Goldman Sees More Losses
Gold futures retreated for a 10th day in the longest run of losses since 1996 as Goldman Sachs Group predicted further declines and investors sold more through funds.

Fed chair Janet Yellen told lawmakers last week that she expects officials to raise borrowing costs this year. There’s a more than 50-50 chance the Fed will increase them in September, according to St Louis Fed President James Bullard. A gauge of the US currency climbed 19% over the past year.

also there are these consideration too
General Market Risk
Any purchase of securities will involve some element of market risk. Hence, a unit trust fund may be prone to changing market conditions as a result of:

global, regional or national economic developments;
governmental policies or political conditions;
development in regulatory framework, law and legal issues
general movements in interest rates;
broad investor sentiment; and
external shocks (e.g. natural disasters, war and etc.)

Risk of Non-Compliance
This refers to the current and prospective risk to the unit trust fund and the investors’ interest arising from non-conformance with laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices and internal policies and procedures by the manager.

Manager’s Risk
The performance of any unit trust funds is dependent amongst others on the experience, knowledge, expertise and investment techniques/process adopted by the manager and any lack of the above would have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance thereby working to the detriment of Unit holders.

Annualised Funds Performance...isn't about the fund performance? which may not be the performance of your investment in that fund ....isn't?
ex......July 2014 till Nov 2014 the fund + 30%...then Dec till June 2015 fund just + 3%
if you entered in Dec, Feb, Apr, June....
i think the annualised fund performance will shows GOOD performance, but the actual performance of your investment may not be good....isn't it?
