to be frank, with the 0.2% difference in management fee, I'd rather go for Select Income

Add 0.5%sc different also

but Select income have some equity , although very small %.. if i wanted to adjust portfolio allocation, then will be complicated? i think that was why i chose HS bond in the 1st place.. what's ur opinion? 

Well, its all personal preference lo, I'd go for HSB to be able to better monitor my portfolio, but sometimes I look at the 10% annualised returns of HSI...

yeah will do that.. but before that wan check if, anybody that hold that fund was notified for the distribution reinvestment... 

not bad.. the fund is quite big at 2 bil , is it just me or sometimes i look into fund investment based on how big they are ?

The bigger the fund, the less efficient the management will be. If a fund is too big, it cannot make purchases without distorting the whole market. Hence big funds can only buy very very liquid stocks hence becoming more like an index fund already, as the list of stocks they can buy is limited.

A good example is public smallcap became sooooo big, until the performance is affected before they decided too late to close the fund.

Hwang SIF is more yield-focused, not so trade-happy. Should not affect much IMHO

Yeah.. but it was a general reply to those who think that bigger funds = better. 

Still even though it is yield focus, the big size does limit some of the purchases. For example if SIF decide to invest in like illiquid stock with good yield like Hup Seng.. what would happen? 

Hi, I am new to UT. I dont have any experience other than reading through "getting started" in FSM and lurking around this thread. I was wondering, how does one keep track of their portfolio ? What do I need to monitor ? I mean, I wanted to have an excel sort of document to manage my newly started investment but I dont know what to do. Please advise.

EI GEM personally i had this fund under my portfolio before, just sold it not a recommended fund. anyway read fact sheet and past five years track records judge yourself

It's the best GEM equity fund available at Malaysia, at least it beats its benchmark
