Best to get direct exposure instead of getting unit trust companies to manage. The cost of "management" eats the bulk of your gross returns anyway.

For direct investment to the equity market, since one lot is just 100 shares, to get a diversified portfolio, but about 7 counters that you like that have potential. My personal investment mantra "if you use their products and services, you can buy their shares".

I believe to really make money in Unit Trust is long term Regular Savings method.
Unit Trust is good for newbie investor who doesn't know much about stocks itself.

Some HL fund fellows (I met last week) proposed that if I invested rm20k per year and continue for the next 6 years with the same amount, my returns is rm5k per annum. If  you invested rm100k > rm25 per annum, The period must be 6 years, etc....

pardon my ignorance.. is the return good enough to offset the mortgage interest rate?

thinking if i have the spare cash, should i invest in something long term like that to offset the interest rate or use the money to pay off a mortgage as soon as possible.

which is more viable?

i guess there is not much investment can offset the inflation in the country. but if the return is low, is rather than we save it in our bank account that only earn a bit interest (some even do not have interest).

for a "kai su" people, FD or those fixed return investment will be a better choice because they do not need to worry about the return. and for those who not scare of losing their money, they can go invest on those high risk investment (high risk, high return).

unit trust is crap. it is nonsense if anyone preach it is for long term. ask yourself where did unit trust make their money from? leverage on equities, real estates, bonds, etc??? if so why do i need to put my money in the hands of fund managers when i can invest directly myself. fund managers have personal agenda like making money for himself/herself above all else. i just don't trust my money in the hands of strangers.

I believe the initial high commission imposed on the unit trust and the existing market conditions with low sentiment now pro-long the holding period to break-even or profitable for those unit trust holders. I have not invested in unit trust in view of this.
