Hypothetically speaking, if someone is able to generate a huge return for you, let's say 100% and above per year. But he wants a 90% cut out of it, will you engage him?

How inclined are you people when you have to give a significant percentage of your earnings to a financial advisor?

If he can do that, why should he do it for you? (likely no capital)

But that aside, I would ask him instead to guarantee my capital and a 10% annualised return would do.

Make sure he can guarantee the 100% returns first if he wants a 90% cut. If the investment makes a loss, is he willing to return you 90% of your capital?

No. 2 reason he is doing it for you.

He do not have the capital.
He do not want to undertake...

2nd year poly student here, i realised i've been spending a lot on social life. I want to start investing, should I cut off 100% of my social life and just stay at home and invest these money instead?

My parents always say that my generation is having it easy these days compared to their generation. What would you say is the biggest difference between working today versus working 10 years ago?

Can someone help explain how syfe time weighted return work? cause the time weighted return is positive while my portfolio return is negative. eg. +10% time weighted, -$100 portfolio return.

Any idea why Syfe's 100% Reit portfolio has lower 5 year historical returns (4.8%) than the Reits with Risk Mgt portfolio (6%)? In this case, what is the good thing about the 100% Reit portfolio?

For Syfe Equity 100, the average annual return is around 13.8%. Can I calculate my projected return for 30 years with 13.8% using compound interest calculator?
