This maybe one of the hardest question to answer to my mind so don't feel bad if you don't get it spot on, if you cash in your chips in a certain investment it will almost certainly go up, if you stick with it you will almost certainly sedition go down, could taking half be the answer?
Some said 'run your winners and cut your losers'.
While others said 'it's never a bad time to take profits'.

There is no correct time to take profits unless you are the only person in the world who can accurately time the markets, but profit, once taken, becomes real profit, in your hand.
If you think the euphoria will continue and markets will rise further next week and beyond, stay put and enjoy it: if not, consider taking some profits, to enjoy, or re-invest at a better time.

There is no right or wrong answers…it is just yours and other individuals.
Hope this helps.

(got these from the web...I cannot write that logical sense)

This guy here, like many others have worded the word or concept of "profit taking" as rebalancing......

Rebalancing is actually a pretty personal thing, because everyone’s portfolio will look different. But the basic concept is to take profit from the funds which have done well, and invest into the funds which are underweight.

Rebalancing My Portfolio
I am putting my own portfolio through a rebalancing exercise. I only do this once a year. The basic concept is to take profit for your winners, put some of the profits into your loser or laggard markets, and also, ensure that you don’t have too much into one particular area.

no one knows how it will goes...it will always have to depends on individual judgement as to whether one want to stay out, step in or do nothing..... thus the original words used is "If you think the euphoria will continue...." not "If you "know" the euphoria will continue ......."

well at least the returns of CMF are better if not is on par with some of the bond funds in the past 3 yrs....

Maybe because of this?

always good to have relevant professionals stopping by, discuss and posts.....

while doing that,...remember to take a more balanced approach....

if your maths does proved to be "correct/sensible"......
those buy and hold investors that are having low total investment IRRs can spot some reliefs ....

if you are a trader, some would suggest to 1st determine your profit/lost target in %?
if you are a long term investor, some would suggest determine your required % of allocation...sell off excesses?

maybe the answer is the performance of the equities market of the country that this fund are mandated to focus on are not doing well compared to others?

how long had this 1MDB story been going on?
how long had this sluggish performance of this fund had been?

to say no relationship is not true....but just how many % are due to this 1MDB issue?
there maybe also other things like, low oil prices, low palm oil prices, low properties sales, etc, etc

May 2014: The Sarawak Report, a whistleblowing website run by British investigative journalist Clare Rewcastle Brown, begins to publish allegations about misappropriation of state funds by 1MDB.

then anytime also can be a sell off date.....there are a lot of external reasons be it good or bad ones....

I recall seeing many instances at FD and ASN threads, forummers posting snap shorts of FD promotion leaflets and ASN a/c books / statement....

it is nothing legally wrong ...just that morally "not that" open market like"....unlike real open mkt UTs
also can refer to page@ 29 post# 575 about fairness........
