If I might ask, what is:

TA - GTF
Selina Reits
Lee Sook Yee's UTF
Esther Bond

What is this simulator?

So in the example above, is it better to invest in the non-myr class? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so considering that the RM is so weak?

Not an expert, but what I did was use the equity portion of FSM's Moderately Aggressive portfolio in the ratios suggested and then topped up the bond portion with Affin Hwang Select Bond Fund:

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.

Speaking about dividends, how long does it take for dividends to show in eUT or FSM? I'm thinking about Affin Hwang Select Bond Fund in particular.

Tapping into more knowledgeable brains than mine: Is the drop in Affin Hwang Select Bond Fund purely because of the dividend on 12/12/2017? Thanks!

So the decrease in AHSB is purely a function of the stronger dollar? I have 42% of my portfolio in AHSB as ballast/bond. I thought it would smoothen the ride.

Is it a good idea to sell AHSBF and buy AmIncome Plus and Eastspring Investments Bond Fund?

I have 40% of my portfolio in bonds. I was really looking for it to act as balance. I can't get ASNB because I'm overseas and have never bought any ASNB.

Would it be appropriate to just have Malaysian bonds? I erroneously thought that Asian bonds would be more stable.
