Yeah, I also remember.

The way I see it, the distribution serves 2 purposes now:
(1) Increase units in circulation, make it closer to the approved limit
(2) Distribute back some cash to unit holders, they're running out of good bonds to invest in

I know the exercise date is August 2012. Perhaps it just got approved and distributed later. I don't know just a guess.

Anyway doesn't concern me, u still remember our debate of the merits of distribution right?

Me too! I don't care about the distribution and I prefer capital appreciation over time.

Just topped up my OSK-UOB EMBF...today Asian equities rallying, bond prices under pressure...probably the last chance to buy before bond yields continue to drop when equities resume their downtrend...things don't look too rosy for equities for the short term

Bro.. u so much ammo left to top up lagi ka? Haha...

I always maintain cash buffer of about 25% of my portfolio in OSK-UOB Cash Management Fund to prepare for topping-up opportunities

Next 6 months would be global equities bargain shopping time

25% as cash? Mine barely 2-4% why u maintain such a high portion for cash? Opportunity cost for bond fund ler. That is why i treat my bond fund as cash.

Switching from bond to equity takes T+4 to be processed unless u are switching from within the same fund house.

Equities during volatile times can dip 1% today, 2% tomorrow, 1% the next and then rally 2-3% u know...
...with Cash Management Fund I can buy in on the same day.

And with net yield of 3%, what's there to complain?

Oh no wonder. Since i invest in the same fund house, i can buy directly without T+4 thingy

You invest anything in real estate or property? How is your asset allocation? Wanna compare accountant/finance background allocation with street investor like me.

Can we take out funds from EPF and put into the Cash Management Fund first ? Later only buy other funds in FSM ?

Me akauntan lesen "P" only lar

Only FDs and UTs, no REIT/property, yet.

UT allocation: 75% bonds 25% equities (abnormally high % in bonds cos just splurged on AmDynamic Bond )
My usual allocation is between 50/50 and 60/40

55% in Malaysian bonds
10% in Emerging Markets bonds
7% in Global bonds (overweight Asia)
10% in Emerging Markets equities
18% in Global Equities

NO Malaysian equity fund in my portfolio
