But I'm akauntan tak berlesen. I can always squeeze in something out of nowhere to make it balance

Shall I top up on other equity funds
But equity already lari 1%, now 51/49 already. If top up, might go to 55/45

I'll update you next Monday. So busy with work I haven't got the time to track it for awhile now.

Btw anyone of you realize that unit price are not updated that often now? It used to be -2 days difference top. But lately it can go up to 3-4 days. And I'm talking about FSM and unitprice website.

Yup. My Asia Quantum value is hitting new high everyday too. The last time I checked simple return calculations was close to 15% or more (if my memories serve me correctly)

Next Monday lar

I won't be topping up MY fund. Now for accumulating on global fund (my portfolio now Asia ex Japan focused high)

Hwang should update their fund factsheets la.. normally how often they update it?

Every month, e.g. they should update 30-Apr-2013 fact sheet by 20th May.

Japan Nikkei continues its crazy bull run

depends of why you buy it.
just a though, if you hd bought gold in 2004 and by 2007 you had made a profit 200% and sold...you would missed another 400% ROI
just a thought...cos it might go in reverse order.
what is your faith/beliefs on the funds that you hd .

just reading from the post you all SIFUs posted...trying to analyse what is going on....
so much to learn, so much more to know...you ppl are fantastic in terms of investing knowledge.    
me...just "Sai lang" show hand almost all my $ into UTs. lastweek

You've never experienced a major slump/significant loss?

I've gone past it, both for my UT portfolio and stocks. I hope those experiences have made me wiser and more mentally strong to manage next slump that comes

My portfolio has generated over 10% return now... Unsure want to sell of and rebuy when low?

2008-2009 and 2010-2011 got 2 major slumps

signal?? how to identified? at that time everyone was enjoying the profits.... there are industries leaders like Bill gates and Alan Greenspan said that the tech stock was too high.....it did not crash immediately...i think only after 10 mths....just imagine if the Thai mkt can go up +40% in a year....so can m'sia stock, i think that is what is happening to allot of ppl mind right now...?
i remember during the good yr in i think 1992 ~3 the m'sia stock mkt was soo good until my remisier does not have credit to buy for me....every auntie & uncle who buy stocks make $$,    then it crashed for a while a few years later....  
so i would appreciate yr advise on how to identify the signal....and also what is in the written plan...  

i goggled...
klci market chart, found the chart and below is the website...see if this is what you wanted
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EKLSE&t=my&l=on&z=l&q=l&c=

what is see is that, not all funds dropped at the same time and at the same constant rate...maybe it is their holdings.
so difficult to set....i think.....see RHB Bond annual report it dropped i think about 20% in 2007(if i am not mistaken)

if you did, pls share...i am also interested to hv a worst case scenario view of my portfolio.

The most important thing is not when to get in but when to get out. If you listen to news or analyst etc., they will tell you when to buy but never when to sell. If you know when to sell you'll cut your loses short. Housing may not be a good example as it is not easy to liquidate. With stock or UT, you don't want to keep your stock during downturn as you can make better use of the cash during this period. Also if you lose your job during this recession, your money go stuck in the equity.

For exampe, if you have rm100k in UT, 50K in fix & 50K in equity. When market went down by 10% on equity side, you forced rebalance to 20-80. Now you have rm19k in equity and 76k in fixed. If market went down worst case by 50% on equity side, your UT value is now rm11.5k in equity and rm76k in fixed, total 87.5k. I'm assuming fixed income did not suffer drawdown just for illustration.

Now, example if you use normal rebalancing. When market down by 10% in equity, you perform normal rebalance. Let see how the value ended up by the time market went down by 50%. 10% (47.5k fixed,47.5k equity), 20% (45k,45k), 30%(43k, 43k), 40%(41k,41k) and finally 50%(39k,39k).

If you follow normal rebalancing you ended up with about rm78k versus if you force rebalance, you still have rm87.5k. I stand corrected if my math is out a bit 

Strong MYR is hurting my offshore funds.

All my funds are still green but OU EMB is in red now.

wat is IRR that we are looking at? I tot we owes looking at absolute return?

oh IRR is basically annualized return? So longer i hold, the more accurate it is?
