I thought you got it cheaper than me?

Or did you topped up subsequently?

Mine profit/total cost = 10.5%

Nice

I'll top up AQ when the NAV price drops. Most probably buying in a new GEM equity fund soon. Need to have more risk exposure in equity.

In a hindsight, I'd be just slightly better off had I remain invested and keep DCA in.

Some are sold, Hwang funds (Global Property, Select Opportunity, Global Emerging Markets) are all switched to Hwang Select Income.

I switched to MM when my profit dropped by 20%. I'm glad I did as switching back to equity when they are cheap made me a tiny fortune then.

Morever, since managing the funds by myself online is a must for me, is it a good idea to open an account with fundsupermart? Does it allow to buy/sell entirely online? I saw it offers option to pay by CIMB Click so it satisfies my needs.

My view:

1. Lack of info on underlying securities
- Annual/Interim Report - most, if not all feeder funds do not disclose any info on the underlying securities of the Target Fund. Investors can only see something like this - "98% in XYZ Global Fund, 2% in Cash & Cash Equivalents". If u wanna know the underlying securities, you would have to dig the Annual/Interim Report of the Target Fund.
- Monthly Fact Sheet - some use extracts of the Target Fund's Monthly Fact Sheet, while some do the same as above - "98% in XYZ Global Fund, 2% in Cash & Cash Equivalents"

2. Higher expenses for nothing
E.g. the Target Fund charges 1.5% Management Fee while the Feeder Fund charges 1.8%. U incur the additional 0.3% for having a Fund Manager who does practically nothing to add value to the unitholders.

hehehe...that why i m cash ready to wait for Hwang Asia Quantum kapom then only buy....wait hold wait hold...self control...

Pinky, to be clear, i am go into FSM with bond fund first. I hv "a lot" equity fund in PM that balance up my portfolio.

ALL funds in my portfolio be it equity or emerging markets bond dropped yesterday with the exception of AmDynamic Bond

and I remember u said u want dispose off some of AmDy

Pink, thanks for your reply in the FSM thread! Would appreciate some advice from anyone here on my portfolio.

Currently I have:

Hwang Select Income Fund
OSK-UOB Asian Income Fund
Templeton Global Total Return Fund (Global Bond)

Am thinking of adding in Hwang Asia Quantum Fund, Pacific Global Stars, and

either AmAsia Pacific REITs OR AmGlobal Property Equities Fund (which one is better?)

Btw I already have local bond funds in PM.

Would appreciate advice on the funds I have picked or any other recommendation on other funds

Thanks soo much!
