In theory one may think that he would entail greater autonomy to invest separately into three UTF from three different UTMC, namely CIMB China or Manulife India and RHB Indonesia. But consider this, each time you rebalance your portfolio, you incur sales charge. This is foolish!
If that is the case, a wiser man, would consider, suppose I buy into RHB China-India-Indonesia fund with one time sales charge and let the FM do the rebalancing without further encountering sales charge. This is wiser!
Suppose another wiser man, thinking perhaps I wish to maintain autonomy and do not wish to further incur sales charge.
Such wise man then uses the "wrap account" mechanism and writes his own algorithm to assist him to optimally asset allocate between the three geographical risky asset class.

Wise words! Copied this down for reference.

I have just make use of Boss Vanguard's credit ninja trick. So excited to see credits from switches for the first time in my portfolio. Cool!
I switched out from those EQ UT that I wanted to drop into Bond funds first. But I only did that to EQ that is currently in the red. The rest in green I no touch first until I see red then only switch out. Yesterday did one intra-switch and tonight one inter-switch. That inter-switch one is not exactly in the red but since it is a very small sum so I taruk lor. Wanted to buy into Libra Asnita Bond fund fast fast.

Timely reminder there. So assuming I didn't quite missed the boat and currently has 16% IRR for this fund. What's your recommendation, hold or sell? USD n SGD inching higher
Selling a reasonably healthy fund seems to be counter intuitive to me
1. The RHB ATR feeds into the SGD class
2. I think he was talking about the gains in 2014-2015 mainly came from forex gains against SGD, and USD (RMB loosely pegged to USD); hence why missed the boat if you try to buy it in 2016.
As a result, the investment horizon may not be so critical here
The United Asian Bond (SGD) class returns as attached
[attachmentid=7515900]
The longer term annualised return is still about 6%-8%. Not too bad, but not what you would get in 2015
p/s: Merely translating techie greek-like language into layman terms

Could have done it completely wrong though
Thanks for the enlightenment.

I am still holding ATR right now since it's still green. But I will need to drop it soon when the moment is right since rebalancing is crucial. Then I wouldn't have SGD class in my portfolio liao
I missed ATR 2014-2015 boat too. Only bought it late 2015.
