my GEYF is now - 7.3%
made a simulation....if top up same amount...NAV - 3.6%
impacted the individual GEYF but still will NOT made an impact in the overall portfolio returns.

add KGF into the stable?   

My KGF performance isn't that impressive for the past 6 months compare with ESISCF. Though both are in red.
Not sure if they will drop further, or they start to rebound.
Keyword: Sell or buy. 

My strategy to perform switching from super under performed fund to another more promising fund.

heheh - come on baby... S&P500 1700 or less!

anyhow, noticed the fall yesterday aren't as deep as last week's?
US large caps fell 20+ points after going nowhere (up/down/up/down) for most of the US morning
However, small caps (Russel 2000) was single digit drop only, also after going nowhere for most of the US morning.

I suspect the early "value" buyers - those that missed the boat for past 2 to 5 years, are buying in.
Reason - trades cant be one sided (sell) only, there must be buyers & up/down/up/down movements may be the market (ie. buyers/sellers) finding their footing.

IMHO:
Wait lar - these early "value" buyers will be shaken out for sure if the market continues MELTING down (ie. no BIG 40 points drop, just keep melting 10 to 15 points).. then it'll be mayhem 
Low volume with HUGE drops, that's the 1-2 punch.
Woohoo!

Why did you not pick the more promising fund in the first place then?

Thanks for enlighten me on this David. Back to the table, sell off or top up. Still undecided ...

Read my post No 900....

Then decide. It all depends on individual.

Eastspring Investments launches Asia Pacific ex-Japan Target Return Fund

Anyone bought this fund?

Is new fund right...saw in newspaper 21 days from Oct 10

Ask you guys opinion

I'm trying to benchmark my investment portfolio (stocks + unit trusts) return

Should I benchmark against FTSE Bursa Malaysia KL Composite Index?

The index seems easy to beat

U can try poking FSM to see if they'll release (assuming U absolve them from any legal issues for your own usage/misusage of the data)
I managed to get a few specific funds' data when i was planning out my "PM --> FSM migration" (which PM funds $ --> which FSM fund)

How to compare when you have your own entry points, and select your own time period to evaluate?

And it would be easy to beat any selected benchmark when all you need to do is buy-and-hold a fund known to have a better track record than the benchmark, and ride it up and down...

Should use a YTD figure and returns. And see whether you can improve the returns every year.

Standard comparisons to select depends on your investment acumen: FD (2-4%), EPF (4-7%), or ASB (7-9%).

Or a arbitrary 10-20% if you're super.

(All the IRR figures are in the past, and newer investments can only dilute it so much to be truly reflective on the investments in the current year. YTD on the other hand...)

ooops...for FSM HK only....  

At this moment the market is probably oversold.

If you ask me to point my finger, I would say... put your money in Asia Pac ex-Jp and US based equities fund. This is based on fund houses previous reports I read.

I have not seen anything new post correction. Will share if I come across any.
