South Korea Stocks Fall Most in Four Months on Economic Concerns

South Korean stocks dropped the most since January after HSBC Holdings Plc cut its forecast for the nation’s economic growth and concern a U.S. interest-rate increase is imminent spurred foreign selling. The won slumped.

The Kospi fell 1.7 percent to close at 2,107.5, the biggest loss since Jan. 6. The won weakened 0.4 percent as a plunge in the yen spurred concern the Bank of Korea will intervene to protect the nation’s exporters. Samsung Electronics Co. slid 3.5 percent and Hyundai Motor Co., the country’s biggest carmaker, which directly competes with Japanese rivals in overseas markets, declined 1.9 percent.

Yuan Now Most-Used in Asia for Payments to China, Swift Says

Nasdaq sets record, Dow up triple digits as stocks rebound; Greece eyed

U.S. stocks closed higher on Wednesday, recovering from Tuesday's selloff, as encouraging Greece headlines boosted investor sentiment amid a slight pause in the dollar and yield climb. ( Tweet This )

There's "some positive feeling (on) rumors that Greece may be reaching a deal," said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Boston Private Wealth. "It's a snapback from yesterday's selling (and) less concern about an interest rate hike. ... I thought yesterday was a little bit extreme."

The Nasdaq jumped nearly 1.5 percent to end above its previous closing high of 5,092.09. The index lost 1.1 percent on Tuesday. Apple (AAPL) and the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) (IBB) each gained about 1.9 percent.

Good choice actually if you like mostly local funds but too many overlap. My choice would be below

KAF Vision Fund - Malaysia small cap - large cap dynamic allocation
Eastspring Investment Small-Cap Fund - Malaysia small cap
Kenanga Growth Fund - Malaysia large cap
CIMB-Principal Global Titans Fund - Developed countries large cap
CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund - Asia xJap large cap
Affin Hwang Select Asia (Ex Japan) Quantum Fund - Asia xJap small cap
RHB-OSK Islamic Bond Fund - Malaysia
RHB-OSK Emerging Market Bond Fund - EM
RHB-OSK Asian Total Return Fund - Asia xJap

last few weeks...all red
last week..1 red
now all green and increased rapidly
KGF now green....may not be a good time to topup despite 1%...should have topup few weeks back

invest directly from iFast?

i actually see yearly return for past 5 years (not average past 5 years). didn't really see where they invest. so that's why overlap.
