I am still holding some PM funds too, dating from early 2000s. I think if I transferred everything to FSM, I would be a platinum account holder already...

Main benefit right now is that I have a platinum credit card issued by Public Bank and offered by Public Mutual. I wonder if they would cancel my card if I moved everything away.

Pretty amazing month for me so far too, but more due to local stockmarket picks than FSM funds.

Nothing especially clever I am afraid. I have quite a bit in both UOAREIT and YTLREIT and both have gone up quite a bit this month. I have held both for a very long time now. Combined with the REIT dividends received this month, it adds up to quite a bit.

Does anyone know if there is any easy way to compare the performance of lots of different funds on FSM compared against their respective benchmarks, as opposed to absolute returns, annualized returns etc.?

Chart centre only compares funds you select against indices that you select, right? I mean a way to see a list of funds and their performance against the benchmark selected by the fund's managers themselves in order to quickly see which managers are able to consistently beat their own benchmark. Some funds use benchmarks that draw from more than one index, so it isn't really possible to use chart centre to do this anyway.

Strange to talk about tips in the FSM thread. Surely you mean for individual stocks?

Hmm...

You know, virtually every fund in FSM that invests internationally underperforms its stated benchmark, sometimes by a very large margin. Feeder funds generally underperform more. It's kind of annoying to me. I think it's mostly due to the fees involved. I chose FSM because, well, it's very convenient. But I wonder if for the sums I have available, it wouldn't make more sense for me to open an account with a large US-based fund company and buy their ETFs instead.

CIMB Global Titans doesn't declare MSCI World Index as its benchmark, though, it uses a complex combination of different benchmarks and fails it.

KAF Global Equity Fund is another fund that fails its benchmark.

Pheim Asia Ex-Japan Islamic is a weird one. It beats MSCI Asia Ex-Japan but it actually declares a flat annualized 7% as its benchmark and fails that.

I didn't buy CIMB Asia Pacific Dynamic Income. Why you guys never tell me when you buy?

I asked FSM if they had an alternative to RHB-OSK Global Multi Manager which has been doing well recently but underperforms its index. They replied today. One of their suggestions is RHB-OSK Global Allocation Fund which seems to have even worse performance and also underperforms its index!

Depends. Do you think the MYR will fall even further against the USD?

Cash Management Fund rate keeps going up.

Yeah, markets are unpredictable. US was red yesterday and oil was down. But suddenly today everything green.
