Dude, it's till 6pm.

It worse than a lecture!

Reporting live from Eastin Hotel Penang

Boring.

Dennis Tan presentation needs to brush more.

Now is AMB presentation on unit trusts 101.

Placed an order for Aberdeen World Equity fund.

Collected all stamps from all participating booths.

Lucky draw starts at 5.30pm and one must be present by himself during the draw.

You can do it at FSM booth or at home. They said that they'll adjust the service charge later.

I'm not sure how are they going to track this. Perhaps through registration at the front desk.

Maybe they mean for the order placement can done at home but you need to attend the event by confirming your attendance at the front desk.

Both are Islamic based.

Arcea speaker is expecting a correction in local market till February or GE13.

2013 theme: Asia ex Japan, North Asia and ASEAN.

Yes. Still sticking here. Guess will just wait till end of the event.

Not much computers; 2 - 3 only

1 counter for lucky draw, 1 for account opening, 1 for PRS related

Talked to the one of Aberdeen researcher. He mentioned that the world equity fund is a new setup and won't be a proxy to the Singapore sister fund.

If my ear and mind were still clear, I heard MYR 3k in the cash management fund.

Sorry bro. I didn't do that much depth research.

Well, the speaker may share something confidential which may not available in the website.

Next, it benefits lazy reader like me as the speaker may just highlight key point form since there's a time constraint.

Seminar ended. Waiting for lucky draw.

They're disturbing the last half magazine as the door gift.

No luck!

1st prize: 1.5k
2nd prize: 1k
3rd prize: 500

Perhaps different pricing for KL:

1st prize: 3k
2nd prize: 2k
3rd prize: 1k

Total in Penang: RM 3k, in KL: RM 6k ---> Grand total: RM 9k, short RM 1k

Placed an order for the Aberdeen Islamic World Equity fund. Payment will be made tomorrow.

Two fund houses were not here.

Freebie from Aberdeen.

I told them I bought their fund and they gave all these freebies. Sorry the umbrella is in the car.

The 4 things are not boxes.

They're sticky note stripes and notepad.

My guess is that they just mirroring the portfolio from the sister fund in Singapore.

Actually I have no use of all those freebies - tearable notepad/sticker/post it (whatever you want it), pens, calendars, exercise book size notebook/planners, recyclable bags

The main reason is that I don't really use them.

To be frank, I seldom use pen nowadays except to really take notes during meeting or signature some papers.

Pencils are more rare.

Umbrella comes handy because one of my umbrella is damaged.

I have a S3 but I haven't fully utilize for notes jotting and etc to replace paper notes/pencils.

Back to the seminar, the conclusion that I could draw is one word: CHINA

All fund houses are pretty bullish on CHINA.
