not increase , not decrease, meaning oil price still maintain at current level...

Not necessary.
Oil price is based, not on current output level, but on what traders think to be future output level.
If traders think more agreements will be reached, and that future output level would drop, then oil price will go up now.

You know, investors/traders are super-sensitive people.

Now the question is which fund house/funds would you recommend? My investment horizon is about 5 years.
*
The popular funds in this thread (not just me, but among others as well) are:
- Kenanga Growth Fund
- Eastspring Investment Small Cap
- CIMB Principal Asia Dynamic Income Fund aka Ponzi 2.0
- CIMB Principal Global Titan Fund
- RHB Asia Total Return Fund

Among Syariah-compliant funds, the popular one is:
- Aberdeen Islamic World Equity Fund
However, this fund has been underperforming its benchmark.

BTW, what are your other investments? You may not want too much overlapping.

a forummer "Vanguard 2015" once highlighted this overlapping called "Diworsification"
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/diworsification.asp

QUOTE
The process of adding investments to one's portfolio in such a way that the risk/return trade-off is worsened. Diworsification is investing in too many assets with similar correlations that will result in an averaging effect. It occurs where risk is at its lowest level and additional assets reduce potential portfolio returns, as well as the chances of outperforming a benchmark.

The term was coined by legendary investor Peter Lynch in his book, "One Up Wall Street," where he suggested that a business that diversifies too widely, risks destroying their original business, because management time, energy and resources are diverted from the original investment.
Very confusing explanation by Investopedia shakehead.gif
Aren't 'similar correlations' and 'too widely' opposite meaning?

Let me explain... one example of diworsification is:
Sime Darby, a plantation company, diversified into banking sector by establishing Sime Bank.
As some of you probably know, Sime Darby eventually sold off Sime Bank.

OTOH, investing in funds with similar correlations (e.g. two Asia Pac equity funds) is NOT necessarily a diworsification. The key is whether those investments drain your management time, energy and resources.

BTW, how do I know if funds are correlated? Thanks again.

Get it from Morningstar. A sample is given in the attachment...
Correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1, higher value indicates more positive correlation.

Warren Buffett is betting on America. Will you bet on Tits?

QUOTE
It’s an election year, and candidates can’t stop speaking about our country’s problems (which, of course, only they can solve). As a result of this negative drumbeat, many Americans now believe that their children will not live as well as they themselves do.

That view is dead wrong: The babies being born in America today are the luckiest crop in history...

For 240 years it’s been a terrible mistake to bet against America, and now is no time to start. America’s golden goose of commerce and innovation will continue to lay more and larger eggs. America’s social security promises will be honored and perhaps made more generous. And, yes, America’s kids will live far better than their parents did.
