In unit trust investing, NEVER bother about dividends. Go read Post #1 thoroughly.

Dividends are irrelevant. UT investors are concerned with TOTAL GROWTH.

I suggest u to compare this fund to

CIMB-Principal Asia Pac Dynamic Income
Kenanga Asia Pac Total Return
Pheim Asia ex Japan
Hwang Select Asia ex Japan Opportunity
Eastspring Investments Asia Pac Equity

See which one u like better?

See their investment mandate, past returns, benchmark, performance vs benchmark, performance vs peers, volatility and so on

I personally like the CIMB fund

They're different creatures

AMB Dividen Trust is 70% Malaysia + 30% Asia ex Japan

The other funds I suggested and the one u looked at is UNRESTRICTED Asia fund

If u dun wan a rollercoaster ride...invest in a portfolio of at least 4-5 funds. Then u can practically leave ur investments in autopilot, treat it as supplement to EPF savings.

Kenanga Growth, AMB Dividen Trust, Hwang Select Opportunity, Eastspring Equity Income, they're more or less similar creatures.

Don't buy 2-3 funds that has similar investment mandate just because they are strong performers:
- past performance will not necessarily repeat in future
- what goes up (too much/fast) will most likely fall
- don't put all eggs in one basket. in this case, if Malaysian equities kaboom, so will your portfolio

Learn how to build a portfolio

If u believe in what xuzen preaches, u MAY invest a large chunk (perhaps 33-50%?) in a Malaysian equity fund, then the rest spread over a Asian equity fund, a global equity fund, a small/mid cap Asia fund...

FSM favours a more diversified approach, no one fund will have more than 20% allocation.

See your preference...I'm more biased toward FSM approach because I also have also invested on my own in Malaysian stocks, so for my UT portfolio, it's diversified like FSM's
