Seems to be "yes" according to replies here. No personal experience yet.

But then would that not throw all the DCA efforts all these while back to square one? Interesting.....  hmm.gif And the same happens again and again whenever portfolio is re-optimized?

Not much explanation in SA's information page as to what happens to already-purchased assets after re-optimisation.

yes, in theory SA will sell and re-purchase again (like your entire portofolio). As a big chunk of the ETF selections has been changed, this is sort of "reset" button.

Some users have different experience where for instance if same ETF but increase/reduction in weightage, it was completely sold off and repurchased again at the new price whereas some only did re-balancing. So it's difficult to tell what happens behind the scenes - that is up to SA discretion I suppose as they will have to manage their transaction fees.

If you been consistently DCA'ing till now, you would have earned somewhat on the forex (USD/MYR has been upward trend). Only for those that entered the market in Dec-Jan would be facing the lower end of the return spectrum and depending on their timing of their deposits.

remember china one belt one road?

long story short, even if those manufacturing move out from china and move into other asia countries, there's high chances those factory are owned by china company, unless they move back to the US which i highly doubt.

why you might heard avoid china debt trap
sure, china aint not angel but so is the west
but here's a food for thought
there's no free meal in this world but
china ''giving'' ''loan'' to those country to improve their infrastructure

i am not sure if i am biased towards china but my asset allocation was heavy on china and currently balancing it with US holdings

there's alot more to research and dig, instead of just read and look main stream media, which most of the time just propaganda.
also take a look at south africa relantionship with china. its pretty interesting

one thing is quite certain, the political situation for China vs the world is quite tense.

coupled with the energy crisis situation now and QE and deflation in the West, we might be looking at WW3.

this gamble to move to China can turn out really good or really bad.

china equities are really on steroids compared with US markets.

36% risk portfolio:

IVV sold at 281.79 compared with the current market price at 285.97 is quite significant (wonder why SA sold at such low price) ~3% below market price doh.gif

think this round the re-optimization is making loss for me as a whole. i hope SA know what they are doing

I'll test transferring some money first to simple, then simple -> portfolio.

And simple> bank

Will update when I have the results. Hopefully deposit vs withdrawal will be about equal speed.
