U said it before me

Why?

Since IPO, it's already up ~ 9%

Sila baca Post #1 Point #2

I support, because me too

Go FSM, read up all the popular global funds fact sheet. See which one you are most comfortable with.

I like AGEYF because like the name suggest, it invests in a lot of dividend paying company. Exposure wise it is 40+% in US, with the rest in Europe etc. The way I like it.

Wow Pink, dare to call David to read back. Want die ah?

Fixed

@Pink Spider, @TakaC

He has his point and I have mine.

I have another parameter to judge which is the potential of upside. It's really subjective.

Aberdeen Islamic World Equity Fund doesn't have historical data.

Typo lar

the point is, their holdings might have turned over i.e. changed, so high NAV may not necessarily mean that its underlying holdings are overvalued, i.e. the fund might have already liquidated their profitable holdings.

Based on current wind blow, I'm overweighting OSK-UOB GEYF over AGEF becaus AGEF has 2/3 in Asia ex Japan.

Aberdeen Islamic World Equity Fund also good as it has >= 70 % outside Asia ex Japan.

If wind blows steadily at the correct direction, AIWEF will have more upside in the near term if QE3 is being tapered accordingly.

Actually looking at the article shared earlier on the capital flowing back to US, now would be a good time to invest. Maybe not rock bottom, but at least money is flowing back which will help the economy. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, we will know the Feds decision tomorrow. So expecting some action tomorrow or the day after next.

Not so soon I guess. ROI and IRR retreat to ~ 5.5%
