Also, no point to update, cos if u take ur UNITS HELD x NAV now, it does not reflect your holdings value at all. Might as well freeze the NAV until distribution payment/crediting date.

Guys.. anybody experience before transferring all other funds from other distributor to Fundsupermart? Thinking of doing it..

Why not u be the 1st one to do so and let us know how it's like?

What fund(s) u wanna transfer into FSM?

Astro IPO o IGB Reit IPO better? What do you guy think?

apples (reits) and carrots (normal stocks) leh

REITs are forced to payout >=90% profits (pls correct if this has changed) as dividends
VS
Stocks (exREITs) are not forced and thus, main profits from them are the growth and hopefully market price, which are unaccessable until U harvest and sell

Would one buy a drill to hammer in a nail
OR a hammer to chop down a tree?
Sorry ar - it's just so obvious which is better - it DEPENDS on your objective
If one's objectives and timeline ALSO not clear, better re-plan your investment approach / strategies.

Hahaha i knew that i was not compare apple to apple..but my objective is to maximize my profit and choose best potential IPO. lolx

Planning to switch all my OSKUOB funds (now buying through UOB bank) to Fundsupermart. Will consider that after I made my first switching in the OSKUOB fund (which is FOC for first 2 switches). After that, they will charge sales charge 3% when do switching..

OSK-UOB to increase Asian Income Fund size

Dave, your holdings in OSK-UOB EMBF in the black, or got into red already?

Mine still holding on at 2%+

Equities still going strong...though showing a bit running out of steam...tomorrow another drop for EM bonds I foresee...cos Brazilian bonds going down

-2.09% including 1% service charge as of yesterday NAV.

Dunno why I've this feeling that this scenario could also happen to AmAsia Pacific REITs which went up 20% in just 1 year

yesterday i meet a personal banker in UOB bank. He strongly recommended this fund [OSK-UOB ASIA CONSUMER FUND] and its strong fund manager to me. He claimed that distribution about 8%+ just given past two weeks. Anybody got the idea?

PINKY!! Another "distribution"-connedfused fellow here!

Sorry, my bad sir.
Saw yr agent/bank fellow stating "8% distribution" as an enticement and thought that was one of the major reasons U are checking that fund out

He more emphasize on his fund manager, Paul Ho. say got world ranking lagi.
Just wondering OSK-UOB got so many fund why he just strongly recommend me for this fund. So wanna check out any bro here got this fund in their portfolio?

The investment theme seems logical...focus on companies that could benefit from rise of consumerism in Asia. But it doesn't invest in Japanese companies...all those carmakers, Sony, Panasonic etc beyond their mandate.

IMHO, it doesn't matter much who the fund manager is, more importantly the fund's performance for 3, 5 and 10 years - "proof of the pudding is in the eating".

Since U know where/how to search in FundSupermart, I tried searching for it in:
a. Lippers Leaders: http://www.lipperleaders.com/ = elek but found some other OSK-OUB funds
b. Morningstar: http://my.morningstar.com/ap/fundselect/results.aspx = not rated
