Ringgit strengthening is in large part due to the news of TPPA, right? I suspect it will run out of steam very soon.

Received this email today.

Anybody can study this: RHB PRE-IPO & SPECIAL SITUATION FUND 3 (MYR class).

I dont quite know what it is..Need you guys' view
Is it a good UT to buy?

in particular this:
RHB-OSK Pre-IPO Fund (2011-2015), 4 years lock in period, 84% total returns for investors.

--> The last one launched made 84% in 4 years??
1 year average return 21%?? That sounds too good. betul kah?

Thanks

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)

Why Private Equity can be your alternative investment tool?

·          Superior returns (kindly refer to article above)

·          Off-market assets and privately-negotiated investments (usually available for institutional investors only)

·          The stability (illiquidity, lower volatility) and customizable nature of the financing arrangement enable private equity fund manager with more bargaining power, in terms of returns, exit strategies and downside protection measures

·          Not limited to listed securities only (where returns are generally dictated by the overall market direction)

·          Lower correlation with the stock or bond market (diversification of portfolio)

·          Illiquid nature of private equity fund “ensure” you stick to long term (5-6 years) investment plan without exit market due to emotion

This steam is on a roll here

Coming up next: Zeti replaced by a pro-bijan guy, and ringgit plunges to historic low...

Implications to local UTs?
Malaysia will use its state funds to put a floor under the country's battered stock market, though currency intervention and interest rate hikes are ruled out as tools to keep sharp falls in the ringgit in check, its deputy finance minister said.
"Every year these (domestic) pension funds are getting new funds almost close to 40-50 billion ringgit ($9.7-12.0 billion), so I think there is enough for them to continue buying while waiting for external factors to improve,"

If underweight means need to reduce allocation?

Recommend to use Bloomberg as an alternative to track NAV. So much faster. Can key in amount of units and price bought too.
