Totally agreed. I really looking for a Malaysia ETF but the one in our local stock exchange so low volume. Only EWM in NYSE.

any idea how often fund giving dividend? Some my fund is giving dividend. Now Total return is -1.8%

Kena google up the ETFs themselves - "dividend.com <ticker>"

For example:

- CWB (monthly)
- SPY (quarterly)

Thanks! Will we be taxed from the dividends? If we are, do we pay US tax or MY tax?

Malaysians and Singaporeans don't need to pay capital gains tax.

StashAway and their broker Saxo also help customers do withholding tax refund, but this one has significant delays, like I only got withholding tax reimbursement in October for FY 2017 investments, check with their customer support.

Is this auto help all stashaway customer to do the claim back?

Yea, but like I said: it’s very slow. You only get it in October 2018 for whatever holdings you have throughout FY 2017.

Is now a good time to join SA?

Can you time the market? If not, join SA and do dollar cost averaging.

A lot of green today. But who knows, the market could crash again. Just consistently put in money into SA for a long term, put more when the market is down.

Hey guys, just curious. What are your risk index? I am currently at 13.5% but thinking if I should dial it up to 20%, considering that dividends from US bonds are subject to 30% withholding tax..
Feedback welcome. Thanks.

Scroll up, they claim back withholding taxes for you.

Risk index should base on ur time horizon I guess, I go 36% coz I just started working and have decades to go.

True, they claim back a portion, but its super slow and delayed. Thanks for your feedback. I also have another question, upon adjusting the risk index, how soon does it take effect?

From my experience dialing up from 18 to 36... in 1-2 days.

They go by a daily loop of converting currencies, selling, buying.
