Why are bond funds (Nomura, Amanahraya, etc) bleeding for past 1 week?

My roti telur now become roti kosong now   

Bad time .;(

Technically they're 2 different investment vehicles.

Stashaway invests into global ETFs, FSM Managed Portfolio invests into a diversified portfolio of unit trust funds.

You can't compare the risk factor between the 2, it's not the same.

FMCO 1/6.

What to invest? and when?

Hi,
I've read that article in fsm sg as they are suggesting to switch out of ARKK & BLACKROCK NEXT GEN TECH FUND..

Unfortunately I've invested in both funds in malaysia AFFIN GLOBAL DISRUPTIVE FUND & AFFIN NEXT GEN TECH FUND.
Once they were profitable, arkk fund was almost 20% when it was at peak. Should've sell all  holdings at the peak but no one can predict anything.

During arkk's dip CATHIE WOOD appears in some businees channels almost everyday and claims her stock picks will be bullish in near "future"(don't know when). She was extremely bullish on her stock Picks. But arkk's downtrend continues.

Last month I've trimmed my holdings in affin global disruptive fund at both FSMONE and Eunittrust. Now my current holdings still at loss. In FSMONE at (-11.55%) and EUNITTRUST(-7.85%) as at 11/6/2021

Still deciding what to do next whether to Hold or sell all at loss.

Doing some research on some funds.

Hi friends,

Are there any options to invest in US based index fund in MALAYSIA apart from STASHAWAY.

I could only figure out options in Singapore (FSMONE and TIGER BROKERS)

Are these platforms safe and trustworthy enough to invest in ?
As I am residing in Malaysia, and I don't have any bank account in Singapore .
This means both deposits and withdrawal will be charged high fees.

Anyone have invested in US based index fund eg: VOO(Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF) apart from (STASHAWAY MY & SG).

share your opinions.

hope this isn't off topic to this thread. yea, i am also invested in StashAway 36% but right now, it's 20% GLD, 40% Asia and only 40% USA. so it is not mostly invested in USA like i hoped. That said, I will still keep StashAway in my portfolio (for now) because their portfolio allocation has been doing quite well. and i will accept from time to time, they will change their USA & Asia & Precious Metals weightage based on whatever their system decides.

but going back to ganesh's question, i still prefer to have a portion of my investment to be fully (or mostly) invested in USA at all times. right now that would be United Global Quality Equity Fund but i'm hoping in the future to move it all to an ETF that tracks the S&P500 i.e. VOO, IVV, SPY.

Hi need advise if there's any good place I can put my money now for my fsm portfolio? Should I put some into US? Or commodities?

Current portfolio

Malaysia - 22%
Asia Pacific - 12%
China - 25%
Global - 11%
Money market - 30%

Two different views. And yes the reason I didn't get into both of them is because of the sky-high price. I've been waiting for us to go down but only up up up lol.

Any specific fund to look for commodities? I know what fund to go when I want to enter us. No idea with commodities

Can share which platform you use for US ETF?
I'm having hard time convincing myself to buy ETF using small amounts due to the high % of transaction costs.
And I haven't figure out the tax implications too for Malaysian buying US ETF on capital gains/dividend...if anyone know where to point me to.

Hi,
ARKK has turned green now and my affin portfolio turned green after some top up and few weeks ago I trimmed my holdings.
Holdings on both FSMONE and eunittrust are green.

But not sure how long this trend goes. Or it's temporary?
Thinking of disposing all  affin global disruptive at no loss.

Considering Franklin Templeton US Opportunities (MYR) fund and some European funds. Remain neutral on CHINA funds.

Deciding to buy now or later as there are many rumors saying that stock market could crash?

Don't know whether the market will crash or "major correction".
So confused.

Will decide in few days.

fsm always gives promo when market is at a high hahaha

nothing, market on a hill.

ok well, china tech fell off a cliff today

kind of worrying thou, lately China a lot drama, felt like not a good sign 

My plan for the rest of the year is moving my funds out of KLSE to FSM UT. 

Wanna diversify into china asia. , I am considering Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Growth or Income funds, for med term.

Anyone have Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Growth ???

Thanks

Now also many of the china funds is near their 200 sma already. If wait another 2 months likely will go into correction territory before resuming the uptrend in Oct if it happens as u say.

Hmm yesterday US big drop. Interesting to see what happens next

Is this good time to buy malaysia equities funds?
Almost all high risk malaysia equities fund is in downtrend.
Maybe political uncertainty and MCO
Will this downtrend continue?

agree, looks how KLSE performs compared to others. 

IMO the only playable strategy in KLSE now is collect blue chip dividend stock, anyway it is not UT related thou

Sorry a bit out of topic. What are the good bluechip dividend stock now? Only have tenaga and TM for now.

not sure if this is noises or Armageddon shouter...

just saw this youtube....
with alot of charts and data to say that ....
US EQ mkts (thus & the rest of the world mkts too) is gonna have problems...

just be warned...abit dry and good for those that had studied some economic...for they can catch up on the terms & abbreviation mentioned..

Hi all. Hoping to get your thoughts and opinions.

How many funds should one have ideally?

In my case I already have about 9k in 3 funds weighted more or less at my target allocation. That is; 45% Affin Select APAC ex Jap Dividend Fund, 45% Affin Select Asia ex Jap Quantum Fund, 10% Affin Select Bond Fund.

The prob however is that I only have RM100 a month to use for DCA-ing. So I have to choose one fund to contribute to each month. Typically I choose the one that is most underweight from the target allocation however my more volatile funds don’t seem to benefit much from the DCA-ing this way.

Are 3 funds too many in my case? I used to only have 2, just the dividend fund and the bond fund. However I’m trying to increase my average annual rate so I added the quantum fund early this year. 

Any thoughts? Sorry if it’s a noob question though. I am a noob after all.

Hi All, is FSM MY going to launch US stocks and ETF?
Received an email about a change in Investment Account Terms & Conditions.

By the end of 1H 2021, 5 out of the 6 calls were spot on , which is for Asia and Emerging Market (EM) equities to outperform Developed Market (DM) equities, has not played out

How should you position your portfolio in 2H 2021?

1. Overweight Equities over Bonds
Reminder: This is not a recommendation to switch all bonds into equities. Bonds are still a key part of investors' portfolios as a diversifier and stabiliser while generating different sources of returns to investors.

2. Overweight Asia ex Japan and EM over Developed Markets
Reminder: This is not a recommendation to only invest in Asia ex Japan and EM equities. Investors should still have exposure to other core equity markets such as global developed markets and Malaysia to achieve overall portfolio diversification.

3. Add supplementary positions in some of our favourite markets - China, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Brazil

4. Add supplementary positions in megatrend sectors - technology and healthcare

5.  Medium-long duration and lower rated / unrated Malaysian bonds

6. Add supplementary positions in Asian High Yield and EM bonds

Reminder: Investors should keep each supplementary positions to within 10% of a portfolio and avoid over concentration risk which could jeopardise overall portfolio stability.
