0. Bottom line first

Since April 9, 2025, I moved the full pension amount to VIP Asset Management. A little over one month later, the return is around 16%. I feel the fund is being managed professionally and steadily, and the best part is that I do not have to pay too much attention to it.

1. Why I Switched and the Early Result

Starting April 9 this year, I changed the entire pension investment to VIP Asset Management, and it feels like they are managing it stably and professionally.

I bought a partial amount on December 31 last year, and went all-in on April 9 this year. A little over one month has passed, and the return is about 16%.

As of the 2025-05-17 postAbout 16% return after a little over one month

2. Purchase Experience and Fund Flexibility

Interpretation: Usually fund purchases are executed two to three days after the buy order, but perhaps because VIP immediately bought with the deposited money, the fund was purchased right after I placed the order. I like that I do not need to worry much about it.

According to the investment prospectus, the fund has flexibility to hold bonds up to around 40% depending on conditions. That makes timing less of a concern in my view.

Personal Pension Management FlowReducing timing burden by delegating to professional management
First buyPartial amount on 2024-12-31
Full buyEntire pension on 2025-04-09
FlexibilityBonds can be around 40%
Early resultRoughly 16% after about one month
The focus is less on timing and more on management capability and long-term operation.
