SHAH ALAM, March 1 — A pregnant investment fund manager pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) amounting to RM500,000, at the Sessions Court here today. 

Nik Ariza Nik Aris, 33, from Klang, allegedly committed the offences at her employer's premises at HSBC Amanah Malaysia Bhd, Bandar Baru Klang near here, between March 12, 2010 and March 9, 2011. 

U are wrong

Number of units sold : 1311.18
Confirmed Sale Price : RM0.6271
Redemption Fee : RM8.22
Gross Redemption : RM822.24
Net Amount After Redemption Fee(if any) : RM814.02

Redemption fee is calculated as % of the gross proceed, NOT gross proceed/1.01=net proceed

U made me "lost" 8 sen

KLCI feel-good is still on, good time to switch out to avoid GE selldown. Feel wanna switch out my 100% Malaysian equity EI Equity Income, but where to? GEM or Asia Pacific Shariah Equity

GEM - no exposure to HK (non-China stocks) Singapore and Australia
APSE - no exposure to haram stocks esp banks

How

Eastspring Investments non-Shariah APexJ fund sucks , but the Shariah variant performed great, consistently beat its benchmark (Dow Jones Islamic APexJ).

Thinking...

GEM covers most of APexJ except for domestic HK, Singapore and Australia

Australia has the biggest mining companies, Singapore has some good yielding Telcos

Both GEM and APexJ covers Philippines

So, u reckon Emerging Asia has better potential than Developed Asia?

Yea wor

It's my favourite global equity fund

*PM LiveHelp now*

Eastspring Investments' Asia Ex-Japan funds have exposure to central-mid Asia too.

The Shariah variant seem to focus on IT and materials as its got no exposure to financials.

My equity funds now:
AmAsia Pac REITs 14%
EI Equity Income 10%
EI GEM 30%
Hwang Asia Quantum 17%
Pacific Global Stars 9%
OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield 19%

Sifu, GEM or AexJ Shariah?

FSM Recommended Portfolio adjustment for end-Feb 2013:

They're adding CIMB-Principal Global Titans for global equity exposure.

My OSK-UOB Global Equity Yield matching/slightly beating MSCI AC World

How's the brokerage? Buy thru who?

My broker only got FTSE ASEAN and CIMB China ETF

One question about fund vs index...

Indices does not take into account dividend incomes, right? If that's the case, investing in ETF that tracks index would win?

 

Jaguh kampung indeed

wait, any proof of that?

U know what? That day at the FSM "Lou Sang" dinner, the CEO of Amanah Mutual Berhad suggested that the better way to invest in foreign markets is to buy single-market funds. She reckoned that this way, u can manage your portfolio better. And she's quite positive on Indonesia.

I think she is right in a sense; this way, u can see more clearly which country is performing and which is not, and u can structure your portfolio in a more clear manner.

Problem is, as amateur investors ourselves, how do u decide how much % to allocate to the respective countries? Region allocation is already a headache, what more country allocation.

What do u guys think?

Talking of which, my "sniper" (Hwang Global Financial Institutions Fund) actually made up 1/4 of my equity portfolio. Back then dunno anything about portfolio investing. Luckily it did not tank like China funds, giving me a tiny return of 4% annualised since 2008

Main drivers of my portfolio returns are EM bonds and Hwang Select Income Fund. Current portfolio IRR: 6%, these two consistently delivered above that. The rest +/- around 6%. The monster is Hwang Asia Quantum Fund with double-digit IRR. IF ONLY I had invested in it earlier.

1. U don't judge a fund over its 1-month performance
2. Told you already, its managed by the same team managing Aberdeen Global Opportunities which is available on FSM Singapore, only difference being the Malaysian fund cannot invest in sin stocks and financials.
3. U don't need to have that many funds, UT investing is unlike stock investing where u need at least 10 stocks to diversify adequately.

Eh pakcik, aku ingat kau tak minat global equity funds? ETF mar...

Haha.. Long term for my kid bro. Kidsave now only 9% in msia, 50% bonds, 30% asia ex jpn and rest cash

U need more higher growth potential funds...

Btw, OSK-UOB EM Bonds might be worth topping up now, Brazilian 10-yr bond yield has risen to 10%, it's been hovering aroung 9.4% for some time prior to this.
