There aren’t that many personal finances and investment reading materials out there. There are lots of business magazines that tell you what the corporates are up to but these don’t quite help with making good investment calls. So what do you read to find out how others are managing their money, or what the market holds for individual investors?
Since I can’t find much in town, I started sourcing for reading materials in our neighbouring country, Singapore. What interests are the quarterly magazines published by Fundsupermart.com. The magazines are priced at S$8.00 each. You can order a magazine or a regular subscription online. I made an enquiry about having the magazines shipped here and was informed that I need to pay for my own postage. I was given a quote and it was quite costly so I decided not to proceed with my order. Instead, I got my Singapore-based cousin’s help to buy them off the rack and bring them back whenever she is headed back here.
So far I’ve only started with 2 issues and I find them quite a good read. If you have access, you might want to try out an issue and see if they are of any help to investment portfolio.

Yes, I fully agree with you! It’s a good read for unit trust shoppers indeed. As I’m still a novice investor, certain sections of the magazine is easy for digestion.
FYI, I’m contemplating of writing some suggestions and comments to FSM (Fund SuperMart)
Happy reading!
Don’t contemplate, just write in! No harm done, and if they take it, we could all benefit!
