TA Investment Management declares one-for-five unit split for technology fund

KUALA LUMPUR: (Oct 11): TA Investment Management Bhd, a subsidiary of TA Securities Holdings Bhd, has declared a unit split for its TA Global Technology Fund.

Registered unit holders as of Oct 10 will receive one new unit for every five held, the company said in a statement today.

The fund aims to seek long term capital appreciation by investing in a collective investment scheme, which invests mainly in a globally diversified portfolio of technology-related companies.

TA Investment Management said the relative valuation of the technology sector is attractive, especially given balance sheet strength.

“Meanwhile, technology companies face significant secular changes in enterprise demand, coupled with the maturation of the PC and smartphone markets.

“Therefore, we continue to focus bottom-up on powerful secular themes and growth at a reasonable price,” it added.

wow what happened , TA global technology fund lost 13% in one day.

My fault didn't investigate first.

Yesterday Asian Market dropped kaw kaw but Ponzi 2 still rose about 1.35%

So today still up up and up? @@

Is it? I checked the NAV just now, it's 0.3112 on tuesday, yesterday Asian Market got into red but it rose to 0.3154. What a great pump up huh?

and i topped up yesterday 

Something to remember when you try to time the market - For foreign funds forex plays an important role on top of the ups and downs in various equity markets
In fact forex would have more certainty in predicting if the fund would go up/down than the market indexes because the fund may or may not invest in the indexed stocks and the weightage in each top holding and market is also dynamic. The only information you have is fact sheet which is at least 1 month old

My simple solution to that is, I don't try to time the market, because I suck at it
Hmm, the answer to this question is rather complex

Each class would be translated to its denominated currency on daily basis

So although the exchange rate for 13/10/15 and 13/10/16 for USD:SGD is identical, in between there were lots of fluctuations and the transactions took place during the year would be affected by those fluctuations

The only instance where it would be exactly the same would be during the RM pegging of USD at 3.8 because there were no forex movement in the whole year.

Hope that makes sense
Anyway, is this an important consideration? The SGD and USD class as I understand is to be distributed by CIMB in other Asean countries instead of Malaysia. If you invest in the MYR class just focus on the MYR performance lor

Now we know who has platinum status 
And I have to say this, your % of holdings in gold & general times with 750k 
Well, last time lukenn always post graphs with forex to show how much of the gains came from forex

A good place to do that is bloomberg as you can plot the feeder fund, the source fund and the forex in one chart

To be honest, I think you missed the boat if you want to ride on the forex gain. Do you think we will hit USD1:RM5 anytime soon? If it's just 4.4, the gain would be rather minimal

I presume the impact, if any is due to knee jerk reaction
Thus, bau if investment is for mid to long term

it wouldn't be much compared to the double digits that some funds invest in Thailand.

that said it will be a knee jerk reaction as they already slated the crown prince to take over and not the Princess.

if the Princess takes over rest assured she will mobilize the army and spark another civil war.

This comes from my friend living in Thailand and he will move back to Malaysia if this scenario happens.

everyone thinks the thais really love their king but in truth the king has been hated by the poor thais as he is anti democratic and an elitist.

starting today everyone in Thailand must wear black. failure to doing so will get you beaten up and sent to jail. my friend's family is anti monarchy and rightly so.

the palace and junta have to out the crown prince on the throne as he is next in line eventho everyone hates him due to his wild parties and etc. NOT putting him on the throne will anger the royatlist. putting the Princess on the throne will make the poor happy but the junta is against it.

My point was already mentioned in the previous post.

The three funds are separate entities, there is no way to emulate Ponzi 2.0 + RHB ATR with RHB AIF.

If one wants to invest only RHB AIF for longer term, he might as well instead invest in RHB ATR due to no service charge.

If one wants to invest in Ponzi 2.0, that's a separate risk accessment, an independent exposure, comes with it's risks and gains.

people are afraid now that the leash has broken. the junta and the poor will begin another clash. remember there's almost a thousand red shirts unaccounted for and nobody knows where they have gone.

Anyways not to derail the topic, investors are looking at both news from ground level and it is not a pretty sight. if the palace doesn't short this out and a civil war erupts, fsm will be sure to give it a bad rating.

oh well that's life. let us focus on unit trusts. I derailed the topic enough.

This comparison is helpful. But I guess because there is no rebalancing throughout, as such we have removed the most realistic portion of the evaluation.

If we look at the history more than 3 years ( where human-dependent rebalancing were carried out ), in reality, the RHB AIF has become very closed to RHB ATR.

I am a student / follower of Markowitz's Modern Portfolio Theory. What you mention above = siapa punya teori ar?

Xuzen

I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. All I was saying that your comparison of portfolio 1 vs portfolio 2 is not realistic in the sense it is not conveying the true picture, because you have fixed the ratio of ponzi 2.0% and RHB ATR % vs the dynamic (internal) rebalancing within the RHB AIF itself.

So when you use these charts to drawing a conclusion, your conclusion might be skewed.

Below is copy & pasted post I wrote in Feb 2015. Read see if you can understand better what are risk - adjusted return performance measurement tools are.

I have a few queations regarding RHB ATRF
(i) can the return be (-)/at FD board rate after holding say 1 year?
(ii) can it give min 7% or it will be less? (I am using rhb islamic bond fund as a benchmark for stable yearly returns)

Actually I am looking for bond fund which can give min >=7%. No point buying one if it can give lower returns than the proven rhb islamic bond fund which can give 7% p.a when both are bond fund. Who cares about where/how it invest. As long as the returns match one's expected return (in this case RHB IBF). After all, end of the day, it's all about making money.

Returns not bad, but have the returns dim below 7% p.a (the table shows not) but I would like to hear from fellow forumers.

if I am SURE that you don't need to use the money in the next 12 months....
(I will allocate my funds to ensure that I don't need the money)
worst come to worst...pay the redemption fees....

I would go for the RHB IBF....
VERY MUCH lower volatility, continuously progressing at pace....
(But, there is always a risks for this type of BOND fund....the quality of its holdings.....how many % AAA, AA, etc,etc...)
study and compare them with other FHs.....why others did not have such good returns? how is their holdings?
Few years ago, i shown RHB IBF holdings to another FM......he said, some of the holdings in RHB IBF failed their preliminary buying assessment...
he continue by saying,....that is why RHB IBF can gives better returns,.....if you can stomach the possible debt default risks...go for it.

RHB ATRF......only the last 2 + yrs performing....most probably due to the RM depreciating.....

my take is the RHB ATRF, splendid performance may not repeat in the next 2 years......
but if you look at the IRR...it is still showing "GOOD"

I believe he meant, they have a criteria to assess the quality of the debt papers. (RAM Rating....)
sort of bank assessment of the loan applications....
