If your interest is solely for diversification because EIGEM has exposure to Russia, Brazil, India, etc. then you can consider this fund.

But speaking for myself, I am not a fan of EIGEM. I already have Ponzi 2 which has high exposure to China. EIGEM has an exposure of more than 39% in Greater China. So I see no reason to buy EIGEM. The Sharpe ratio of EIGEM is 0.03 and its performance for the past 5 years is not so good.

I know some forumers here have EIGEM in their portfolio. Well, different investors have different perspectives.

Quality of posts here nowadays is really different from what they used to be. I remember few years back (i.e. 2012) we get lots of distribution questions etc. Now it's more like a sharing session.

I think this is going to be brutal year. The priority here is capital preservation. Forget about making double digit return.

I consider it a bonus if I can get single digit return using FD as the benchmark.

I'll do (1) on selective funds as I have some bullets.

story time...may not be useful.
On 4 Jan morning, i sold off HSAO and H Jpn Growth funds...direct from Hw office.
on 11 Jan i got the proceed for sales of HSAO banked into my a/c.
(7 days)
The proceed of HJGF is till not in today. (already 8 days & counting)

How many days does FSM need to do it?

i like reading this thread. More insights to learn compared to the ASB/ASW thread.

In that thread, if any guy successfully top up 1k into their account, 10 postings asking which bank/branch, which counter, what time, 1 trial or multiple trials, and another 10 postings congrat the guy well done, and why so lucky.

The quality of that thread very low.

T+4 exactly

Checkers players VS Chess players - of courselar here more oomph..
Over there only "fixed income" and main tikam (can get/cannot get)
Here, asset allocation lar,
diversification via time, assets sub-assets lar,
fear vs greed check & controls (or leveraging on those) lar,
etc. 

Ahem, the asset allocation within the fund is 75% or more in equity ok...
But yes, not much difference with fund you go with in terms of returns

Even after multiple reminders most still think it's FD equivalent and capital guaranteed

Most fund houses state T+10 for redemption in their prospectus. Anything earlier than that is a bonus .  

mind sharing with us which funds you meant there?
appreciate your view, thanks
