If yes,...then the upside is for my MY funds .....if not...

some would also like to consider this 17.08...maybe they are not up to it....eventhough they wanted good ROI...

Eric Wong, Head of Research at Lipper, a Thomson Reuters Company, in Hong Kong, reminds investors not to overly emphasize on “returns” and neglect other aspects of fund performance. “Investors tend to focus on the return of funds in their selection process. They should also consider how funds manage their risk or volatility and preserve their capital. Also, if investors plan to invest for a longer time horizon, fund expense should be under their consideration. Assuming all other factors constant, high fund expense can erode the returns of funds over time.”

some people thinks the other way too...
Foolish Summary

Although I have to admit that there are fund managers in the market who have managed to consistently outperform the market, think long-term, and be true contrarians, they are far from the norm and few in numbers. That’s why we have to understand that the best fund manager to manage our money is perhaps, always ourselves.

Confessions Of A Hedge Fund Manager
......Something in the air

I was recently invited to a private seminar in Singapore at which an old acquaintance, hedge fund manager, Lars Kroijer, was the guest speaker. The audience was primarily made up of hedge fund managers.
.........Lars’ seminar was going swimmingly until he dropped the bombshell of the afternoon. He told the audience that most investors, including professional money managers, cannot beat the market.

Understanding Risks & Returns of Bonds February 11, 2009
Different bond classes exhibit different risk and return profiles. The correlations between bond classes also differ. An investor who understands the differences can make a more appropriate allocation between different bond funds to form a portfolio matching their risk appetite.

how long had you had this portfolio?
isn't it usually profit value should be bigger than IRR value if invested > 1 yr?
ex...
ROI 10% 3 yrs = abt 3.x% irr
ROI 20% 5 yrs = abt 3.x% irr
am I correct?

so if the next time my brokers said...."Most of the stocks that I hold has an IRR of > 20%"
I know what it can means too....

what do you think now....about when the maths is correct then is it obvious that IRR can be used as a meaningful representation even if the investment is less than 1 year?

how many % points does KLCI dropped the last few days?

guess this is the magic of portfolio diversification.....

if i can feel the shit storm is coming, instead of moving to FI, I would sell all and keep cash in CMF...then wait for redeployment as FI could be affected too.
