Aiks, ANOTHER "is ABC Fund good?" question...

See it's historical returns (use Chart Centre), fact sheets, annual reports, compare it against its peers and benchmark.

Gomen or not I dunno, I personally like RHB-OSK Income Fund 2 (formerly OSK-UOB Income Fund), quite stable though the returns not spectacular like AmDynamic Bond in those years

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2940861

RHB-Osk got invest in China mkt meh?
I think hwang's only got 1% in China currency exposure

why do you get that fund in the 1st place?
what criteria did you used? How is the performance against the criteria's?
any funds got better performance over the past few years?
(better not judge based on 1 or 2 yrs performance)
if you want, try fund selector, click the FI funds see the performance, the risk return ratio, risk rating, sharpe ratio and etc and then decide
(just my take...I will keep for a bit longer than see the performance)

Nightzstar,

If you are believer of modern portfolio theory and uses it for investment, then you would realised that bond or fixed market portion of your protfolio is to decrease the beta (volatility aka risk for lay-man). Hence, your bond selection criteria should be which one gives me the highest ROI and smallest standard-deviation. It is not which one invest in China or India or what's not. You are asking the wrong question.

BTW, when I construct portfolio my portfolio, the two bond funds you mentioned is not in my selection criteria.

I let the equity fund generate my alpha (aka ROI for lay-person). To me, the bond fund is to help me stabalize my overall portfolio volatility, not to generate the ROI.

i am also sometimes get confused.
what i did was to compare the value of the ratios between the Fixed Income funds against the value of high risk equities funds....to get the idea
i think it is in the sense of less risk for your money. to get the expected return.

Definition of 'Risk/Reward Ratio'

A ratio used by many investors to compare the expected returns of an investment to the amount of risk undertaken to capture these returns. This ratio is calculated mathematically by dividing the amount he or she stands to lose if the price moves in the unexpected direction (i.e. the risk) by the amount of profit the trader expects to have made when the position is closed (i.e. the reward).

Investopedia explains 'Risk/Reward Ratio'

Let's say a trader purchases 100 shares of XYZ Company at $20 and places a stop-loss order at $15 to ensure that her losses will not exceed $500. Let's also assume that this trader believes that the price of XYZ will reach $30 in the next few months. In this case, the trader is willing to risk $5 per share to make an expected return of $10 per share after closing her position. Since the trader stands to make double the amount that she has risked, she would be said to have a 1:2 risk/reward ratio on that particular trade. The optimal risk/reward ratio differs widely among trading strategies. Some trial and error is usually required to determine which ratio is best for a given trading strategy.

forget to ask...you posted..so the higher ratio of risk-return the better?
what does "better" imply? if it is better returns of investment...i guess not.

Amincome plus, risk/return ratio 12, so high. but looking at it ROI, my God, even put FD also way better.. So what's the point?

buy when they are down...dont buy when its going up up up... herd mentality will get you slaughtered...

i guess the exit fees are controlled by the fundhouse,.thus is the same
Sales charges,...i guess FSM is still the cheapest (0%SC),...but it has "platform fees" for bond....

Platform fees,.... i guess FSM only.
read the fund fact sheet...the normal SC rates are stated there....

goto FSM my website.
click "fund Info", "fund selector",...under Main categories.....select "Fixed income".....

GLeader is global equity fund la

E/Spring Global Leader MY Fund = a daughter fund that feed on The mother fund which is M&G Global Leader Fund. The mother fund is a pure equity fund that buys stocks of top MNC around the world.

M&G investment is a London based investment company that is owned by Prudential Ltd (UK). Basically M&G is the asset management arm of Prudential (UK).

i think it is imperative for one to evaluate a mutual fund schemes beyond returns and cost, by taking into account parameters such as the risk of the fund (as denoted by Standard Deviation), risk-adjusted returns (as denoted by Sharpe Ratio), portfolio concentration, experience of the fund manager and host of other research factors. The best deal for an investor will come from a mutual fund that has higher NAV appreciation and Sharpe Ratio and lower Standard Deviation, that are comfortable with the risk profile of the individual investor

Investopedia explains 'Sharpe Ratio'

The Sharpe ratio tells us whether a portfolio's returns are due to smart investment decisions or a result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one portfolio or fund can reap higher returns than its peers, it is only a good investment if those higher returns do not come with too much additional risk. The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. A negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-less asset would perform better than the security being analyzed.
