Maybe can come to KL one...

Impossible unless you sponsor my trip.

I'll be in KL this 11th weekend.

2013 not so good yr for my portfolio, cannot sponsor u..

This yr FSM doesnt hv cNY dinner?

I was having this question in my mind too. But not qualify to go. Who want bring 'partner'?

My funds performance at end of year 2013.

FSM own account (80% EQ, 20% FI) - overall IRR = 9.5%, best fund = CIMB Principal Global Titan Fund @36.8% IRR since April'13, worst fund = RHB-OSK Islamic Bond Fund @1.66% IRR invested since May'13. Best full year investment is Kenanga Growth Fund @25.9% IRR

FSM wife account (60% EQ, 40% FI) - overall IRR = 5.0%, best fund = EI Small-cap Fund @35.3% IRR invested since June'13, worst fund = Hwang Select Asia (xJap) Quantum Fund @-2.54% IRR invested since Mar'13.

PM EPF account - overall IRR = 9.5%, best fund = Public Islamic Sector Select Fund @16.6% IRR invested since 2009, worst fund = Public Islamic Income Fund @3.7 IRR invested since Mar'13.

So which market do you all foresee 2014 to do well in. Consistent with what we discussed last year? To focus on Asia market?

Not really...market is not rational.

My current US+Europe+Japan exposure is 27%...wanna bring it up to 30%-33%.

Today asia market so red >< T.T

Nikkei drop over 2% today

But 1-month and 3-months it's still green green

HK, China and SG has been going nowhere...with this picture in mind, Pacific Global Stars seems to be a good candidate for topping up

PGSF has quite some exposure in Singapore. Cannot top up anymore, if not I will be HEAVY invested. Both Hwang funds and PGSF are heavy in Singapore now.

as per 31 Dec 13, my country exposure in S'pore equities is 10% of portfolio.

Hi Uncle Looi. So long didn't see you already

10% still okay lar. I'm almost 18%

I'm 9.2% exposed to SG.

Another candidate is Eastspring GEM...China Shanghai beaten down quite badly...my IRR dropped from 8%++ to 6% now. But my exposure to Brazil, Russia, India and other EMs...

Where Is Singapore’s Market Headed for 2014?.......By Ser Jing Chong - January 6, 2014

David Kuo:

“So rather than focus on one year’s underperformance [referring to the STI’s flat 2013], we should remember that stock market investing is a marathon, not a sprint. And that the long-term outlook for the Singapore market remains bright.”

currently still reading this...something about RISK.....can't wait to share....

For 2014, Let’s Understand What Risk is All About....By Ser Jing Chong
Risk is one of the most misunderstood concepts in investing. During the festive season a few weeks back, I was having dinner with a group of close friends. One of them asked me, in my own personal capacity, how he can grow his savings over the long-term, apart from just saving more.

“Stocks”, I answered. “But, aren’t stocks risky? They move up and down all the time, and are prone to collapses”, he questioned.

That, for me, was again a sign that there are indeed likely to be many who are confused about investing risks
