Good advice, i also hv PCSF.

Topup every month 2007-2009. Oncer breakeven switch to other fund.
Now left left rm1k++, waiting for miracle.

In my amateur and non-professional opinion, I don't think it is as easy as that. It's like on a race track, asking for tips - and the tips is only good for that race.

There's no shortcut if we want to pick winners every weekend without knowing a bit of the background of the horses and their past performances.

This analogy at the race track is still not closed enough, try imagining that you are the jockey and have to ride the horse too... we then have to match your size and weight and riding skills to the appropriate horse with its individual temperament as well.

Get the picture of the task at hand?

The best I can contribute here is a short brief on the funds you're having.
PSBF - Public Select Bond Fund
PEBF - Public Enhanced Bond Fund
PIEBF - Public Islamic Enhanced Bond Fund
PCSF - Public China Select Fund
PITTIKAL - Public Ittikal Fund

The 1st bond fund is closed for new investments and only open to investment via EPF. If you switched out, you cannot switch back in if it is not an EPF investment.

The 2nd and 3rd bond funds are special bond funds with up to 30% of the fund can be invested in equities by the fund manager. If not mistaken, they are also more or less also closed to new investments since you now need at least 100k to enter.

China Select - what more can be we say here, it is a stupid fund for stupid people like me - I lost money too, like 40% of what I put in.

So far this year, it is up 2.14%, but dropped a bit this month... and maybe a bit more today with Hang Seng Index down -1.02% and the H-Share (or Hang Seng China Enterprise) -1.79%. It is performing, since 1st Jan, better than China Titan Fund; and better than China Ittikal Fund which is in negative zone. (Slow horse is okay but if running backwards, how to win the race if it cannot reach the finish line?)

Public Ittikal - this fund is also closed except for investment via EPF. Not among the top local horses in 2012, but still gave an increment of 13% for the year. It is categorised by Public Mutual as a moderate fund. Personally, I would prefer Islamic Dividend Fund which is similarly categorised as a moderate fund.

Cheers... happy investing!

thnx for the tips. I suppose u mean Domestic Direct Investment? I will read up on it

haha thnx..

Just a question on fund history, is it got happen that fund will close? Or will continue go on forever? Cos many new fund opening up at the end market will be full of funds? Maybe after 30 yrs then the fund will close?

Far east property the fund consider still new and cant judge the history yet right? It less than 10 yrs

David, I think he din mean closed as "not open for investment", it should be the fund is total end of business, or something like that.

ya ya.. i mean like long history funds lessay 30 yrs maybe they 1 to "obsolete" the fund??

Or else the market gonna be flooded wif thousands of funds?

Got such thing?

This one normally to the fund that is not performing well, right?
Changing fund objective in order it can go into different market/sector etc.

Thanks for all the info!

Yep really regret purchasing PCSF, but was young and stupid that time and just listen to the consultant. Now waiting for even a small miracle so that I can recover at least some of my losses.

You guys think its a smart idea to switch out half or all of my PITTIKAL units to other UT?

I'm thinking to change to equity fund by other fund house- either Hwang or kenanga. I have enough bond funds already

Wise to redeem all of PITTIKAL? Or should keep some?

Sifu here, how to sell the Public Mutual fund thru Public Mutual online login? 

Did that 5 years ago i think with PCSF, made some profits. But i have friends who did not sell till today and were at a loss. Dont think its a good idea to go into China's market.

You simply tembak or?

Someone said PM is jaguh kampung, they don't do well with other regions. Would think twice to diversify in PM 

Err, I did make a profit from PCSF. Read properly 

I have made a repurchase before Chinese New year into interbank transfer (bank islam). Until today dint receive it in my bank islam. How long does it take for the money to get through?

"JPB, which fund is the 14%?"

Hi Pink,
Public Indonesia Select Fund

But I don't like this horse... too fast for me, beginner rider... a slower horse fit me just nice; which I mentioned several times in previous posts.
