Whats wrong with PGSF, not performing!!!!

i think you should go for far east rather than global

btw do you guys know that local fund actually did better than foreign last year?

I dun mind if it is not performing now, as I am doing the dollar-cost-averaging method. So it is actually GOOD that the price dip a little, as long as in the long run the trend is upward.

PFED is good and overtook PGSF. PGSF in red on THursday, really cant understand.
Might sell it after breakeven.

Public Mutual's Far-East Dividend Fund Inceases Fund Size for the 3rd Time  

KUALA LUMPUR 5 February 2007 - Public Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Public Mutual announced that it has obtained the approval from the Securities Commission (SC) to increase the fund size of Public Far-East Dividend Fund (PFEDF) from 3.5 billion units to 5 billion units.

To date, more than RM858 million (or more than 3.4 billion units) worth of units of PFEDF were sold. The increase in fund size of PFEDF by another 1.5 billion units will allow the company to meet strong market demand".

basically i am just a newbie trying to understand how unit trust work. i am quite interested investing in public mutual..can anyone tell me that if i wan to buy pb mutual fund where can i buy??

Might use my ang pow money to go for PFEBF or PBIAEF. not decided yet
Reason : PFEBF too far below launching price
PBIAEF = stable , less service charge, not much movement, not so scary, but earn lesser if the market boom, just like putting in FD

this is PFE not PG. From the record PFE perform better than global fund PG
