Do's and Don'ts of Choosing a Unit Trust Fund
•Don't choose any unit trust fund just because its performance was good. Instead, make sure the fund meets your risk appetite and financial goals.

to be frank....I think most of the Equities Funds around the world are also affected in 2008....some had recovered aggressively and some had not.....
use the morning star tools to see their performance......

but please take a note,....
"Don't choose any unit trust fund just because its performance was good. Instead, make sure the fund meets your risk appetite and financial goals"
"Those performance data are historical data....that means it may not reflects their possible future performance".
"What is "Better fund" now; May be the worst fund too the next year".

if you are interested in the PB/PM monthly funds review can get it from here

"if there's a better fund than this"?......yes (and no) ...it depends on what you seek 

btw,...I think you need to pay X% Sales charge when you switch from the current FI to Growth fund..have a thought about it.

Their good bond fund are mostly closed for new capital injection......

Before 1 August 2016, I can safely conclude that none of the EPF MIS investment into public mutual funds in the past 5 years exceeded EPF's own returns. This is not even taking the sales charge into consideration

From 1 August 2016 however, more funds are approved as MIS investments and therefore the conclusion may be different. So I've been telling people to either
1) don't use EPF investments to invest in Public Mutual; or
2) switch funds into the higher returns ones - Public Small Cap and PIOF which historically have done better, and pray that it would exceed EPF returns

Hmm, suddenly so many people want to withdraw from PM. Can I claim credit for tarnishing their reputation? 

Well, if the top management of Public Mutual thinks the comments in forum and fintech means nothing... let them lor; I firmly believe in market forces in a free market
The ones who don't adapt to the new norm would be the one to be left behind, no matter how big and important you are

I have other investments. This is just to main2. I dont mind higher risk. Hopefully can get higher return. The agent is my sisters fren. So, had to go with him. Plus Public Mutual won a lot of awards, surely stability is there in the company.

Thanks for the links bro! Will study and learn more about unit trust )))
