond in favour of equities. What does this means? My personal interpretation is that you want higher return, you just have to take accept the  risk... the days of easy return with little risk is not there anymore. Initially my bond was at 40%, now I am reducing to 30%. Where does the 10% go to? To the reits.

5) I am increasing my exposure to Manureits. Why? I believe the Algozen™ ver four is telling me, reits is the new bond. Of course it is not as stable as bond, but remember this, she has to balance between stability and return. Hence reits is a good balance between the two. Manureits = will increase exposure to 25% from previously 15%.

6) TA Tech is still my alpha - maker. Was at 30%, now reduce to 20%. Where will the 10% go? It will go to Greater China.

7) Europe = still no buy signal!

8) Ponzi 1? Not under Algozen™ ver four radar. Risk to reward ratio does not reach threshold benchmark.

9) Ponzi 2? No corr-coeff data available from Morningstar. Missing data = unable to perform calculation, hence will omit this UTF from port consideration.
