Is FAM GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES PLUS FUND a good Unit Trust?

Recently got into this ILP by recommendation from a Finexis agent. Trying to get some layman insight on its possible prospects.

Hi anon,

You bring up a very interesting question. I tried to find more info on the fund and managed to dig up the factsheet here: https://webcms.finexisam.com/assets/publication...Factsheet-_FGOPlus.pdf Seems like the fund is rather new and seems to be buying into a basket of funds and ETFs. I would advise treading with caution. I'll update if I can find out more. A 60% allocation to equities is a bit on the aggressive side, but not overly so.

What else were you told about this fund? In theory, you could buy a number of the sub-components of the funds yourself, such as the Eastspring Japan Dynamic fund. The minimum entry seems high, regardless of share class. There doesn't seem to be any further information on the weights of each of the top 5 holdings, which makes it a little hard to analyze. Having exposure to Asian/US equities is okay, as there are bonds to balance out the portfolio.
