It baffles me that FSM STILL recommends Eastspring Investments Asia Pacific Equity MY, that fund has been an underperformer in its class both short and longer term

here is the reply i got:
"Please be informed that our Recommended Funds will review and update on July yearly. Hence the new listing of 2013/2014 Recommended Fund will be coming out in next month. There may have some changes happen in few categories in the new list to reflect our updated opinion on the chosen funds.
Each year, we update our list of Recommended Funds to ensure that it remains relevant and current. Our fund assessment methodology is largely quantitative with a qualitative overlay, which means that our recommendations may vary from year to year as a result of differing performances and other considerations such as the stability of the investment teams, investment philosophy, portfolio holdings assessment and etc.
Eastspring Investments Asia Pacific Equity MY Fund is listed in our Recommended fund 2012/2013 as the fund score highest among the peers during evaluation period
(as at 31 March 2012).".

(evaluation as at 31 March XXXX, published in July = still relevant?...just a thought)
