Kenanga is confident that their funds could sustain high volatility in KLCI and less prone to that based on the strategy they employed.

Maybe you could buy some now.

AmAsia Pacific REIT was on promotion previously somewhen during December 2012 I think.

That's why it's no longer under promotion.

On top of that, I remembered that FSM did caution on REIT as well.

@Hevrn: 7 funds in a row.

My portfolio is very diversified:

PSEASF - 16%
PSMALLCAP - 15%
PAIF - 14%
OSK EMB - 9%
AmDynamic - 10%
AmAsiaPacific REIT - 10%
PFES - 8%
CIMB Australia - 8%
Aberdeen World Equity - 10%

Asset class allocation: Equity - 71% , Bond - 19% , REIT - 10%

Region allocation: World - 10%, Asia Pacific ex Japan - 24%, Emerging Market - 9%, Greater China - 8%, ASEAN - 16%, Australia - 8%, Malaysia - 25%

I don't calculate IRR as I don't really understand IRR concept. Overall portfolio paper gain is 13.11% including Aberdeen World.

Equity allocation is used to be much higher than current. 100% in equity.

Sorry no such calculation made. I need some time to understand the IRR concept.

No. It's all manual in the spreadsheet.

So anybody heads for Pacific Global Stars Fund?

How about HWANG SELECT ASIA (EX JAPAN) OPPORTUNITY FUND?

I noticed that HWANG ASIA QUANTUM FUND has 25% exposure in Malaysia even though it's an Asia Ex Japan fund.

Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund and Kenanga Growth Fund are good funds and they're Kenanga strong product.

AmBond Islam should be comparable to AmBond and AmInvestment is pretty strong in bond market.

AmAsia Pacific REIT declares distribution:

AmAsia Pacific REITs | RM 0.017 per unit | 05-Mar-2013

How much loss you suffered in %?

Quite painful! Sorry bro!

2008 was the financial tsunami kicks off from US subprime mortgage burst

2011 should be US AAA stripe off if I'm not mistaken

2010 could be Eurozone Greece problem.

But 2012 didn't have huge slump like in 2010 and 2011 whereby DJIA could lose 500 points in one night!

North Korea nuclear stubbornness

South Korea house passed a law to fire a missile to NK dictator palace if necessary!

China-Japan-Korea war!

Revisiting The Investment Case For Small Caps

1. Smaller capitalisation companies often escape the attention of investors, even though there are various benefits to be had by complementing larger cap equity exposure with smaller cap funds.
2. It is more plausible for a smaller company which has a negligible market share to grow its revenues by double digits each year, which could lead to a doubling or tripling of profits over a shorter period of time.
3. Smaller cap stocks can offer substantial scope for mispricing, since they generally garner less interest, particularly so from the likes of stock analysts
4. For investors in smaller companies, the valuation expansion (another component of stock market returns) can sometimes come a lot more quickly when a company is being acquired.
5. While the bulk of a portfolio should still consist of funds invested in larger-cap companies, investors may wish to consider adding some smaller-capitalisation exposure in the supplementary/satellite portion of their portfolios

I have one Malaysian small cap in my portfolio. Maybe not going to focus in Malaysia.
