I don't monitor my UT investment daily, but I know there are some people here who compute IRR everyday
Anyway, back to correlation coefficient...
Portfolio A - 1 Asia ex Japan fund which makes up 40% of the portfolio
Portfolio B - 2 Asia ex Japan funds, each makes up 20% of the portfolio
Portfolio B is more diversified, and the two funds are positively correlated, but I don't see a problem with it.

Bro, Monday is a public holiday. You can ask CIS on Tuesday. Please share their advice here if possible. Would they advise that:-
1. You have deworsified?
2. Over traded?
3. Did not follow VA or RSP?
Without knowing your investor profile, I suspect the main problem is No. 1 above. This means you are buying too many funds which have a high degree of correlation. My own definition of high is 0.85 positive correlation and above.
An e.g. of deworsification is when Fund A is selling Maybank at RM8 because he thinks it is too expensive. Fund B is buying Maybank at RM8 because he thinks it is cheap.
As an investor, you are holding both Fund A and Fund B in your portfolio and paying the transaction costs for this Maybank deal. So what do you get at the end of the day? 1-1 = 0
