Latest portfolio update

pink spider,

Nice, counting money every weekend

All are unrealised paper gain only, I bukannya macam Dividend Warrior every 1-2 months got dividend masuk bank

you can opt the distribution in cash form, dont need to reinvest.

Prefer to let money grow money. Distribution in cash will only happen upon retirement

Good Planning

+1

No problem. This is probably my only free time of the year. Gotta update all my top up holdings in my work sheet.

Pink, I wonder why you still hold on to PGS. Even without it, I believe it doesn't have any significant impact to your portfolio in terms of geographical exposure. Yes/no?

Bought into PGSF just a few months ago, too short a timeframe to judge it. I bought it mainly to boost my exposure to Australia, Singapore, HK and (a bit on) US. My main global fund is OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield, PGSF serves as a "support" global fund in case OUGEY fail to deliver.

Dumping an underperforming fund too soon was a mistake I committed a few years ago with Alliance Global Equities and Eastspring Investments Global Emerging Markets. See how they rallied since 2010?

Will not repeat that mistake again.

guess i found the reason ..but it is a bit late..i went into it alredy

taken from FSM 7 Jan 2013 writing
"As for RHB Bond Fund, the manager engages in active trading to generate returns for investors, as evident from the frequent changes in the fund’s top holdings. For example, its largest allocation was in Tanjung Bin Energy Issuer Berhad at 18.20% of the fund’s net asset value (NAV) in end-Jun 2012 before being replaced by Kimanis Power Sdn Bhd (14.15% of NAV) in end-Sep 2012, and subsequently Weststar Capital Sdn Bhd (18.68% of NAV) in end-Nov 2012. As a result, its portfolio turnover ratio rose to 2.31X as per its annual report dated 30-September 2012.

Despite the fund’s recent strong performance, we are rather concerned on the fund’s concentrated exposure to the downgraded Ample Zone paper valued at RM5 million, or 11.9% of the fund NAV (as at 30 November 2012). The bonds are classified as a receivable in its book currently and thus we advice investors to exercise caution."

I was actually deciding whether to top up on Select Asia Quantum or to invest in a new fund. Both have exposure in Singapore, HK etc. But SAQ is on the high side now. Hence my investment in PGS.

My next investment would be in REITS. But price is on the high side as well. Low dividend yeild. Not attractive.

Big chunk of you portfolio?

abt 20%
pray that it is ok for a yr....
cos > 1 yr holding no 1% exit fees.

1% vs potential losses of X%

U mean RHB Bond? or RHB bond Islam? I m holding RHB bond for more than 6 month and it hold up very well...the performance can match AMbond Islam.

Uncle Looi was referring to RHB Bond

Anybody buying or topping up next week?
