is the Public Far-East Telco & Infrastructure Fund (PFETIF) still a viable fund to invest in?

yes

in the website or reports;
In any fund, the retunrs calculated for fund it self, the total NAV of the fund. let say fund Z with 100 mil units.. let say its show the returns 100% in 10 yrs.

but a investor can be enter to the fund at any time. eventhough same period 10 yrs. 1 weak diff can make diff in returns. and the unit price is very important during entering time because the unit price is not flate. the price is volitile, up and down.

for example.

investor A. enter when the price RM1.00

investor B. enter when the price RM0.90

sure both annualized returns not same, will be diff. and also the dividedns for A and B not same eventhough both invest RM10,000 respectively.

investor A
RM10,000 / RM1.00
= 10,000 units

investor B
RM10,000 / RM0.90
11,111 units.

if RM0.05 declare as divindeds.

investor A will get RM0.05 x 10,000 = RM500

and ,
investor B will get RM0.05 x 11,111 = RM555.55
RM10,000

and the fund itself has 100mil units
RM0.05 x 100mil = RM5mil
RM5mil will payout as dividedns to all the investors.

this apply for all funds.

conclusion.

the returns of the fund Z not nessasry same with investor A and B of FUND Z. unless both A and B enter to the fund from the first day.

i hope u understand this way.

which of the fund more invest in agricultural company?

reit ?

Updated announcement in the PM website ..

Funds not open for investment:



want to invest in PISSSF and PIOF ...

But wait till market shares more stable ...
I'm worried cos of US debt crisis instability, the prize of unit trust going to drop further ... like what happen last week ..

i thought market is recovering. time to move in.

I think bro Kiddoz's "problem" is the normal fear & greed - see which one of his feeling wins, then he will act

Normal reaction - market fall, fear it havent bottomed.
Market fall more, fear even more it hasnt bottomed
Market no movement after fall - fear it's dead
Market move up, fear it's bear run
Market move even MORE up, greed starts to come in, fear still there - inaction
Market bull run - greed/kiasu comes in and chase higher highs.
then Market goes down - oh crap!

Bro Kiddoz, U trading mutual funds ke?
If U've got yr planned execution of investments (asset allocation, filtered funds which i think U have, and entry/exit rules, sizing, etc), then go ahead and execute base on them lar.

My agent said that PSMALLCAP will declare distribution end of this month. Anybody can verify this?

Thank you.

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am an investor of Public funds. Recently, public imposed high switching fees, 0.75% to all monies switched in less than 90 days. This is a killing step to my profit taking moves. I am going to sell all my monies in Public. What do you think?

Bro - U can
a. NORMALLY take worthwhile profits
b. from an equity fund or more changgih, bond fund
c. within 90 days?

Changgih man

Can share your approach (selection, timing, entry & exit plans) pls?

BTW, Yup, i agree - PM really bad, impose extra cost if we switch our investments within 90 days.
BTW2 - not all are affected within 90days

see Bro BoneScythe's post http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1299169/+1634

BTW3 - U can checkout things like www.fundsupermart.com.my for lower service charges and stuff

Pls remember to share share how U manage to make worthwhile profits within 90 days yar Thanks in advance.

verified- correct.

if u sell back and enter again, u need to pay the SC. if the switching fee higher than SC. sell it. if not either u wait for 90 days or switch. whicever is benefit to u.

by the by how much ur profits within 90 days. >5.5%?

UT is usually a mid term (3 years) to long term (5 to 10 years) investment vehicle. If you are looking at profit taking <90days, then look elsewhere:

I) Play OSK KL-Tracker 1% in, 1% out.
II) Play stock market directly.. 0.73% in, 0.73% out

Good luck.

Xuzen

Direct KLSE stock market can cost lower than 0.55% in and another 0.55% out, even if T+3 and not contra / intra-day, with enough volume and graces from the security firm U using . Anyways, that bro will score here man if he can score in mutual funds within 90 days

hahaha ... Korrect3 ...like what VK Lingam said ... ...
let wait till next week ... how it goes ....

sometimes it difficult to decide .. it your hard earn money ... you would need to ensure that you invest in a profit-able unit trust ...
rather than dumping your money without proper plan ...
and end up ... you are actually 'saving pennies but losing dollars' instead ...

ya, its better to put money sikit sikit, rahter than lump sump.

edit, wrong place
