Pink Spider,

While past performance is a poor predictor of future returns, there are other factors that we can use to increase our odds of finding a good fund (Such as lower standard variation, high sharpe ratio, low  frequent stocks trade, and stock-picking skills). As we’ve already seen, yesterday’s winners often become tomorrow’s losers. But researchers have shown that one thing is almost certain: Yesterday’s losers almost never become tomorrow’s winners.

And what's your problem with saying my calculation is flawed? Are you a human being who like to say error or mistake in other untactful? The idea to share knowledge to us in forum is for us to benefit everyone in picking some of the top fund - be it OSK Kidsave Trust, Areqa Fund or Kenanga Fund series.

FUND PERFORMANCE (BID TO BID CUMULATIVE RETURNS)for Kenanga Growth Fund:

2 years: 52.3 = 26.2

3 years: 89.8 = 29.9

5 years: 81.9 = 16.38

10 years: 244.1 = 24.41

Average roughly around 24.2.
Kenanga fund buys planters, consumer stocks
Malaysia’s best-performing fund in the past year is buying consumer and plantation stocks that are benefiting from government efforts to bolster domestic growth and a rally in palm oil prices.

Kenanga Growth Fund, with assets of RM59 million (US$19 million) as of March 31, favors companies including Dutch Lady Milk Industries Bhd and Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd, Chen Fan Fai, investment director at Kenanga Investors Bhd, said in an interview in Kuala Lumpur on April 23. The fund beat 370 other Malaysian equity mutual funds in the past year with an 18 percent return, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Dutch Lady has doubled in the past year, outpacing the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index’s 3.9 percent gain.

Gauges of consumer and plantation stocks are the best performers of 10 industry groups on the Malaysian bourse in the past year on optimism Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 2012 budget plan to distribute cash to low-income families, raise wages for civil servants and boost spending on transportation will bolster growth and consumption. Palm-oil futures have surged 9.2 percent this year and hit a 13-month high on April 10.

“Consumer stocks have done well because they are more resilient in any downturn and the government’s drive to boost income levels will also be positive for consumption,” Chen said. “We have always liked plantation stocks because demand for crude palm oil is ever on the rise.”

The Kenanga Growth Fund beat 97 percent of its peers in the past three years and 98 percent of them over five years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It was named Malaysia’s best equity fund in 2011 by Morningstar Inc. Chen said he’s willing to buy stocks even before an election that Najib may call as early as June, according to four government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity last month.

Concern a poor election result for Najib would disrupt the government’s spending plans has limited the KLCI index’s gain to 3.4 percent this year, the second-worst performance among Asia- Pacific benchmark indexes after Sri Lanka, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The MSCI Emerging-Markets Index has risen 10 percent in 2012.

Investors will probably be wary of the stock market before the polls, Tan Ting Min, an analyst at the Malaysian unit of Credit Suisse Group AG, wrote in a report dated March 7.

“Investors don’t like uncertainties,” said Kenanga’s Chen. “Uncertainties can be positive or negative. The outcome is not certain so nobody knows which way it’s going to go. We take a view that there is not going to be a change in the government.”

Gains by Malaysian consumer stocks pushed valuations relative to the Bloomberg World Consumer Non Cyclical Index to a four-month high on April 13. The Bursa Malaysia Consumer Index of 136 stocks, which includes carmakers Tan Chong Motor Holdings Bhd. and Proton Holdings Bhd, has rallied 11 percent in the past 12 months, outpacing a 3.9 percent gain in the KLCI index. The Selangor state-based Nestle Malaysia, the local unit of the world’s biggest food company, has advanced 16 percent.

“We focus more on consumption,” Chen said. “Sector-wise, that’s probably our biggest bet.”

Southeast Asia’s third-biggest economy may expand 4.2 percent in 2012 on domestic demand, thanks to increased private investment and state spending, the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research, a partly government-funded institute, said in a statement on April 17. The body earlier estimated 3.7 percent growth. This is in line with the central bank’s revised forecast of 4 percent to 5 percent on March 22.

Najib unveiled economic and government transformation plans in 2010 and identified $444 billion of private sector-led projects this decade to bolster growth and achieve high-income status by 2020.

The Bursa Malaysia Plantation Index of 43 members including IOI Corp and Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd has surged 15 percent in the past year. The plantation measure trades at 13.9 times estimated profit, compared with a record-low 6.25 times in October 2008, weekly data compiled by Bloomberg shows.

Palm oil will advance to RM3,800 a metric ton in Kuala Lumpur by Dec. 31, the highest level since February 2011, according to the median of 11 analyst and trader estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Palm oil futures fell as much as 0.8 percent to RM3,448 a metric ton yesterday.

“Palm oil prices have been firmer than expected,” Chen said. “The offshoot of this will be higher income for families in the rural area who are involved in agriculture. This will also give a boost to consumption.” -- Bloomberg

should read bro.. I started to learn from LYN as well. Not even 2 yrs in investing. Some regret though on why I didnt start earlier. If I started since I started working, at least I will have more money by now (if I invest correctly la). But still better than chasing those gadgets and fashion right? If lose, just treat it as paying money for learning to investing. Least got hope to retire comfortably and kids have better life la..

Pandaeyess

My opinion is you already have the ammo/bullets as a start. Abit of studying and understanding investment stuff, you are ready to go to grow them.. just dont go into TRADING.

Do investment and look for longer term objectives. But if you like the thrill of trading, maybe can set aside some smaller $$ to do it.. if you managed to earn big, treat it as bonus (and keep the profit amount to do investment). If lose, treat it as study fees..

Thanks bro for your explanation. For the last part of your sentence, you mention if someone go for FD is because they have good management in controlling outflow and inflow of cash?

Yes, I didn't do any study regarding investment which leads me to loss I think but I kinda feel boring reading all those stuff but maybe will change mind in the future.

Anyway, any advice for me? Actually I missed out one more expenses. Phone installment for gf cost rm 85 and installment for medical card cost rm 50 a month. Can help me recaculate and what I should do now with existing FD

Thanks!!

You don't have car loan or house loan or rental commitment?

Can share when you invest in unit trust? When sell them? Which particular fund?

So a 24 year old should have approximately 20 000 min in savings. That's relatively lower than the nation average. I guess most people are in loan debt.

you already have more than 20K at 24?

I dont even have 5K that time... haha

I plan to buy unit trust from public bank with a start up of 5k n then top up rm100 every month....
i am 22 this year and have a loan of 48k from ptptn....
i hope to increase the top up when i working in the future...
anyone think that tis investment is good??thanks

If you are planning to look into longer term investment, means this moneis are not intend to use for say >5 yrs. Then I would say, go ahead as it most probably will give you better returns than FD (depending which fund you buy also la). Good because you are trying to discipline yourself to save RM100 every month!

Straight forward and no need to be genius to learn UT investing. You can then learn other investing vehicle and decide next time if UT is your cup of tea.

Why do people equate eating cheap with starving? I don't understand.

I eat cheap but I definitely eat healthy.  In fact every day I have vegetables and protein in my diet.  I also eat high fibre bread and have fruits every other day.  The only difference : I cook.

My monthly food bill for 2 is less than RM450. My daughter takes food like tuna sandwiches, egg sandwiches, roast chicken sandwiches and even sushi to school. All homemade, healthy and cheap.
