1)  Historically, only one fund that deliver that kind of performance (20+%) for 20 years.  That was the Fidelity Magellan fund when Peter Lynch was the fund manager.  By the way, after Peter Lynch retired, this fund no longer has good performance.

2) IMHO, I do not believe any fund in Malaysia is worth investing in.  The only exception is ASB for the Bumi.

3) People who makes this kind of statement (my fund makes 20% to 30% in 1 1/2 years) are usually a NOOB.  That is the WRONG way to evaluate a fund.  The proper to evaluate the fund si to use how they perform as per benchmark:

For example,

If stock market went up 30%, the fund is doing 20%  -> This is bad

If the stock market went down 10%, the fund is doing -5% -> This is great.

The fund has to do better than the market.  Or else, we should just invest on an index fund.

4) VWELX -> Vanguard Wellington fund started in 1929.  It is still one of the best balanced fund even now.
