U do the backward testing

IF u had remain invested before 2008-2011 crash

Would u be in profitable position now?

Hint: See how much Dow, S&P 500 at then vs now wink.gif
But a collapse this time may be the worst ever since the Great Depression. If it does indeed happen, not many would be able to ride out the downturn. Share prices will be the least of our concerns.

I invested into KGF and East Springs SC end July 2014 and my portfolio value has now dropped by about 15%. Ive also been looking at the Manulife India Equity Fund which seems to be doing well. Should i go for this?

Personally for you guys who have the idea of switching,  I think that it's a little late. Unless your fund is still at profitable level, switching may preserve some paper gain. Otherwise, I recommend for top up or ride through the storm. The good thing for unit trust is that fund manager may change strategy and change sector or asset allocation.

Just my two cents!
Yeah i think so too. Basically on paper, unless u sell now, uve not actually made a loss. So might as well ride out the storm. Unit trust investment was never meant to be short term anyway. Everything seems to be doom and gloom but maybe thats what's required before the next bull run? Similar case to what happened in 2007. Everybody was bailing out thinking world gonna end but then came the bull run which lasted well into 2013.

Im planning to dilute some of my holdings in Eastsprings Small Cap ino CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund for Asia Ex Japan and Manulife India Equity Fund for India exposure.

Do you think its a wise decision?

I think it's a good move.
Can i have your opinion as to why? Im more convinced about the Manulife India Equity fund but not so for the CIMB.

Go and check the performance of CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund .

On top of that, Asia ex Japan region has been highly recommended by FSM to concentrate for.

CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund is an absolute return fund which employs active management.
How about Manulife India Equity Fund?
