Is the nav price a good indication of performance?I'm no financial guru, but it seemed that it does have some merits and a quick way in narrowing down the long list of Public/PB funds to invest. See below, the latest price list as at 30/01/2013. The rightmost figure is their percentage over a (presumed) debut price of RM0.25.

- PB Dynamic Allocation is not in the list as its debut nav price is RM1.00.
- those funds over rm0.50; they are over ten years old; local funds...steady growth over the years... maybe not performing well currently...
- those funds under rm0.20; better watch out even though they are on a steep rise currently; looks like they have not rebounded up with the benchmark since current share markets are at record high levels. When a nav price had fellen 50%, it will need to rise 100% to reach back its original level. Walking down is easier than walking up...
- those just below 0.25 to 0.40; this is the interesting segment to look into... it is a big segment, but it can be segregated down into local, foreign, public and/or pb funds...

Public SEA Select and PB Asean appeared not affected by the sharp drop in the local market on 21st with many of the local funds dropped 2% or more. And all of them, except Smallcap, Islamic Opportunities, and Strategic Smallcap, is in the negative for the month.
Now, which fund to select and hold for the next 3 months?
