It depends on your intended allocation lor. Those MY exposure within asia pac funds are negligible
Some argue home ground advantage ma. No doubt the local fund managers r good at beating the index and delivering consistent performance.

But crystal ball thinks otherwise. so it depends on what you believe lor

Question - what is the timeframe are you looking at exactly?

HMM KGF the evergreen fund is 100% home grown beauty

EISCF, good performance, although not ideal, 95% home grown, still a lot

Anita mui 100% home grown

Even ponzi 1 is 1/3 home grown, cukup makan

TA BRIC and Emerging Markets Fund = Total % in Americas + Africa approx. 13% of total fund holding

Eastspring Investments Global Emerging Markets Fund = Total % in Americas + Africa approx. 21% of total fund holding

RHB Emerging Markets Bond Fund = Total % in Americas + Africa approx. 18% of total fund holding

Their holding is too small to have any significant contribution to the UTF.

And the above fund suxs!

Not sure I am answering the question, EIGEMF has been a recommended fund from FSM since march, if not mistaken. And have been clocking over 2% growth each month.

Local FM such as Lee Sook Yee , Yvonne Tan et al are awesome fund manager, but it just so happen that the local market as a whole have been negatively affected by sentiments and various other global factor such as low oil price, strengthening USD, 1MDB fiasco.

While waiting for it to recover, god knows when, might as well use my mouse to click and voila, my money goes in search of better opportunity in Asia, India and US. When M'sia recover, come back again and ride on her coat tail lor.

Xuzen don't wanna be a gung-ho hero, he only a coward kiasi when it comes to investing.

By the time you realize a major storm has arrived, the market is already down 10%.

There are thousands of full time investors/traders out there. These people study news every hour. When there are good news, they buy; when there are bad news, they sell.

If you are part timer, you can't beat them to action. Even if you can, it's going to be very stressful.

So now how ? Don't invest into high risk funds, stay with lower risk balanced funds or FI funds ?

Oh, I am asking which one (1,2 or 3) is the best method...

He was saying 2 is not quite possible or is often too slow. Left with either 1 or 3 then.

LATEST NEWS, CORPORATE
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.

US market dropped >1% overnight.

I guess it is time for that....its mkts had been up quite some times....
some hope that it will continue and some don't....

How is Asian market reacting to the drop in US market ?

It will drop. That's why I just topup US amd asia pacific before leaving my room. But these are just pocket of small opportunities to topup. That's the reason I topup manually. The real opportunity will come during US election/sudden market catastrophe.

And to say adults have no time for investment (working 9-5) when I as a student leave my room at 8am and only come back only at 10 pm+ everyday still can see the news and topup
