Nasdaq gained 1% last night. Maybe that will help.

You're even meaner than I am

not often you get a distribution AND sales promotion for that particular fund AND a high chance that Asia ex Japan is the new darling in UT.

or I could be just talking cock and hai lang.

Want to ask:

If RHB AIF for whatever reason no longer is favoured and another fund is the flavour of the month, what will you all do?

I mean, now we know that the market is volatile and a lot of pure equity may be too volatile for our current liking, what if the market as a whole turnaround and pure equity fund becomes de'riguer again?

What would you do?

hold down and wait out the storm.

continue on DCA.

we are investing in Unit trusts not stocks so continue sailing on as markets will go up and down such is the wheel of life,

also our other equities in our portfolio will cover for the "lost of return" because of our practice of diversification

in short. don't panic and be patient.

four cardinal practices in UT investment. you thought us that master

If I am not mistaken, RHB AIF practice distribution quarterly

Volatility and long term performance are the reasons I still favor Ponzi 1 and 2

Is just the promotion doesnt cover my monthly schedule

Sigh... no choice, resist temptation, continue my monthly investment as usual

I hold AIF, I've been for the past 3.5 years. It's a great stabilizer. But I haven't been adding la

Hold and look for opportunity to topup when chances present themselves like now still topping up KGF and eastspring (haven't topup yet but already allocated some funds for that purpose)

Nobody knows when and how exactly the market will react, will it go on a bull? Rebound? Correct? Meltdown? If one has chosen a balanced fund, one has decided he's got no steel balls. Ride it on as per plan, and when and if the balls turn to steel and one is comfortable riding on the pure equity boat, then hop on! Staying on a balanced fund will at worst net you lower profit than the pure equity counterparts in good times.

Aiyo got discount, suddenly my tangan gatal wanna lump sum but too sked of rate hike though. Maybe will use some of my bullets.

Ironic that right now my work has something to do with market timing.

Hi all Sifus,

I've just recently started investing in FSM for few months now,

My current portfolio:

Libra Asnita Bond (25%)
TA Global Technology Fund (25%)
Eastspring Investments Small-Cap Fund (25%)
RHB Asian Income Fund (25%)

As FSM is giving some juicy sales charge discount for asian funds, i would like to diversify more into asian market/emerging markets.

Currently thinking of adding few into my portfolio

CIMB-P Greater China Equity
CIMB-P Asia Pac (ponzi 2.0?)
Manulife India

I appreciate any advise and suggestions given. TQ

oh yes. definitely put some india+china in your portfolio.

ponzi 2 is everyone's darling

Just curious, why is there no love for indonesia fund?

And yes, if it was me, i would increase my asia holdings.

Be careful with single country but non-Malaysian fund. volatility is indeed much higher.

if you want to buy Greater China Equity, check out the performance in the past 2 years... get a feel of the volatility involved so that you know what you're gonna get. Oh, btw, not to jinx it... FSM recommended CIMB greater China in March 2015. guess what happened after March 2015?

"I" would go with my self imposed guidance......
if
3 yrs annualised volatility <5 (approximates allocation 25%)
3 yrs annualised volatility 5~10 (approximates allocation 20%)
3 yrs annualised volatility 10~12.5 (approximates allocation 15%)
3 yrs annualised volatility 12.5~15 (approximates allocation 10%)
3 yrs annualised volatility > 15 (approximates allocation 5%)

therefore "I" would allocate the allocation as ....

Libra Asnita Bond..........3 yrs annualised volatility 1.06 ...... (25%)
TA Global Technology Fund.........3 yrs annualised volatility 11.52 ...... (15%)
Eastspring Investments Small-Cap Fund..........3 yrs annualised volatility 13.54 ...... (10%)
RHB Asian Income Fund......3 yrs annualised volatility 5.85 ....(20%)
CIMB-P Greater China Equity............3 yrs annualised volatility 15.03 .....(5%)
CIMB-P Asia Pac (ponzi 2.0)..........3 yrs annualised volatility 9.6 ......(20%)
Manulife India.........3 yrs annualised volatility 16.38 ......(5 %)

just a note:
"I" may not have the same risk appetite as yours,...so the fund selection and allocation maybe different.
"I" want my portfolio to be able to stay intact when the little storm comes...
these 3 yrs annualised volatility % would have to be updated from time to time
overlapped funds coverage may create havoc to the allocation too...

"I" now want to go sleep....

When I'm about to dump the funds, they're on sales again!

screen shot. gonna crunch the numbers. thank you and good morning

why dump when you can Bbbbbb uuuuuu as the property flippers love saying

Pasir Sungai

Yeah, just set the allocation (esp geographical) right, and sleep on your portfolio

Stocks...ada apa tipsy?

Sikit je ma
