Hello everyone, I would like to get the public mutual fund price history. Any idea on this ?

Thanks a lot.

everyone redeemed their unit trusts ?

Mind not yet ...
one is Bond, MYR and equity ~ no idea see ~

Anyone can clarify that even though the sales charge mention is 5.5%,
but in reality its always deduct only RM 5.21 from RM 100, mean the sales charge only 5.21%

Is my calculation are wrong?

Usually I'll calculate the other way round.

Amount invested: I
NAV:
Buying price: NAV +5.5% = P

Unit bought: I/P

I bought PDSF　(Public Dividend select Fund) at Average price RM 0.32 half year ago. Now, is RM 0.27


Should I switch to BOND ? How to switch ? What BOND is recommendede.

Public Bond is closed

If you are losing, why should you switch? Instead you should be forming DCA now.

Is it the best time to buy UT now since the market is down? I have no UT investment at the moment, been thinking about buying for some time now. Please advise. Thanks.

It's like double edged sword.

First edge is to view current economic circumstance as an opportunity since market has been corrected for nearly 20% for the past two weeks. This could be buy low, sell high if market to be rebounced in near term (few months from now).

The edge will be never catching a falling knife as outlook is pretty negative and there'll be a chance that market will be corrected further due to various global economic concerns.

Weigh your risk and decision appropriately.

There're other bond funds like PSBF and PISBF.

Thanks David,
yes, I get correct calculation by your method, just something amiss on last cent.

I would like to understand, ppl would switch funds to bonds because they want to protect their investment. At difficult time like now, does it mean bond is better? If we bought at a good low price, should we consider to change to bond? When market is recovering., when switching back to fund, will we loose more? My friend says, ppl who keep switching between fund and bonds will end of day will not make a good profit. What's your opinion?

Because each switching costs money

One should consider to switch to bond fund in order to lock the profit (capital gain most likely) when equity fund NAV is high. When equity price is sliding, switching into bond fund may not be a good idea especially when your equity fund is incurring losses.

When market is down mood, bond fund will perform better than equity fund. Take US treasuries and bonds as a very good example, everybody is rushing into those safe haven and risk aversion assets which drive the 10-year and 30-year yield into record low!

Bond fund will offer conservative return; at least higher than 12-month FD.

I had a trouble understand the bold part, which I thought bond will perform better in correction mode.
Also, its 10 year and 30 year record low or record high?

Corrected. Down trend.

10-years and 30-years bond yield have been pushed to record low due to high demand from international investors:

10-years US bond at 2.125% and 30-years bond at 3.75% as of last Friday.

Sorry for the typo and confusion!
