I'm new to unit trust investing in Malaysia. Just wondering what most forumers do.

And how to know when to buy and when to sell? How do the timers among you decide?

I seem to remember that LSI is better and did a quick Google search: https://investor.vanguard.com/investing/onl...invest-lump-sum.

I LSI when I can. I DCA out of my paycheck.

"I believed most UT consultant would like you to invest in one lump sum so that they can earned the commission earlier.
this I think, the UT consultants would prefer DCA over LSI.....for they would prefer to have a more constant and predictable regular income from sales charges's commission"

The thing with Vanguard is that they don't charge commission and their expense ratio is the lowest in the industry.

You won't be able to invest in Vanguard from Malaysia unless you are willing to pay higher brokerage fees + maintenance fees + dividend fees which defeat the purpose of investing in ETFs (I am assuming you are going to invest in ETF since you mentioned Vanguard)
No, I was just speaking to the comment that Vanguard (based on the research in the link I posted) was biased because of the intimation that they charge commission. They don't.
