Sorry I very noob

hi,

my shariah compliant fund
but return is so-so only.haha

Held Eastspring Investments Asia Pacific Shariah Equity Fund before. But cashed out for profit after sudden 15% rise in 1 day. Not sure want to re-enter to this fund or not.

fund	ROI %
Aberdeen Islamic World Equity Fund - Class A	0.85
AmOasis Global Islamic Equity	4.12
CIMB Islamic Asia Pacific Equity Fund - MYR	-3.12
Eastspring Investments Dana Al-Ilham	0.91
Pheim Asia Ex-Japan Islamic Fund	-2.20

Thanks for sharing.

Ya return usually so-so only. But what to do. Am looking at 3-5y investment window. Else I just put in ASB.

Try Kenanga Syariah or Affin Hwang Aiiman instead

personally not looking into MY funds.. not until end of this year/after 1MDB saga clears out.

i've been topping up the CIMB fund and the Amoasis fund slowly. probably until end of year.

Oil’s Below $50 and About to Get Worse

Oil has fallen to a six-month low, and hopes of a quick rebound are fading as demand heads into an autumn swoon.

Brent crude tumbled below $50 on Monday for the first time since January. Gasoline fell the most in almost three years.

The slump may have further to go. U.S. refineries, which turned a record amount of crude into gasoline during July, typically slow down from August through October for maintenance.

China Dethroned as World’s Most Liquid Stock Market After Curbs

China has lost its title as the world’s most liquid stock market as trading halts and regulatory efforts to curb bearish transactions drive away investors.

Daily turnover on mainland exchanges has averaged the equivalent of $202 billion over the past 30 days, down from $288 billion at the start of July. After exceeding turnover on U.S. bourses for about a month through July 8, the value of shares traded in China is now $72 billion lower than in America. Volume in Shanghai on Tuesday was 36 percent below the 30-day average.

anyone invested in Affin Hwang Select SGD Income fund? MYR or SGD fund is better?

PMB Syariah Aggressive Fund is good for the said time. Good time to buy now also since the NAV has just been adjusted after SAF financial year ended.

is NAV really that important to decide to invest or not?

For me, the good time to top up is when NAV goes lower than average NAV for say one or two weeks time. YMMV. It's subjetive. Small or huge top up amount, it still makes difference. Every 0.01% change must be considered. Heheh.

i thought NAV has no impact on fund performance?

i mean buying a fund with very high NAV or very low NAV shouldn't matter right? as long as their ROI in % is good

Yepp correct.

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.”

What does annualized volatility mean?

those who opt to buy low NAV funds just because they think it has reach the "bottom" shouldn't invest in UT at all

try this?
