for me , i just top up regularly - regardless the momentary market jerk. money cost averaging, this should be a slow and steady long term investment.

how many funds u hv? u only hv Kenanga Growth?

share with us ur portfolio

looking at the pie chart...may i ask.
the country % allocation is based from the fund allocation or the allocation taking consideration of the % of money in your portfolio?
example, if Pacific Global Star has 16% in US and 10% of your portfolio money is in PGSF
does the pie chart show 16% US or 1.6% US (10% of 16%)?

Pink...what about your pie chart? which method?

Unker, ini basic math question

Of cos 16% x 10% = 1.6%

how has the markets performed since 22 May 2013

don't forget Korea and Vietnam?

Does this method work? Meaning in long term all the funds will have positive return regardless of short term movement

No guarantee that dca will result in profit over the long term. It depends highly on the fund, all dca does is smooth out the ups and down of the performance.....

Attempt to dca in a lousy fund will result in lousy results, but then again past performance does not indicate future performance....

Any agent who tell you otherwise should be shot...

Ah haven't been viewing this thread for a while due to crazy workhours and boooooom, it's now >100 pages. -__- sorry off-topic sikit

just received the income distribution form and notice that the percentage of non-allowable expenses is very high almost 30%. anyone knows what are all these expenses?

Gross Income are investment incomes (profit from sale of shares, dividend incomes, interest incomes etc)
LESS
Expenses (the term "allowable" is a tax term, some expenses are tax-deductible, some are not, I'm not good with tax so I can't name them)
LESS
Tax
=Net Income

Yes only KGF. Started about 3 years ago , being top up regularly.

Almost got my hand on precious metal fund ( forgot the name ady) 2 years ago, luckily didn't get it

go get a global equity fund, asia ex japan fund and maybe an emerging market fund

After did a bit of comparison in FSM magazine, AmAsia Pacific Equity Income looks good based on past performance .

10% x 16%.

Yup. Indeed. Slowly going towards higher US/Europe exposure portfolio.

thks,
i envy the allocation.

I was a bit confused with that too. Unker Looi got global exposure too I reckon, just that portfolio a little red.
