Hi guys, I just opened an account but I'm already feeling so overwhelmed with all the information provided not only on the website but in this thread. I understand what a trust fund is and the general investment tips like diversifying portfolio and all but I really have no idea on how and where to start.

Please advise me on the right direction as I have never invested before. I'm ready to invest RM2,000 and see how it goes.

hi peeps,

after opening an account i contacted the in-house investment specialist dude and he was really helpful in giving an in-depth recommendation on how i should get started. i'm quite convinced with his recommended portfolio but of course, it would be nice if i could gather some thoughts from the sifus here before i start committing into it.

kenanga growth fund - 10%
kaf vision fund - 10%
eastspring investment global emerging market fund - 10%
cimb principal asia pacific dynamic income fund - 20%
cimb principal global titans fund - 10%
rhb emerging market bond fund - 10%
affin hwang select bond fund - 10%
libra asnita bond fund - 20%

good portfolio to start off with?

thanks for the quick reply but could you please elaborate a bit why i should be considering your suggestions?

i heard from my gf to not buy manulife india for now as it's back up again. is it still a viable fund choice?

yes, i agree with you that i shouldn't touch my initial portfolio so soon as it's beneficial for me to learn markets movement through it. i'm open to any tweaks to the portfolio i posted if you have any!

sorry mate but i'm chinese illiterate. any english articles so i can read more in depth on the indian economy?

oops didn't notice the english option. my bad.

i was discussing with my mother about fsm and all these platforms in general and she has concerns on their legitimacy. what kind of evidence does fsm provide to show that they actually made the investments on your behalf? do they provide a proof of purchase from the trust fund itself?

as a new fsm user, could someone here explain how long it takes for the ut to redistribute the units after a unit split?

hi guys, i've been holding kenanga growth fund since may 2017 and i still have negative growth at -2.39% as of today. if i were to sell the fund and reinvest to an up-and-coming fund, what would you all recommend?

Sorry, my maths very bad but how do I calculate my actual holding values currently? Is it my units * 1.6 * 1.1379?
