oops,..wrong month,...should be mid july cos that is when the new list are published

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here. But i did some homework before I ask.

I'm looking for few funds to start with, preferably 2-4 and slowly make my way to more funds holdings and monthly top up depending of my excess income (fresh graduate here )

1) Can anyone enlighten me with fund selection? For e.g. I'm eye-ing at HSAQF at the moment. It has a high sharpe ratio compared to other Hwang's funds (I understand risk return because i studied finance).
But why the dividend is only paid RM 0.05 in 2012 while other funds(HSBF) have dividend paid almost yearly? Do ppl invest in such funds mostly for capital gain?

2) I'm also looking at AMPRECIOUS METAL and i'm interested in it because i have a long term horizon for gold. But I'm worried that would the price of funds drop to 0? Not too familiar with funds.

3) Any good funds to start off with, preferably stable ones? Just give me a few so i can start researching.

Thankyou!

while waiting, you can explore the website....btw, one can ask the CIS even without a/c.

Another quarter ending.. anybody summarizing their IRR for Q2?

I believe most of the 2013 gain has been wiped by the recent volatility.

Wow! There are 1,397 post in FSM thread. You people are treating FSM like stock market lar.... 

Unit Trust and and the strategy of asset allocation when done properly is a very boring endeavour and one should hardly need to do any transaction except maybe twice a year.

My take is that choose different funds sitting at Efficient Frontier line and do small quantum DCA regularly. You would gain very good diversification and risk reduction already.

P/S: Leave some moonies for syiok sendiri play at Genting Highlands and derivatives.

Updated portfolio tonight, all down again.

Market still not yet recover fully from last one month drop, can still top up..

Nah bro. If top up I'm also going to top up PGSF only. But got other obligation, so leave all on auto pilot. Bonus also come in yet

Don't look beyond past 1 year, HSAO was a Feeder Fund prior to that, its only recently that HwangIM took over the fund management.

Previously it was known as Hwang Global Opportunities Fund, a global fund. Now it's Asia ex Japan.

Do u all think Hwang Select Asia Quantum Fund will be in FSM recommended fund 2013/14?

I only spam Kenanga Growth Fund

IRR for my portfolio dropped to 4.6%

Yes, at its peak my portfolio IRR was around 6.5%.

Did I complain?

Heart must be steady

I mean my money 100% invested on Kenanga Growth Fund.

Not really new, but switch here switch there whenever there is a spike, in the end of the day didn't gain much

New strategy, just maintain it for 1-2 years regardless of market mood, and observe my result

Yea my mistake, I was expecting the market to maintain unstable due to new party leading the country for the first time.
