Idea Of The Week: Two Misunderstandings Equity Investors Commonly Have About Funds[30 Apr]


There are investors who still hold common misunderstandings toward unit trusts. Many of them are stock buyers who value fund investments based on their stock investment experience, give up on unit trusts and go for stocks before they truly master the concept of unit trusts. The following are two common misperceptions on funds.

1. Unit trusts only suit elderly people.
2. Unit trusts are only for long-term holding.
In this "Idea of the Week" segment, we explain these misunderstandings.

Investors flee US stocks at financial-crisis levels

Many investors appeared to ditch American stock funds in April, in the biggest exodus since the financial crisis. But far from taking that as a bad sign, some investors view the news as an indication that stocks have more room to run.

In April, U.S. equity mutual funds and ETFs saw outflows of $35.8 billion, according to TrimTabs. That's the biggest move away from American stocks since October 2008. And the bearish tone is confirmed by the flows in the leveraged ETF space, where leveraged short ETFs saw an increase in assets of 4.6 percent, while leveraged long ETFs saw assets dip by 2.5 percent.

It's Time to Get Ready for the End of China's Bull Market

The bull market turned 883 days old on Tuesday, topping China’s previous record by 56 days, after a 119 percent surge in the Shanghai Composite Index since December 2012. Even if the advance is measured from June 2013 -- when the gauge narrowly avoided a bear-market drop of 20 percent -- it’s still the second longest since Chinese bourses opened for trading in 1990.
