2 new ETFs will be listed tomorrow on bursa. Both BY affin Hwang. I got to attend a talk about it and went through the prospectus.

1) Asia ex-Japan REITS ETF (0837EA)

The ETF invests in a basket of Reits in the Asia Pac region with highest "sustainable" dividend yields. No suprise, most of the reits will be those listed in Singapore and HK. They target quarterly dividend payout.

The prospectus only stated their top 10 holdings, so here I state the top 5 holdings:
Ascendas reit
Link reit
Capital Mall reit
Mapletree North Asia reit
Fraser's Logistics reit

Full holdings should be disclosed tomorrow in bursa announcement.

2) Malaysia Momentum Tracker ETF (0836EA)

This ETF invest in 20 Malaysian stocks with the strongest price momentum for each quarter. Basically, the ETF try to capitalize on the well known market phenomenon that stocks that performs well tend to continue to perform well and stocks that lag continue to lag.

Top 5 stocks in the ETF:

Supermax
Top Glove
Kossan Rubber
Hartalega
Dialog

Looks like a Gloves ETF.. 😆

Full holdings can be found at the announcements sections  of the ETF from tomorrow.

P/S I always liked ETF and welcomes more of them in bursa.

Hi

For the New China ETF. I don't expect any dividends from it.
Most of the stocks in the ETF are growth tech types which are not dividend paying. Theoretically, the ETF can still pay dividends but it would be quite rare. Invest for capital gains. It's like investing in stocks like Amazon or Tesla. You don't invest for dividends.

The reits etf is expected to pay regular Dividends.

Buying any etf is just like buying stocks. So it's brokerage, clearing fee n SST. No stamp duty. N You don't pay the other fees.

Since u mentioned Wahed, if u are buying etf directly you are bypassing one intermediary and save on fees. Of course, now u have to select your own etfs and monitor yourself.

1-year total returns (based on yesterday closing price) of the Bursa ETFs that I hold long term:

0800 EA Malaysia bond = + 7.81%*

* this include dividends

0828EA Gold = + 26.29%

0829EA New China = + 32.22%

** no dividends for the last two.

ETFs and stocks are a bit different mindsets. I have both stocks and ETFs. And I also own ETFs on SGX and HKEX.

What happen to the CHINAETF-MYR (0829EA)??
dropped so much today?

even if management fees cheaper, the illiquidity means you'll pay the "savings" to market. forced to buy at a higher price to get into position, or queue and wait long long

my KWEB (part of StashAway portfolio) dropped from -1% to -8% yesterday also
