17. What is distribution and unit split?

Distribution is similar to dividend. Its purpose is to give back return to investors. Distribution is given in cash or investors can choose to reinvest the distribution. Unit Split is to make the fund size bigger and price lower.

some popular misconceptions investors might have had with regards to the Recommended Funds List.
http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...?articleNo=3983

may i suggest that you take your time reading and preparing yourself first....(just do not take too much time reading, you need the practical hands on experience more).
example, learn about the the need to have a diversified portfolio, (some people do not want it), if you wanted a diversified portfolio, learn how to form it.....
have some basic knowledge about that before you open the FSM a/c.....because some people are pressure against the time to invest after opening the a/c because they wanted to take advantage of the new a/c benefits.

having some knowledge also helps to reduce selling off to buy other funds when they realized after a while that the purchased funds does not suit them or their portfolio....switching of funds may incur additional cost.

was curious, so I checked....
Ponzi 2.0 increase HK/China exposure by another 10% to 37.6% at the same time
Ponzi 1.0 reduce China exposure by 10% to 1.2% and is now hoarding cash at 32.6% per DEC factsheet.

“Selling a share at a loss is not tantamount to making a mistake. You may make more losses by holding on.” – Dr. Tan Chong Koay

“Do not buy when the market is too high and do not place too much value on future earnings which may never materialize. One who buys too high can only sell lower.” – Dr. Tan Chong Koay

just enhanced the believes...different FH/FM has different strategy, judgments and risk mgmt. criteria.
difficult to tell, which is better, because their moves may have / could have reversed/changed direction as of now...data are now 1 month old.

wanna closing PL calculation for the month earlier?. else must wait till Wed liao....

Asset allocation or the fund top holdings MAY be changed when the FM think that they are over valued....thus those data are not fixed.
Evaluating the potential of each asset is the job of the FM......
Rather than to rely on what worked well in the past, we think that investors should adopt a more forward-looking investment approach, focusing on investments which are poised to deliver stronger returns going forward (as a result of their current depressed valuations) rather than to be overly-focused on the winners of yesteryear. At this juncture, investors who may be tempted by the stellar returns of some individual country like US (2013), India & Indonesia (2014) may wish to consider the more favourably valued equities of the Global Emerging Markets and Asia ex-Japan regions instead; we expect their significantly lower valuations will allow them to deliver stronger upside potential vis-à-vis their developed market peers going forward.
However, developed markets should still be in one’s portfolio (albeit an underweight position given that valuation multiples there are relatively higher) as they are simply too important to ignore. Investors may refer to our star ratings to see which are the regions and markets that we are more positive on at this current juncture.

above are copy and pasted from articles in the FSM..

Key words....Seek lower valuations and hold for longer terms.
