besides the few famous equity funds like Titan, Ponzi2, SmallCap, KGF, KAPTRF, I only have one bond fund ATR (10%). enough by having one bond fund in my portfolio?

thank you!

I think 1 is abit too risky. As mentioned in few post back, should have 4. That way, you are not dependent on only 1 fund. Say 1 or 2 funds drop, you still have other fund to cover you

This is just my opinion. Better wait for more pros answer

Depends on your strategy ma. If conservative investor, then 30% equity and 70% bond lo. If aggressive can be 70% equity and 30% bond, even 80/20 will do too. I think you are confused ady.

Btw, you should follow Pinky's advice to build a portfolio. Ask yourself what's ur risk appetite. From there, do allocation for equity and bond. Then you split your equity into a few region and do allocation accordingly. Same goes to bond. Hope it helps.

Quote from Pinky, do not pick funds. Build a portfolio.

Can consider adding a bit of Emerging market bond. But it's very Volatile. If you're not that aggressive, maybe can choose Anita mui bond.

Me no money now. Just asking around first. Well I will be sticking with the 4.

Ponzi 2 and KAPTRF overlaps, their investment mandate is quite similar

Wow u remember my words. Ayam so flattered

Yeah, it's a futile effort trying to pick the best of funds.

Those who've been with FSM long enough should remember...

Some time ago, Pacific Global Stars is the star performer among global equity funds, CIMB Global Titans and RHB Global Equity Yield were shitty performers. At that point of time, global markets were weak, Pacific outperformed because it kept having high cash holdings, and it kept changing positions i.e. it trades quite often. It's also quite heavy in Asia ex Japan compared to the latter two.

Then this situation reversed now when Developed Markets performed strongly.

Still wanna (try to) pick the best of funds?

I meant at least 4 funds, not at least 4 bond funds

The four I meant were ponzi 2.0, titans, SmallCap and kgf.

seriously

trying to invest in fund/UT now.

mind has to be positive and heart must be strong haha.
