Both have your point & both you are sifu of sifu, basically i want to summarize is UT made attrative to uncle aunty and newbies know nuts of stock but trust those Fund manage to invest in their money in stock for return of investment gain.
1) No one point the gun to buy UT or Sifu can advice to buy which stock - Aunty Uncle and NewBies that dont know reading Financial Report so they rely on Fund Manage to the job . So Fund manager need salary for their duty the reason we hv service charge and annual fee.
2) UT come different fund theme and standard NAV which are affordable in term minimun investment compare stock.
3) UT is group of stock, the NAV wont Fluctuate so huge compare stock in single day, give peace of mind for aunty uncle & newbies sleep soundly every nite.
4) What UT fund manager do is pick the stock sync with theme either own country or mix of countries of thousand stock in the market.
5) UT distribution not same as dividend of the stock. Even some stock fly up before the ex date and drop later. Ppl juz want the dividend then dont want hold longer the stock. UT can disburse the dividend like stock, but UT hv financial closing and fixed date to declare the "Distribution" so call missunderstand "Dividend" , deduct from investment given away sure the total investment will drop then the NAV reflect will drop.
6) UT alwasy a long term investment. Left money pocket go in, right money go out.
forgive me... i said wrong and my infor give not the same thought. Im juz an IT

guy staying late at office answer both your

argument.
Kinda true like what u say UT is a very good tool for investments , just that I do not agree with some people for giving misleading info about the performances of UT to impress others.
Frankly at this point of time, I sold my UT and parked back to EPF account for capital protection with reasonable EPF dividend rates of late. I am rather happy with EPF nowaday, and capital protection is my priority at the moment, which many UT cannot provide. Bonds come with the risks too these days.
1) I follow my own investment /asset allocation method to low yields with less risk like Cash, taking into the consideration of Malaysia and Overseas performances at the moment. It is my own interpretation anyway.
2) As u may know I have invested in some other stocks too like Tambun and UEMland and so on. I would would continue to examine stocks with low PE come with a reasonable dividends yield with + - 5%. Eyeing on MBL and so on.
3) Even if reits fall to a attractive levels, I would pick up some along the way.
All in all, I think many markets could be peaking, with very fragile economy worldwide. I take the precautions and so on. Meanwhile waiting and reading more reports along the ways.
Well some people believe in "stay invested" no matter how, but I go for asset allocations with some cash in hand /bonds/reits .
Well it is my plan. No problems if others want to buy more UT so long the old uncles and aunties are not misled.
Regards
