Greetings.

We are extremely happy to tell you that RHB PRE-IPO & SPECIAL SITUATION FUND 3 (MYR class) has now launched and it is available for subscribe in our platform before 18 November 2015, 3 p.m. This is a closed-ended fund that invests in private equities. The fund is managed with the goal of achieving superior long term investment returns by opportunistically investing in pre-IPO (50%) and special situation deals (50%).Specifically, the fund targets to invest in securities of listed and/or non-listed companies and/or other assets including but not limited to pre-IPO private equity investments (both early and late stage pre-IPO deals), asset back investments, portfolio acquisition and specialized financing with features of downside protection and upside sharing.

In terms of geographical allocation, the fund’s initial target allocation will be 50% in ASEAN, 30% in North Asia and the remaining 20% in the rest of the world (a heavy overweight position in Asia and Emerging Markets). However, the fund’s geographical allocation may be adjusted from time to time at the discretion of the Fund Manager. (read more on Private Equity)

These funds only got small exposure to Indonesia

Question: with IRR <4% for >2 years, don't you have any home loan? Isn't it better to just leave the money in the home loan account?

Question: when you guys report the IRR or ROI is it in net terms meaning already deducted the SC?

Good question.....but as UTs is an investment.....one just does not know how the end results goes...mainly due to some pre informed risks associated with investment....like an example....
"General Risks of Investing in Unit Trust Funds"
http://www.cimb-principal.com.my/Investor_...rust_Funds.aspx
sometimes for some people...their IRR can be much higher than the housing loan rate/personal loan rate.....
sometimes for some people...their IRR can be much lower than the fixed deposit rate/saving account rate....
sometimes for some people...their IRR can be in negative numbers too......
I think that same can goes to any investment.....
I guess best is go for a few investment types and be in mind of one risk appetite and emotional limitations

alamak..almost forget...unless 100% sure, never use borrowed money to invest....(this includes money intended for housing loan repayment)

Not sure about others,....as for me, I calculated from amount invested (including SC). I think some people calculated it (excluding SC).

Measuring The Risks In Unit Trust Investing
By: Fundsupermart.com

In this article, we share with you how you can measure risk using three simple measures when investing in unit trusts.

Investors often focus on performance when deciding on which unit trust to buy. While this is an important consideration, investors should take note of other factors as well. One such factor to consider is the risk of investing into a particular unit trust. This is because markets can be volatile and uncertain, thus knowing the risk level of a specific unit trust will help investors to decide if it suits their risk profile.

if i report my irr, roi, yes... factored in

I think normal top up should not affect IRR much but mine is like doubling the amount invested in some of the funds.
As for the amateur fund manager, how much is he charging? You should ask him for more detail like his IRR volatility.
