if I can do it consistently, I can put 6k inside in a year, but have to study first.

sifus here divide their investment based on country, not quite understand actually.

I thought we go for the fund with highest return. but again, I'm new. 

now I'm not sure dy. 

I thought you wanted to wait... longer? Today market not very red ma.

Or you see a sign of recovery so just top up since it's still consider low? 

hi can anyone correct me if am wrong, I am now looking for bond fund  hence if i am looking at EastSpring Global LeaderMY Fund, am i doing it right? EastSpring Global Leader Fund=Bond Fund. Thanks in advance. Thinking of switching from Hwang Select Bond to EastSpring. I do have AmDynamic well but not much and do you think it will be a duplicate to EastSpring in term of their portfolio investment? 

Going to switch out part of my Hwang Select Asia Opp into the 'fe-mes' ponzi fund. Feel like I'm wasting my time and money putting in Hwang Opp now.

mine got in Aug till now still -7%
seems like HSAO and HSAQ are laggards.
guess hv to keep for a while to see the situation...
remember last few months most we complaining abt non performing of PGSF....then it started to move from Nov.....

Phillips capital January 2014 fund focus commented
"For Asia Equity category, our preferred exposure via Hwang Asia Quantum gained 0.1% for the month. We are monitoring the fund closely and may reduce exposure within our managed account as fund redemptions may strengthen moving forward. Thus far, the fund has been well managed and performance has held firm despite declines in the respective countries of exposure."

And HSAO is holding over 60% in Malaysia market if you notice.

If want switch from HSAO to HSAQ (intra switching), when I compute using the switching calculator, I notice that there is no switching fee being imposed? Just to clarify, when I switch sell Fund Hwang A, I won't be imposed to any charges, but if I switch buy into Fund Hwang A I will need to pay for that fund SC right?

How's the process like? Just click intra switching and select the units amount to switch out?

More reason to switch over now 

The only thing I dislike is that my cost invested amount won't be perfect round figure anymore.

Switch sell - you sell units, not amount. Hence will result in decimal, cost invested amount won't be round figure.
Switch buy - Same goes to that.

just checked...my HSAQ May till now is -8.06%
HSAO Aug till now is -9.26%
similar countries allocated...almost similar %....Big and small caps

and those that are buying now will get them cheaper than mine due to lower nav?...oops....sorry...just cannot resist this cheeky question....newbies go read post #1 before asking,...else spoilt pink's sifu Chinese new year mood, then kena "wack".

No lar. Maybe 1/3 of it. No more staying invested in it. It's been underperforming for quite awhile. Moreover it's free switching

Morning!!! Any topping up on this last day? Also market still dropping...

I topped up HSAQ just now...

Aberdeen World Equity did not top up because minimum is RM500. Not enough $$, wanna keep to use for CNY!

Cut off time is 10am right? I was 10 mins late so didn't top-up. Are they open on Monday?

Top up 1k on 2 of my US fund for today...

I kinda think US trader overreact with this fed tapering...the 1 effected most is EM...dunno why they dump us securities so aggressive ....

So early drunk ah. 1k, not 100k. Haha!

"All gain or loss will not be realized until you cash out from the fund" - another way to look at it : all gain or loss will be realized when the fund manager decided to sell them.

Something for you to think about. Unlike holding share, all gain or loss are realized only when you sell them.

hwang's funds are in a defensive position setting now.... next few months may not perform well but it may helps to prevent more loses...
Emerging Markets Tumble, Dragging Asia Down.....Created on 28 January 2014.....  Author: David Ng
Market volatility has reared its ugly side again even though it is only the first month of 2014. Faced with renewed uncertainties, investors’ confidence waned and global financial markets took a beating.......

Investment Strategy
...........
In view of the near term uncertainty, market exposure has been reduced to cushion the impact of further weakness in the market. While there are possibilities that this may merely be a short term pull-back, we deem it necessary to maintain a more cautious approach, preferring instead to preserve the funds’ capital.
Portfolios will be raising their cash levels between 20%-30% at the expense of commodity and currency dependent stocks as well as locking-in gains in the interim. We will be keeping a close watch on the latest developments on the global front, waiting for the dust to settle before moving back into the market.
..........
We are managing our portfolios actively to defend our positions. For the Malaysian portfolios, we are adopting a conservative strategy as it is unclear where markets are heading. Hence, we are selling more of our liquid positions and reducing smaller / mid-cap positions, raising cash in the range of 15%-20%.
