Two markets are dragging the Asian equity.

Yen strengthening ---> affects Japan equity

AUD weakening ---> affects Australian equity

China may not be adding stimulus for short term gain in growth. ---> affects Shenzen, Shanghai and Hang Seng.

Four years ago, I invested in OSK-UOB Capital Protected ONE Advantage Fund through UOB. The fund matured on 7/6/2013 and when I called up to inquire about the redemption, I was told I will only get back my capital. This means the return is zero within this four years.

If I had kept my money in FD for 4 years, the compounded interest will be around 14.5%.

I am very dissapointed with how the fund was managed and it is hard to believe there is zero return and stock price has gone up, properties has gone up and how can the unit trust not making any profit?

Has anyone encounter such predicatement ?
The OSK-UOB Capital Protected ONE Advantage Fund has maturity date (4 years duration) and I suppose the one that you invested doesn't have a maturity date.

For that matter, I would recommend Public Mutual. I had invested in Public Mutual Public Equity fund in 2005 and it gave a return of 80% when I redeem it at the beginning of this year.

There could be something not right with the UOB fund managers. Other funds are giving reasonable returns and not UOB. sigh !

Did they explain why since the fund has matured?

No explanation given. Anyway, whatever explantion they give, I don't think we can challenge them. They would probably ask us to fall back to the prospectus and agreement.

Just that I am wondering how come they can't earn some returns within this 4 years after the 2008 stock market meltdown ???

And just to warn other of the risk of no returns if investing in this kind of funds. Probably UOB trained their sales people to be very convincing and hoodwinking people to invest in their funds.

Based on the price on 7 June 2013:

OSK-UOB Capital Protected One Advantage Fund | 1.0270

Let's say you bought it during IPO with NAV of 1.0000

The simple ROI is 2.7%. Deducting off the SC of 5%

You actually lost 2.3%

The NAV on 10 June 2013 is set to 0.0000

Meaning the fund should have matured and no longer in operation. I'm not sure how they're going to "close" properly. Whether they achieved the fund objective or not?

@gark, great analysis and explanation! thumbup.gif

That's why I never trust saving plan and complicated structured investment vehicle that needs commitment of X numbers of years.

Hello sifus,

I have a question to ask. I just found out that my grandparents bought some funds from CIMB. Now it's already 8 years, lol...overall, it's making money (inflation not counted) cuz I see the ROI stated is more than 50% for each of them.
Do you think I should ask them to continue to hold or should sell already? These two funds are CIMB Principal Equity Income Fund and TA Income Fund.

I asked the RM and she said for the latter, she's seeing a slow down. And the first one is risky type. Her advise is to sell, or rather, okay to sell if we want.
I'm not familiar at all, so any feedbacks are appreciated.

Thanks!

CIMB Principal Equity Income Fund is a high risk fund as it has a mandate to invest 50% locally and 50% in Asia ex Japan.

Details: http://www.cimb-principal.com.my/fund_pdf/...und_MYR_FFS.pdf

Average annualized return from your simple ROI could be in the range of 6 to 7%.

The fund is doing pretty well except in 2011.

The 2nd fund is kind of mixed. Up to today, it hasn't reach its IPO NAV which I believe to be 0.5000

Details: http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/admin...heetMYTAICF.pdf

The fund is invested 50% in local equity and 50% in local fixed income instruments. It's a balanced fund.

If I were you, I rather sell the TA fund.

Anyone out there had invested in OSK-UOB Capital Protected One Advantage Fund which had just matured on 7/6/13 after 4 years.

On the final week of 7/6/2013, the price drop from 1.1082 to 1.0270. This is the biggest weekly price drop.

I am very suspicious that the price might have been  manipulated, causing losses to the investors who had bought the fund at 1.05 inclusive of service tax.

Do I have a case to complain to the relevant authority ? And hope to get them to investigate the matter with the bank ?

Please advise, anyone ???

You can file a complain to Securities Commission (SC).

Hi all,

A newbie here... I've heard about a regular savings fund.
I was wondering how it works. I heard you'll need RM1k to open an account and then you can save RM100 each month.

I'm just curious how can we transfer the money to the account?

Hope to be enlighten.

Thanks.

Saving plan is only for those who can't save money. It's a forced saving. Saving plan usually has a maturity period to adhere to. Check out the details first before committing for it.

Usually they'll ask you to sign up for auto debit or direct debit instruction.

Bond has its own risks:

1. Interest rate risk
2. Default risk
3. Rating risk (upgrade/downgrade)
4. Forex risk (if invest overseas)

Hmm, in this case...prolly I shouldn't go for it, huh hmm.gif The other consideration to me is, even if they pay out at 4.5% at the least, it doesn't seem like it's worth holding on 3 years period for that % of returns. Seems kinda low to me, especially with other uncertainties.

The reason why I was considering this is, I haven't tried buying bonds before. So, I thought of starting somewhere, but don't know which ones are the good types or maybe none are, lol

Generally, for a bond fund, they'll reserve a small portion of cash reserve for liquidity purpose - up to 5% of the fund reserve

It's meant for redemption purpose.

Of course it's different. FSM promises SC as low as of 2% for equity funds and 0% for bond funds (majority of them).
