then got dropped >50%?
....I really doubted

I think he meant the XIRR dropped 50%, not the fund dropped 50%...

Nice...no red in your portfolio

am looking at adding a Malaysia growth fund and another global fund. cant seem to find a good long term malaysian growth fund performer. for global fund, am looking at aberdeen.

also, might scrap global bond fund soon....have been sort of in dormant state for months....

any comments?

Looking at my bond funds (AmDynamic Bond, OSK-UOB Emerging Markets Bond), I also

But still keeping them as part of my portfolio strategy.

Malaysian GROWTH fund? What do u mean by that? U mean u want a fund that focuses on growth stocks?

Malaysian funds...u can look at the usual suspects, Kenanga Growth, Hwang Select Opportunity, Eastspring Investments Equity Income...u can't go wrong with this 3.

yes, am looking at msian fund which focus on growth funds.

hwang select opportunity is too similar to ponzi fund in terms of stock holdings, at least from the half yearly/annual reports.

i alredi have kenanga growth for my kids portfolio...dont feel like mixing it up

easpring equity income is considered growth fund meh? i thot it's like dividend fund? i had a look at stock holdings of equity income, and the good news is not too many overlap of stock holdings with hwang select dividend

Top / Worst 5 Performing Funds
Daily, weekly, monthly, 3 monthly, 6 monthly, 1,2,3,5,10 year,

Do consider OSK-UOB Equity Trust too, but beware it can hold up to 50% in Asia ex-Japan stocks. It does have some growth stocks, u see its latest fact sheet, u see stocks like Can One, Kian Joo Can, Power Root...

EI Equity Income is dividend focused, yes, but it's a good fund IMHO.

EI Equity Income no doubt is a good long term fund and is in my shortlist....just concern that it might duplicate with hwang select dividend which i currently hold.

Hwang Aiiman Growth?

i alredi have 2 hwang funds: select dividend & ponzi....another hwang fund might cause a lot of duplicated share holdings

Yup.

I'm also faint with OSK UOB Emerging Market Bond, I'm thinking to cut loss.

Replace another bond fund.

What do you think, pink?

Any upside potential bond to recommend?

what is the expected ROI you are looking for within this 2~ 3 years?

For bond fund, I don't expect high ROI.
I think 7-10% that's very good return d.
I'm thinking to dump bond, fully concentrate on equity.

Bond fund don't look that promising from past trends. AmDynamic used to yield that kind of return.

Since Federal Reserve said want to taper QE, most of the bonds are deeply impacted.

How bout RHB Islamic Bond Fund... still performing so far...

If you're already in, I'd suggest to stay invested. EM bond yields are reasonable for now IMHO. Past losses is past, don't think about it/let it affect your portfolio strategy.

Unrealistic expectation. I only expect 4-6% from my bond funds. 7-10% from bond funds is a thing of the past.

I have a question regarding sales charge. I've read the FSM information, but knowing me, I might get the wrong idea, lol.

Do help me to understand here. It says now that there are no more sales charge, but there's platform fees.
Let's say I buy 1 fund with RM10k investment. How much do I get deducted from FSM? Is it according to whatever platform fee that is tied to that particular fund as shown in the site?
If yes, anything else on top of that that will be deducted from me?

So, if the price increases by 5%...so my profit = 5%-platform fees?

What is the difference between this and buying from the bank in terms of charges? I see that most bank charges about 4-5%. So meaning my price has to increase more than 4-5% before I can make a profit, yes?

Thanks!
