thanks for the highlighting....just confirm with FSM.
YOU are correct...I already amended the original post to reflect the latest correct info.

i maybe wrong, but I think a few weeks back...there was a question about the number of "TUNs" in Malaysia...
"85 carry the title of ‘Tun’ with 42 Seri Maharaja Mangku Negara award holders and another 43 who received Seri Setia Mahkota award".

my portfolio stopped "cheong"...
why it cannot keep on "on Viarga" for a few more months?.....

not according to this guy...

"The yuan's "inclusion is unlikely to have great impact on short-term demand" for the currency, said IG market strategist Bernard Aw in a report. "What's more important is perhaps the boost to President Xi's efforts to liberalise China's financial markets."

WOW...that is something new....

I would suggest......(phrase taken from article)
"Investing always carries an element of risk. It is paramount to always keep tabs on your life’s circumstances and finances to evaluate the amount of risk you can take before committing to an investment".

try understand your true self and the risk involved first, only then decide.
your questions and the answers that you seek maybe different between investors.
try reading this first while waiting for more responses....

BTW,....(as for me) I would not want to touch EPF for investment. I find that my risk appetite, risk reward seeking does not warrant me to try to seek the possible few % better ROI from the 5.5%....(but others would)

with 15% in Bolehland and 14% in Greater China.....not a good news to read the 1st thing in the morning ....

just hope this might gives you some encouragement......
........... while investors into Asian markets might be feeling blue this year, have faith! Markets will not always stay down forever. And times like that when viewed in the lens of history may prove to have been good opportunities for buying in.

Patience is needed right now from investors who are already invested into Asian markets. Historically, being invested into Asian markets are their current valuations have always delivered good returns over the next two to three years. Volatility can be very much expected though, especially given that western market valuations are higher at this stage.

Just a reminder as well, as we near the end of the year, it is a good time to look at your portfolios to rebalance them and make sure they are well diversified.

i have BOTH of this fund....EQ and FI same pain....
when they falls...BOTH are as HARD and PAINful.
xuzen is right when he said recently...some BOND funds are as volatile as EQ funds....

btw, i entered that BOND fund on 17 Nov...that is why i monitored it and realized that xuzen is right.

Already diversified to FI and EQ......Need to diversify to reduce volatility AGAIN?
