It's an absolute return fund, i.e. aims a certain % return regardless of benchmark/index performance.

Doesn't every actively-managed fund aim to make money every year regardless of index performance? 8% average is a kind of low target

NO.

Most other funds can consider themselves "achieved goal/target" IF they managed to outperform index/benchmark,

E.g.
2012 benchmark -40%, fund -38%
2013 benchmark +1%, fund +1.5%

fund manager can PROUDLY declare they met its goal

But with this fund:

2014 benchmark +30% fund +8%



Right?

Lazy to entertain u...u should get what I mean

That's why I think having an upside target is strange

similar to entertaining the "chasing higher returns" alpha-generating fund managers' fund
VS
buy more low, buy less high (VCA, DCA, other methodologies based on value mechanical & "return to mean")
?

Works for me

works for me too. Finally achieve 5 figure return in profit after NAV update (3/9/2014) for the first time
KEEP GOING!

I have a few of them rally more than 10% in ROI about 1 and half - 2 years time. Thinking to rebalance it or sell it and wait for fruits drop again.
mostly the fund is come from FSM SG. For msia side, I have a few fund with good performance too. mostly is the popular fund that u guys talking here, cannot run wan.

Yes, also my biggest holding. but this GEM fund always in roller coaster mode, scary lah...

But long-term annualised return decent, has been in the range of 7-10%

same here. I believe what's went up must come down.
So invest in lower value is always better than chase the new high.
I already take my next strategy is to move some capital to property for lagi long-term investment.

Do more research with network I believe you can found the right wan that suits you.
If not, you might just wait for the drop where I think is hardly to be happen. But things is no guarentee, if you never take action, you wont know what's happen next.

so, no to small cap?
