HI All PM members, Guru's,

Need some advice. My PM agent met with my dad and myself yesterday and informed that PNREF is closing on 2nd Feb 2016 we were advised to either continue with DDI /RII or switching from other fund - bond to this PNREF fund before it closes. Currently in loses due to the global market condition

As for myself my capitals are low around 20 K so I am considering switching from my other bond fund and will continue DDI on monthly basis. However for my dad he has 200 K plus and the agent was suggesting to DDI btw 1K- 10 K every month or switch 50 K from a bond fund he has to average down and continue monthly DD1 in smaller amount. He is considering switching from the bond fun now.

Is this a good move ? What are the risk involved ? Since this is huge amount of money I'm concerned if we are making the right decision. This was meant to be his retirement funds which I was hoping will help him in later days.

I am seeking some clarity as which could be the safest way of not losing much more and hopefully choose the right action to sustain until it can break even. Is it advisable to average natural resources now by switching from bond or make a standing instruction to make monthly deduction to average it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I doubt anyone here can give you a reasonable answer as each investor has his own financial objective, and buys the appropriate fund to achieve that objective. And each fund is different from another in terms of risk and volatility, and a foreign fund has an additional risk over a local fund in currency risk.

(Yesterday's and today's strenthening of the ringgit against USD and other currencies have immediate impact on the nav prices. But how it will be in future or near future - who knows for sure... it will take either a brave or a fool to say this or that fund is the right fund that we should hold.)

In general, you will need to review the reason(s) why you had initiated on PNREF over other funds, or maybe it is one of many funds. Review why the investment was that way before, and decide whether to continue on or not by reviewing what circumstances have changed since then.

Personally, as I'm a consevative investor, I stay away from China funds and PNREF, and maybe Indonesia fund too.

The maybe in Indonesia fund was because the Indonesia fund has very high volatility and it is very persuasive to get it & out for some fast gains. Or fast lost if I got it wrong.  smile.gif
