Wat percentage of bond portfolio is recommended at this volatile times?

Good choice
Beautiful !

Heheh - bro, i got a buddy believe "sky falling" since 2007 and until now "sky still falling" for him. Perma-bear fellow - sure to get it right 50% of the time but he missed out big on the 1st Qtr 2009 to 1st Qtr 2011 run. Of course, he also "missed out big" on the 2008 fall too :

IMHO - after a bout of fear, any spark of light may lead to irrational hopes. It doesnt mean that the causation of the fear has been resolved or that the sadness may end right there. Then again, human exuberance and short memory may triumph over an oncoming train as "the market" movements are usually made up of human emotions

First from distribution effect. Second comes from global equity sell down.

One day down doesn't mean anything. Let's wait and see.

Since the PBFI has closed, any other equvalent fund with similar low sales and service charge worth to invest?

I am conservative in term of investment...thanks all...

What drop so many? 

Any ideas when PBFI and other PM series bonds will reopen again?

Best Qs to ask yr salesman are:
a. What are U doing yourself now?
b. Can see your track record?
c. What is your entry & exit plans? Why like that?

I normally received some kinda fund quarterly review from public mutual. i guessed ur agent can provide you that report.

public mutual fund unit trust......trust ur on fund instead of put ur trust on other funds..unless u dont mind to allocate a fund for 10-20 years goin concern..

Asking the agents the question might not really help, you should instead write directly to the Public Mutual branches.

I had been in your case before, and that what I did is, I stopped ALL the DDI, switched my China funds to a local fund, and choosen distribution as payout. This is because DDI will incur service charges, and PM service charges are freaking high. DCA is a concept but because of the high service charges, you still lose out.

Another way out I would choose is, I will exit Public Mutual investment, if I see their funds keeps deteriorating in the next couple of months.

been DDI to PFA30F since august 2010 and now shows a negative 15% 

should i stop DDI in this fund ??
