Eastspring GEM also has some HK/China and ASEAN stocks which Affin Hwang Asia Quantum and CIMB Dynamite Income might/can have.

But up to 40% of Eastspring GEM are exposed to "pure" EM markets like middle east, Africa, Emerging Europe, Russia, Latin America etc which the other 2 funds are not exposed to

jutamind u trying to build a portfolio?

Today Asian markets red red

Don't wait for Saturday 0.5% discount, top up now!

Hmm, received email saying that KAF Global Equities Fund is going to be terminated due to small fund size. It actually has been performing decently.

U also wanna invest in UT?

Why not follow Unker gark invest directly in Indomee and Kiasuland stocks?

U can easily replicate its portfolio actually with 2 (lagi power) funds

33-36% - CIMB Global Titans
64-67% - CIMB Asia Pac Dynamite Income

Voila!

See oil price and MYR:USD forex rate...



really wanna move RM to other currencies liao

Affin Hwang SGD fund?

Eh? Apa?

Anyway you can have all kinds of international exposure via ETF with a much much lower management fees. 

That's what I was planning to do. But I think US valuations a bit on the high side now so I switched to Aberdeen Islamic World instead.

Wong Seafood,

After drinking a hot soup of ABC for dinner, I've had that same though as yours...

Now is already too late to run
Run now = Sell low (Ringgit), buy high (USD/SGD)

Thanks for giving me the confidence to hold station

Additional thought...

Buy Ruble?

If you think it through, EPF withdraw is only done every quarter.  Not everyone is that tech savvy. Besides, she only prompt me four times in a year. Is that excessive?

Perhaps I didn't put it correctly n you misunderstood my intent being more focused on balls and reminders.

Though I check my portfolio every morning and read up on business news, there is always that gap and missed opportunity. An agent is the investors extended hand, otherwise why pay the premium and not just use FSM.

Ruble will go down further if they default. I hope not a repeat of 1998 all over again. More hedging please..

Just to show that CIMB Global Titans tracks the 3 markets (US+Europe+Japan) quite well

That is not good. We need it to outperform the 3 markets.

How could u possibly outperform ALL 3?

The fund is a composite of the 3 markets. As long as its performance is above the sum average of the 3, considered good already.

Unless u so pro can forecast when US is overheated, u move to Japan...
When Japan overheated, u move to Europe...
...and on and on and on

God of Investment meh

The outperformance not enough to cover for the fees?

Haha.. you comparing a blended fund with index... if you take the same blend, maybe you will see a different picture.

Also not all ETF is the same. 

That's what I was planning to do. But I think US valuations a bit on the high side now so I switched to Aberdeen Islamic World instead.

Considered decent lor

I'm just trying to say, there ARE actively managed funds that can AT LEAST track index

you are too serious, lighten up a bit, would be more fun that way. I get your serious reply in the other thread as well 

How about dividens? ETF pays em.. index do not. 

Here is the performance of S&P 500 index fund I own... big difference from what you draw out.  They have divvy yield of 1.83% as well.

500 Index Fund Inv (Annualized) 
1 Year : 13.51% 
3 Year : 20.22%
5 Year : 15.28% 
10 Year : 7.55%
Inception : 11.10%

You can see the results here.
