Also very embarassed but how can i research on monex which ones would be better to invest in?

Well, unless you have a good reason to want to buy other things, you can just keep buying the all-country fund. This makes it very easy to manage your portfolio (have extra cash, buy more. Need cash, sell some).

The all-country fund owns almost 1500 companies from all over the world and is about as diversified as it comes in terms of countries, sectors, etc.

It's a really really big basket... The entire world of large-mid cap global stocks.

If you don’t have better ideas then I too think you’re good with the global equities fund, but if you do want to see what else you might start by taking a look at what other people are buying:

MY PAGE > 投資信託 > ランキング

This page would show you the funds that are popular with Monex investors. The equity fund you are in is second most popular there - 1st rank is the narrower S&P 500 equities fund.

You might use the search box, plug in “ｅＭＡＸＩＳ　Ｓｌｉｍ” and check the 14 results, which is a decent selection.

If you did feel like buying a bond fund, they have a developed markets fund one, and a riskier developing markets bond fund too.

These days the stock markets never go down much though - maybe “this time is different”? - so you might be just fine as you are. (I personally have some bond funds and would sell some of it and buy more equities if there would ever come another equities bear market, but am sacrificing some long term returns for a lower risk profile, if I believe actual data from the past)
