Never studied ASEAN funds

Later tonite free baru tengok

China funds high risk and it sucks.Will lurk moar there..
Btw, the buying charges are 1% for most funds right?

Only recommended funds under this list at http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...?articleNo=2504

The rest is still 2% top!

David, in the meantime why not consider Pheim Asia Ex-Japan (both the conventional and the Shariah-compliant one)...though the name is "Asia Ex-Japan", they're ASEAN-overweight.

My company invested some money with Pheim...they're crazy market beaters I tell u...

Will take note on that and analyze it tonight.

How much did you bought it? Im not FSM member, so thought wanna buy 1

*well unless got people kind enough to mail me the free 1 hahaha

RM 12 per copy

I have searched in the FAQ and other parts but i cant find if there would be any charge for selling of funds.

Look harder

Charges are listed on the page of the fund itself...e.g.

http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/fundi...number=MYOSKEMB

scroll down for "FUND CHARGES"

I saw that but under Fund Charges there are 5 fields:
1)Fundsupermart's Discounted Initial Sales Charge,
2)Annual Management Charge,
3)Trustee Fee
4)Other Significant Fees
5)Annual Expense Ratio

Which one?

Whne you're buying the fund, the first one matters. The fourth is just additional clause to take note if there's any. The rest is transparent to you and being included in the daily NAV calculation.

From its fund factsheet, PHEIM ASIA EX-JAPAN has big chuck in Far East - HK/China (26.5%), Taiwan (14.45%), Korea (10.84%).

I don't think this fund suits me for ASEAN region.

Only (1) concerns u, the others are calculated and reflected in the NAV valuation...i.e. u "incur" those without u knowing it.

E.g. u wanna buy RM1,000 worth of Fund ABC, Fund ABC SC = 2%, so u have to invest/pay RM1,000 + 2% = RM1,020

Oh,that i know, what i meant was me selling my funds back to the fund manager.

Under significant fees will highlight if exit fee incurred or min holding period.

So quiet suddenly?

Everybody read this article from FSM website: Top Equity Funds 2Q 2012: Malaysia Funds Held Up Well?

URL: http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...?articleNo=2518

U know, I know, everyone in Malaysia knows...we have EPF, PNB, LTAT etc and so many institutional investors holding it up

But the article doesn't actually focus for Malaysian equity even though the article title is quite confusing.

I plan to add a REIT fund to my portfolio. What you think?

No REIT fund attracted my interest except for Alliance Global Diversified Property Fund...the rest mostly focused in Asia...

...which one attracted u?

AmAsia Pacific that mainly invests in Australia and Singapore REITs.
