Anyone went to the FSM event at Menara Star last Saturday? The OSK guy intro a few award winning trust funds. The Emerging Market bond looks to have a good prospect. With China having slashed its interest rates recently, would this have an impact on the emerging markets such as Indonesia, Phillipines etc maybe following suit and slashing interest rates as well. Any comments?

Is it not good? They mention that the fund return is around 6% since its inception in January this year.

The recommended list for 2012/2013 will only be announced on 11 July. There will be more funds and fund houses this time around. Also got more categories, one of them is emerging markets.

I see. Kk thanks. Just wondering any factors which could cause the reduction in the emerging markets bonds return. If those countries do follow China's lead in cutting interest rates, then it can only be good for the bond market right?

Means buying now is not that good because its after China cut its interest rates? The nav has been dropping steadily for the past week or so.

OSK-UOB Emerging Market Bond. The OSK guy recommended another fund, OSK-UOB KidSave Trust which is a balanced fund.

The 1% sales charge promotion for recommended funds is ending tomorrow. Any funds which caught your eye? Planning to whack some into Kenanga Growth Fund

OSK-UOB Emerging Markets Bond Fund just announce another distribution today. That makes it the 3rd time this year. Is it a good sign?

What I meant is whether it is a good sign for the fund's performance. The fund's performance has somewhat stagnated for the past few months. You mentioned that the fund managers may increase the units in circulation to make it closer to the approved limit. Is there any correlation there or the fund managers are looking to employ another strategy?

I checked the thread out. So in short, it has no impact on current investors. Its probably they want to cheapen the NAV for marketing purposes.

I can see you and the other forumers' 'struggle' in that thread
