Why do they even invest in China now

China is a time bomb, with the global tensions and countries trying to decouple supply chain from China, and boycott sentiment getting stronger

Hmmm. first time I am experiencing this major re-optimisation.

Plus with China getting pressured from everyone, and sanctions coming in from US, India prefers investors from Taiwan instead of China, Japan already saved up cash to migrate manufacturing out of China.

I don't think many major countries want to continue with China's trade after all this fucked up virus, Hong Kong protestors, WHO incident, Uighurs concentration camps.

And now SAMY wants to invest in a Chinese Tech ETFs. I am concerned to say the least. Bad vibes.

Industry giants like Apple are already compelled to shift supply chain out of China, risky move indeed

e.g. Latest news of moving 20% to India.

hmm really? there seems to be contradicting news then lol

New Delhi: Several meetings between Apple’s senior executives and top ranking government officials over the last few months have paved the way for the iPhone maker examining the possibility of shifting nearly a fifth of its production capacity from China to India and scaling up its local manufacturing revenues, through its contract manufacturers, to around $40 billion over the next five years, say officials familiar with the matter.

even US companies go Indonesia to set up their manufacturing plant

Good point. I think the lesson from this COVID nightmare is that most MNC realised that they can't put their eggs all into 1 basket, especially Supply Chain.
When China went to lock-down, many global companies got hit because their supply chain got severely disrupted.

They are all planning longer term 'geographical diversification' to avoid concentrated supply chain risk, i.e. heavy reliance on China.
Vietnam, Indonesia, India are all beneficiaries of this shift

But it doesn't make much sense. Because it will take longer ie. 4 to 5 business days.

yes. Transferring from Simple to Portfolios is even slower, I kena before also lol
because they have to sell the MMF in Simple first which takes days then buy into the Portfolio components

then might as well transfer directly from bank account and is even faster right.

erm, depends on whether you want to store the money with the alleged higher interest lor

Simple is supposed to give higher interest rate than normal bank saving's account.
But yes, it's less liquid for sure dry.gif

Now I’ve moved to self investing of a few UTs and ETFs

Some that tracks Global indices, and some that are high growth ETFs, and some ESG UTs

may i know what platform? is it endorsed by SC?

Hmm good idea...which platform you using? The transaction n mgmt fee won't be higher than SA?

I mainly use IBKR (interactive broker), one of the largest eTrading platform in the world. With excellent forex rate too

Fees are lower than SA but you need to know what to buy lor, ownself do some research and select the UT or ETF which has a good track record

You can seek advise here, a lot of sifu to teach you

HENG AH!!!

I got a heart attack seeing syfe mentioned as good option LOL. Endowus is far more level headed in their approach to investments.

Agree. Endowus is by far the best, way better than Syfe and SA
