yes i think so, u check n see

Got a feeling he just want to ride along the uptrend wave. But you never know when is it going to fall, bro.

To Wong, Kaka, Pink,

I know you guys probably get to a lot, but just asking because normally when you all discuss fund all I hear are names

As you all already probably know, I'm bought in AQ end of last year and thinking of finding a equity fund to is expose to global equity (US, Europe etc) since AQ is already expose to Asia ex Japan.

What would you guys recommend? Thanks

Aberdeen Islamic World Equity
Alliance Global Equities
OSK UOB Global Equity Yield
Pacific Global Stars

All 4 are decent

Read the prospectus, see the fact sheets.

Ahh, yes. Pacific Global Stars (PGS)

Had my eyes on PGS and OSK UOB Global Equity Yield, I favour more towards PGS due to his holdings in consumer product (including tobacco). Sadly I think they sold off their shares in some of the tobacco company I believe.

I noticed something which I can't seem to explain too. Back in 2011, AQ yields a 6% returns while PGS perfomance drops around 12%. Anyone know what's the story?

PGS is an opportunist fund. Its composite benchmark is 65% S&P 500, 25% S&P Europe and 10% S&P Asia, but its currently overweight Asia. OUGEY pula has always been overweight US and Europe. Tell u what, even though small caps are generally viewed as "high risk", they often escape the radar of investors. Hence, in a sell-off scenario, blue chip large caps might experience large losses whereas small caps escape unscathed.

Hi guys,

Just purchased my first fund - CIMB-PRINCIPAL ASIA PACIFIC DYNAMIC INCOME FUND with minimum initial investment.

This actually serves as a learning session for me to understand it first hand. Hope I will not be losing too much. Will do more research to have a good portfolio. Do share more about creating a portfolio.

By the way, does FundSupermarket usually recommends the "correct" funds?

If FSM gets it right all the time, other distributors like Public Mutual, CIMB Wealth Advisors etc can all close shop already lo

Professionals usually give advice in good faith, but they cannot guarantee that you won't go wrong following their advice.

Haha, true true.

Finger crossed. Am very new to this. Hopefully I will be able to learn it quickly.

For those who are interested with Indonesian market:

Indonesia: Still Cheap To Buy?

KEY POINTS:

1. Despite the lingering worries on the weakening rupiah at this moment, foreign investors’ buying interest seems to be recovering as net inflow of foreign funds have surged since the beginning of this year.
2. Based on Bloomberg consensus estimates, earnings growth for Indonesian equity market is expected to grow stronger than last year, driven by better earnings in infrastructure, utilities, transportation, consumer goods sectors.
3. Earnings for basic industrial, chemical, mining and agriculture sectors should also see strong improvement in this year.
4. Examining the valuations of the JCI and its sub-sectors suggests that most of the sectors are now fairly priced or overvalued, except for the construction, property, real estate sector and agriculture sector.
5. Currently, the JCI trades at price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios of 15.7X and 13.7X based on 2013 and 2014 estimated earnings respectively, which are close to its fair P/E ratio of 15.0X.
6. We urge medium- to long-term investors of the Indonesian equity market to exercise caution as we believe that the downside risk for the Indonesian equity market has risen.
7. Profit taking activities are likely to take place when uncertainties over the developed markets subside and global recovery becomes more solid.
8. We believe that the possibility of higher-than-expected inflation and a weakening of the rupiah could still be threats
9. We maintain a rating of 2.5 stars “Neutral” for the Indonesian equity market.

For the benefit of UT newbies and also those who are not very familiar with how UTs work, I've inserted 2 new "FAQ"s on Post #1

didnt receive subscription notif , then only i noticed everybody migrate to V2! so fast aldy 16 pages!
today spend few hours planning how the eggs going to different basket

I still thinking of Hwang Asia Quantum, high risk..but quite stable for the past 10years!
@pinky, how long you hold HAQ, is it satisfactory UT-that u no regret bought it?

I want to keep 25-40% on Bond,
but not sure what is the best choice now, since Amdynamic close aldy..any suggestion?

I gotta utilize the 1% SC for first 30days opening account..so for now i guess i will purchase those UT that normally 2% SC.

btw FSM SG now have no SC at all-permanently http://www.fundsupermart.com/main/research...?articleNo=7967 ...when msia becm like that oso...

0% SC is for RSP purchases only
but its a good start by FSM SG anyway

Hwang AQ I bought just about 6 months ago, but I've been investing in HwangIM funds since 2008, I can vouch for them

Go "Fund Selector", look for those with higher Sharpe ratio, u will see the likes of OSK-UOB Income, Kenanga Bond etc

Not sure how long FSM repurchase proceed completes.

I think PM is pretty fast. About 3 working days.

Executed a Repurchase instruction on Thursday before 4pm. Cheque has been banked in to my MBB saving account today.

I sold some AmDynamic Bond units on last Monday before 3PM. It's on T+4. Friday they bank in cheque/remit by GIRO, yesterday morning money in my bank.

I just bought into AQ 3 months ago. I'm satisfy with the performance so far.

anyone have issue logging in fundsupermart?

Let me guess - U loggin in from office? Where yr IT ppl has setup a load balancer?


FSM's system can't handle it the last i tried - multiple IPs while "keeping the same password token".
