Old yesterday news:

Emerging market sell-off, FBM KLCI down 16 points

PETALING JAYA: Shares on Bursa Malaysia declined by almost 16 points, tracking an emerging market sell-off of stocks and bonds, as global investors turned cautious ahead of US jobs report to be released today.

Worries about weakening growth in China along with Greece’s debt woes were also weighing on the sentiment.

The ringgit fell the most in three weeks to 3.5942 against the US dollar, as Bank Negara kept interest rates unchanged after a policy meeting yesterday.

OT: Deutsche Bank to exit Kenanga, Tokai Tokyo enters

PETALING JAYA: Deutsche Bank AG is divesting its 13.84% stake in Malaysia’s largest independent investment bank, K&N Kenanga Holdings Bhd, with the first block of 4.9% being sold to Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings Inc.

Islamic mutual funds are growing again after a slump that lasted years, but the sector still falls short of meeting demand for sharia-compliant investment products, a study by Thomson Reuters and its subsidiary Lipper showed on Tuesday.

Many firms pulled out of the sector around 2008 because of the global financial crisis and as sliding equity markets reduced investor interest.

Islamic mutual funds globally now hold $53.2 billion of assets under management, recovering from a low of $25.7 billion in 2008, the study found.

Could anyone tell me whether investing in 1 fund with certain amount or 2 different fund with split amount, which one is preferable and advisable? why?

For example :

RM2000 in Kenanga Growth Fund as initial investment

or

RM1000 in Kenanga Growth Fund and RM1000 in eastspring small cap fund.



As what I understand, diversify in different fund helps to spread the risk in case 1 of the fund is facing losses.


Thanks.

Diversification is important to minimize specific risk such as country, industry and regional risk. So adding another fund of different investment geography is recommended such as Asia ex-Japan as stated by some of the members.

Nevertheless, I think what you need to do is retrace back the objective of your investment. If you want high returns but don't mind swallowing the short-term risk, you can go for both equities. But if you don't mind to settle for lower returns as long as you don't face excessive lost (especially in short-term), adding a bond fund into your investment is not such a bad idea. Even better is being more specific with your objective like obtaining 8% return per year for example, then use past performance of funds you have to project the potential return of your portfolio.

In my opinion also, once you build up more capital, try to diversify even more and add bond funds from 10-40% of your portfolio base on your risk tolerance. Having just 2 funds in your portfolio is not enough to diversify.
