For global fund, my personal favourite is AMOasis Global Islamic. I like it for its low volatility, higher than average risk-adjusted reward among peers.

Global fund is good for those who are not sure where to throw their money at. It is a good middle of road asset class.

Most if not all local fund managers investing in Japan equities are not doing well.

Hello guys

my hwang quantum fund and eastspring GEM are bleeding -4.35% and -6.4% respectively.

Recommend DCA or sell to cut loss? TQ

how long have U been investing in either?
3 to 5 years?
if yes, i'd cut loss and reinvest the $ into something else

If like...a few months.. 
welcome newbie

hi wongmunkeong,

these 2 funds, Affin Quantum Fund & Eastspring GEM are in red because of the hong kong protest?

sorry sonicbull - i'm unsure why and i dont look for why.
ANALysts & others will try to explain stuff away - which may or may not be.
I just keep on value-averaging + if substantial lelong, lump sum. Simplistic approach

U may want to look at Brazil too if them funds hold Brazil - went south too.
In addition, MY & SKorea off highs too ( http://markets.on.nytimes.com/research/mar...orldmarkets.asp )

Too much variables for my blur mind to reason the Whys 

Do you have a constant time like say twice a month into value investing?

yar - every 4 mths, with fixed amount allocated,
which may or may not be used fully (or even used fully +past unused $).

U did read that Value Averaging book right?
Plan + consistency = perseverance (or good old hard headed doggedness ).

  yes.. Haha... Twinvest.. 
4 months will be my investment time too 

eh - just to clarify: TwinVest is slightly different from pure value averaging yar
TwinVest is more of VCA + DCA (and each TwinVest program has it's own built-in asset allocation).

ya, i read the book..

Twinvest is based on price invest more or less every time..
  Am I right?

What's pure value then?
