Dear Investors,

Do you have any ideas why Kenanga Syariah Growth Fund Designated Manager was changed, from Mr. Chen Fan Fai to Chung Yee Wah? Who is this Chung Yee Wah? Is his stock-picking stratey coherent with Mr. Chen Fan Fai?

Thanks Dave

Been waiting for this for few weeks already.. Hehe

Sorry guys! I thought somebody will be initiating a new thread and usually people compete for it.

I don't want to open this thread because I have opened the previous version.

Good checked in. Looking forward to gain knowledge and share point of view here

wow i notice that china's unit trust fund is on the rise while our local unit trust fund is on going down. any tot?

Dont have china funds.. so not so sure. Local, yea.. been eating bit by bit my profit each day since 2 weeks ago...

me too, my both fund also local one

I just hope it will not eat until become negative until GE next year la... As whole portfolio, mainly being backup by bond fund. But trend is still downtrend...

'luckily' has been keeping bullet in cash for some time already. gotta buy more units during GE time.
what fund u have? mine is regular saving and islamic dividend.

I got too many funds... haha, but I hv decided to consolidate into only few funds to focus. You know la, last time PM agent as me to buy this buy that, so buy lo. Also OSKUOB officer ask buy this and that, hence got few funds also. So once I consolidate in to FSM, I will slowly focus on;

1) 3 Local funds (2 Equity + 1 Bond) (Kenanga Growth + AMB Dividend + AmDynamic)
2) 1 Asia ex-Jepun fund (Hwang Asia Quantum)
3) 1 GEM Fund (not yet decide)
4) 2 Alternative asset funds (OSK Gold and General + Energy)
5) 1 REIT fund (AmAsia PAC Reits)

Above just my direction, may change as well on the fund selection. But AmDynamic + Gold and General + Energy + AmAsia PAC Reits already got la.

What is your plan?

plan? haha, can't switch to protect it already. last time 'simple' switch too often, eat up my switching fee...

plan is only to reload during GE time, heard is next year feb or march like that...has not been reloading for very long time from my epf account 1, so can reload more

You are buying from PM right? Own agent?

Ya mine is all public mutual. No la, bot from my agent.

Intra switching with FSM is free

Only last week I switched out all my holdings in Eastspring Investments Global Leaders MY Fund, which invests in global "leading" companies and overweight US and Japan. The fund has been underperforming for a few years already, and the expense ratio has been quite high. Bad timing, turns out that US equities still got some upside to go.

Half went to Eastspring Investments GEM Fund and half to Eastspring Investments Equity Income Fund (a Malaysia dividend fund, one of the better equity fund, losing out only to Kenanga Growth, AMB Dividend, Hwang Select Dividend and Hwang Select Opportunity).

Aiming Pacific Global Stars Fund next to boost up my global equities exposure.

you got china unit trust fund or not now? should we switch from local to china fund?

AFAIK, under FSM, only OSK-UOB charges switching fee, the rest are all free. Please go FSM website to find out more details.

I got no China fund, but I got a GEM equities fund which has heavy exposure to HK/China.

For long-term growth, yes I do think that now is quite a good time to start accumulating funds investing in China. But Hang Seng index has been strong lately, so u have to find out whether the fund(s) invest in China stocks listed in HK, or Shanghai-listed stocks.

oh thanks for the info.
maybe now is the 'right time' for this hang seng to bloom

KLCI still on downtrend even though Asian markets are going strong. No wonder many say that KLCI is a rigged market.

If it drops below 1,600, I might be topping up on my Malaysian dividend fund.
