bought in May 2013 till now still -1.50%

The China Debate
Eastspring Investments:
We believe current valuations have already priced in much of the uncertainty of slower growth and future earnings sustainability
Nikko Asset Management:
Favour China market in anticipation of a few events, such as new round of reform initiatives to boost domestic demand, tax reform, one-child policy, capital market liberalisation etc
LionGlobal Investors:
Reforms will put China on slower economic growth trajectory and dampen corporate profitability, as China still suffers from overcapacity in numerous industries
Schroder Investment Management:
Generally neutral on emerging market equities, where valuations are more attractive but the prospect of Fed tapering
is likely to hit those countries with the weakest fundamentals

guess it has to be decided by you....does your risk profile and or portfolio built up requires it?

ha-ha...good for you...at least you bought at 1 day lower.....
I bought in mid May...highest points......then end later in May, FED say QE tightening....bond & Eq mkts kena hentam kuat....
both my kidsave and hw Bal performing about the same till end of Nov....then hw is now strolling to +, but kidsave is still minus.

I think few years ago, many analysts already said that.

hsaq had been down for since July till about DEc...only this year,..it start to gallop....hope my hsao will wake up and walk.

googled and found some....

it all depends on what you want....the markets are irrationals most of the times..

at times, depends on the % in the portfolios...it is good to consider FD as a "Bond" funds.
MUCH more less risk at a return variance of how many %? do you want it?
During QE easing bond is good, now QE tapering...
check the ROI returns of bond and balanced funds for the past 1 yr...you will roughly see it.

bugs/ants in the suit of the storm trooper?

why can't top up now?

investors should never solely judge if a fund is cheap or expensive based on its fund price.

noted

the thing to do is to stay focused on the value of the underlying assets or markets that they invest in. Focus on the long-term fundamentals of their investments and not the short-term market momentum.

and also the sector of the industries/economy that they choose, its % allocated and the stocks it picked for that sector.......
