Conclusion: Opportunities in distorted markets
Most of all, however, global investorsshould recognize how global central banks have distorted the investment environment
by pushing both short-term and long-term interestrates to very unattractive levels. A popular view, particularly since the financial
crisis, is that global financial markets are somehow “fixed” against the average individual, making it hard for them to succeed
in long-term balanced investing. Ironically, in 2013, central banks appear to have fixed the game from the otherside, making it
exceedingly hard for anyone hoarding cash to beat a balanced portfolio. Even as long-term interestrates rise, this should
remain the case over the next few years, underlining the importance of taking advantage of investment opportunities in a
world of more balance.

What is the meaning of this conclusion?? in laymen term?

why don't you try to do a pie chart to see the overall in % for each funds in your portfolio...I think it is easier to see.

just a note:
Performance data is valuable to chart the progress of your investment. While performance is a key evaluator in identifying a suitable fund, it is not the only factor upon which you should base your decision. It is important to understand that unit trusts do not offer a fixed rate of return: your principal value will fluctuate, and the return on your investment is not guaranteed. The rates of return fluctuate with market conditions, changes of the valuation of the securities a fund invests in, or other factors. For that reason, it is helpful to examine performance over various time periods.

slowly build up a portfolio.....
after you had focused your intention for the funds.....keep monitoring for dips in the markets.....buy on dips to collect the units....there will always be dips.

wow, 25% in FD + 25% in UT + 11% in EPF + (assuming 25% in taxes) + expenses + housing loan + car loan = 1 rich man.
I think it is "safe" for 10% of total cash in UT for a start ...taking into consideration of your very near BIG purchase.
(worst come to worst...you will still get back maybe 5% ....50% of your 10% cash invested got burned)

The Hwang Asia Quantum Fund
is classified as a Malaysia-focus fund (rather than an Asia ex-Japan fund) on our platform because: 1) it is significantly overweight on Malaysian equities, and 2) technically, it invests in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong, rather than the entire Asia ex-Japan region.

Hwang China Select Fund
China 34%, HK 63.7%, 2% cash
just the minimum investment sum of RM 30k can be a stopper for some

Do You Know How Much You Might Be Losing In Fees?
http://www.fool.sg/2013/07/18/do-you-know-...losing-in-fees/

suggest you pick a few "good stocks" to invest in

i think it depends alot on individual risk profile/naiveness/level of exposure in market/amount of assets dumped in/objectives and etc.....
guess a 10% maybe a "Kaboom" to some but just a "blips" to others.

With less than efficient markets in Asia, fund managers investing in such regions are able to add more value and therefore, outperform the index, as compared to fund managers in the US.
In the long-run, the retail investor will be better off investing in actively-managed Singapore funds than in streetTRACKS ETF.
