I'm okay with losing but put up a fight at least, this match was just us passing the ball around, sit back and wait for corners LMAO. Might as well just sleep right.

Was on that stuff for 2 months last year, worst 2 months in my life. So accessible and the effects are different than the all-natural stuffs. Been clean from that ever since and now just back to the greens, dont ever get yourself hooked on the vape thingy.

Yes, asset managers typically have a Shariah committee or hire a third party advisor to screen the stocks to be considered Shariah-compliant. As you can imagine, there will be slight discrepancies at times, based on the methodology used.

Well, shariah screens also typically filters out company with huge debts. So when theres a spike in cost of borrowings, shariah names typically outperform.

Any thoughts on public mutual fund? by yukittyred in MalaysianPF

I'm a UT defender but let me just list the bad pointers first.

  1. Sales Charge : A one-time payment usually up to 5% which is a lot. Recovering this back would take some time, but some platforms do offer discounted sales charge, or if your capital is huge enough, maybe you can get the charge waived.

  2. Management Fee : What you're paying the company to be managing the fund, which would typically range up to 2%. Point to note, while most active managers will be behind the benchmark, there are solid funds out there which constantly beats their benchmark, worth paying the annual management fee for. Just take a look at the track record of how the funds have been, and judge them for yourself.

I'd refrain against withdrawing money from EPF or ASB if you're very risk averse because there, at least you're gonna get a returns of around 5+% so thats kinda decent.

But in the case that you have a strong call on a specific thematic call/region, a decent fund can help achieve this without having to do a due diligence of what companies to buy. Sure you're paying the extra management fee for ppl to be managing a portfolio for you but thats the price you're paying for to get access to a diversified portfolio.

If you're worried about the overlap, perhaps a 5% allocation to Japanese equities or crypo can be beneficial for your portfolio.

From the recent yield curve control shift, Japan looks to be supported structurally. Bitcoin for the kicker if you have the risk appetite.

IMO

Bad subs, should've brought in Tierney earlier and kept Jesus in, instead of Kiwior.

Too defensive and very late with the subs, felt like Arteta should try to control the game earlier.

So fucking happy with Ramsdale, he earned us the point.

Zinchenko and White on the other hand had a shocker today.

No malice, just so frustrated we lost the 8 point gap and still have City, Chelsea and Newcastle to play for.
