due to Asia x Jpn funds in your portfolio?.......
the attached data from FSM shows Asia X Jpn funds returns in your portfolio holding not good leh for Aug
I thought fixed income funds are supposed to stabilise the portfolio or reduce losses when EQ market corrected like recently?

My portfolio gain for August didn't come from Asia ex Japan. I have nearly 20% in CIMB GTF and Aladdin fund.

Is repurchase fee the same as redemption fee?

  was browsing over some old postings...noticed your MOM returns..
in Aug there are some major global selloff....and yet your portfolio ROI and IRR just got affected by
0.3 and 0.1% respectively when compared to July....
     

whereelse yklooi got affected by a large %.
July IRR 4.13, ROI 9.16
Aug IRR 2.42, ROI 5.52

kimyee73 may I know how much is your M.O.M portfolio affected?
I maybe wrong..i guess you cannot beat David83's, in terms of portfolio stability....
btw, any regulars here got their M.O.M portfolio IRR beatings David83's portfolio's stability?
can share your portfolio % of allocation kah? 

The thing about Malaysia is that the capital market is deeper there, so there’s less reliance on foreign capital among corporates or banks to fund their growth,” said Kyran Curry, S&P’s director of sovereign ratings in Singapore. “Indonesia is much more vulnerable to shifts in outflows and inflows. We’re worried about Indonesia’s foreign-exchange reserves.”

Malaysia’s economy is on a sounder footing than Indonesia’s, said Stuart Allsopp, head of Asia country risk and financial markets strategy at BMI Research in Singapore. Malaysia recorded a current-account surplus of US$1.8 billion in the second quarter at the current exchange rate, while Indonesia posted a deficit of $4.48 billion, official data show. In contrast to Indonesia, Malaysia also has a positive net international investment position, said Allsopp.

Emerging market stocks stumbled to the lowest in almost two weeks on Monday with many Asian bourses suffering steep losses, dragged down by another sharp fall in Chinese mainland shares, while currencies across the asset class chalked up losses.

MSCI's broadest emerging market index fell more than 1 percent after China stocks closed as much as 3.4% down on the day as the sell-off continued in the aftermath of a four-day market holiday.

Nowadays we are worried about pretty much everything that comes out of China," said Cristian Maggio, head of emerging markets strategy at TD Securities.

"And the overall sentiment continues to be negative, which surprises in the extension of the move, many of these currencies have sold off by over 10 percent in just a few weeks."
