Today China Hang Seng & ShangHai index close at Green Green

i mantained the units without topping up this fund since september 2013..

bought at high also, average 0.6248.

now 2% profit, rebound from -1x% previously.. syukurrrr

I have a question about CMF in general. Sorry if it's sound too stupid and i don't mean to offend anyone.

What are the reasons people invest in CMF ?
Based on the annualised returns it has almost the same interest rate as FD or even lower sometimes.
And both of these are equally stabilized.

Am i seeing this wrong? or is there any other risks/factors involved?
Thank you.

for me...it is the
1) ease of moving monies to investment assets in FSM and out (temporarily)
no need to goto banks to transfer monies (if more than allowed by online transact limits)
2) no lock in period where else FD has minimum (1 month?)
3) FD has higher minimum amount for initial investment...CMF RM 500
4) FD has higher subsequent reinvestment amount...CMF RM 100
5) FD has higher withdrawal redemption amount...CMF is RM 100
6) can view my non investment monies (CMF) and investment monies (FI/EQ) at a same page in FSM

some drawbacks I can think of...
1) FD can get monies FAST (if on working hours)....CMF have to wait a few days.
therefore one is recommended to get Saving & FD a/c too...just incase one needed to get faster.
2) .....

S&P 500 closed at record: 2072

Never regret any action you have/not taken. Always fire and forget. There will always be other opportunities.

Sudden interest shoot up for REIT related.

Because recently I've been accumulating REITs, cos traditional dividend stocks have shot up too much, no longer attractive

US market closed nice before Thanksgiving. Asian market opens lower because of Yen.

additional drawbacks
3) Technical drawback: Not PIDM insured. Pls read-up on PIDM and max insured ya - may not be a big factor to consider for some

Unit Trusts are governed/regulated by Securities Commission.

The fund management is overseen by its Trustee.

The underlying assets IS PIDM insured - CMF only have fixed deposits and bank deposits and a bit of money market placements. I'd say, >90% assurance. The 10% is...all hell break lose risk

Thank you. That answers it.

I see..
