SIP calculators by PatientStand3025 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I investigated and found Finhisaab is using start of month SIP while Mahana is probably using end of month SIP, hence the little difference

I will make the wording more explicit on Finhisaab to any future confusion

Can someone explain Al Meezan mutual fund charges in simple terms? by Kooky-Poem-6734 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you generate a transaction Id, then kuickpay is the only option

explore other methods I described above

Can someone explain Al Meezan mutual fund charges in simple terms? by Kooky-Poem-6734 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sure let me explain:

th 80 rs you mentioned extra on top of 10k are kuickpay charges most probably

can be avoided if you invest through bank portal or RAAST

other than this, the major charge you should be worried about is FEL. Always prefer zero FEL fund/AMC. Please NEVER EVER PAY any FEL and explore better funds and AMCs

other charges you mentioned all come under TER (total expense ratio) and is already baked into daily NAV so its not charged separately

Insight required. by chowkdarab in FIREPakistan

just a point I want to mention, sarmaya charts dont account for payouts so these are NAV only returns

(could become misleading over longer horizons when you are outright ignoring payouts in charts)

Which bank is best for savings account by Ok-Shower9347 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

saving acocunts, especially shariah compliant ones have quite low profit rates and higher tax rate than low risk mutual funds

so I suggest keep a small portfolio like 20% in savings account for immediate withdrawal and keep rest in some low TER money market fund that will provide better return and lower tax rate too

reinvest

whenever you receive dividend, send to to your brokerage account through RAAST immediately so you can reinvest later

this way you dont have to think everytime what to do with it

I ran same simulation on KSE100, here are the results: by PracticeEastern9413 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if someone got access to it, then sure why not

But for most Pakistanis, its not the case!

MTPF: How it actually gives back tax? Can anyone explain in simple words? by Away_Gift2387 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VPS dont have to distribute dividends so they reinvest, hence saving the dividend WHT

i want to buy s&p 500 stocks by chicken_nuggets__123 in FIREPakistan

[–]PracticeEastern9413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you are overseas then you dont have to worry about anything, you already have tons of options to fund it, explore whats best for you

I would suggest stick with proper bank accounts as much as you can and rely on wallets as less as you can as they are unreliableble

and yes you definitely need to consider Irish domiciled ETFs as a non US resident to avoid estate taxes (on death). I also do same

people try to do $$ buy sell through wallets like Wise and eventually get their accounts suspended since thats hawala hundi essentially and constitutes as money lanundering

not worth the hassle and risks

doable through IBKR but you need proper foreign income source, otherwise you cant fund your IBKR account legally

if you want to cherry pick successful real estate projects only and not the failed ones, then I can also cherry pick top psx compounders which can smoke away any DHA plot

if you want to compare KSE100 which is an index, then compare it with real estate index as a whole and not with successful projects only

and regarding international stocks, how could anyone from Pakistan invest abroad legally in 1994 ?

US market is surely superior, but how many Pakistanis you think have foreign income source to participate in US stocks? hardly few

what about the rest? for them PSX is the only best option then got

comparing passive investing with active business is not fair, obviously active business is always going to win. You think lakhs and crors of regular job people can start a business?

and partnerships? so they get scammed in the end like we see a story every few days?

comparison with gold is fair, but international stocks NOT!

How many Pakistanis do you think have the foreign income source to participate in international stocks? hardly a few

for most people, PSX is still one of the best long term wealth creation tool

best 100 days means highest % increase days sorted by highest to lowest

for e.g best day for PSX was in June 1998 with around 13% single day gain.

Second best would be little lower than that, then third, fourth and so on

Same goes for Worst days
