ya, potong steam when never say what is the actual etf. just the allocation and risk index.

Wah. Kweb get canned (finally?). Tbh in the markets now I have a lot deeper loss pr0n…

When market is up everyone is a genius.

Now is the time to see who swims with no pants…..and right now only looks like mr buffet is still laughing.

why not? hahaha

if one is speculating mine would be:
KWEB no give kickbacks no more to SA + the hard move to remove all US listing to HKSE
https://kraneshares.com/kweb-aims-to-fully-...-coming-months/

The reason for no more kickback is most likely too much selling.

if any lesson is to be learned, you ended up investing with Stashaway methodology. I agree, it is not a wrong method to invest looking back at all my other vehicles.

Well there are bear markets and bull markets...

i dont know, are you ready to own Tencent and Baba right now?

nowadays diy with IBKR is very very low entry cost. I was tempted to put a hurry come and invest before it goes up, but everyone, be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy lo.

IBKR can buy $1 of most ETFs you can think of.
So yes it is doable. But you will be paying more and more fees. It’s 0.35 per transaction.

It’s never easy. But I can say that whatever I bought during the most scary painful kill-me-now-I’ll-never-retire times somehow has been the most rewarding.

And it’s not even at that stage yet, these days.

Unrelated to SA but FB is my single biggest individual stock holding……🫣

While it’s true no one stays on top of the mountain forever, never discount top American tech / talent. FB is one of the top attractor of talent in Silicon Valley. More so than AAPL.

So back to SA, yes perhaps KWEB was a drop glasses moment but no one ever said it will be a rose garden. The question one must ask Freddy is how much he himself invest in SA.

Just because you bought something and it goes up, doesnt mean you are right.

Just because you sold something and it goes up, doesnt mean you are wrong.

For those who envy KWEB, you can directly buy it...what is actually stopping you?

Honestly I have sold fractional shares and I’m not sure what is this hassle you’re talking about. You may end up not having sold all you wanted at exactly the same price but that’s no hassle to me.

There is a double edged sword when going lower in standard deviation, is that you are potentially under performing vs a same risk benchmark.

I hope this is not "out of topic" if I add my own 2cents. And tbh I've been refraining to post ever since some hotshot's mind got boggled by some of us who liquidated and still posting in this thread.

But, both of these arguments have merit, and ever more so depending on how tinted your glasses are. Every single war and conflict arises from someone attempting to do the greater good. Rarely has the greater good prevailed.

Come to the end, you need to choose a side and have a stand. I tried to understand Putin, like I tried to understand Hitler. I think I understood him and I find it unacceptable for my moral standard. I tried to understand Xi, but so far I see only a cunning snake. The only thing consistent is that he is trying to build his dynasty, much like Putin. And we know that power corrupts, so absolute power corrupts absolutely. He can lay out policy for the next millennia as he sees fit and good for China, but if he does not show the succession plan to relinquish that plan or to recognize that man's plan is never meant to be eternal then I think he will walk the path of absoluteness. Same as a certain ruling party in Malaysia.

So yeah, because of this, I also find it hard to invest in China. It is no coincidence that many democratic + capitalist companies have pulled out or are in the midst of pulling out of china. Same as Russia (i know some tech companies started 5 years ago). For short term play or momentum, sure why not. But I would not buy a Chinese stock and close my eyes and hand it to my kids.

Thanks for posting this, but YTD returns is disingenuous for a investing company to report given that it trumpets the 3 year and above story.

No doubt for the newbie it looks nice but it just looks like they wanna bury the evidence re-KWEB.

And did anyone counter check, really, they outperform benchmark this time around?….hard to believe….

-3% annualised since inception is more or less accurate, but also near the lower groups of actively managed funds…i consider it active since they love to invoke their eraa and rebalance / throw things around. I am neutral towards this but I’d very much prefer my robo a bit less swaying.
