from that article....
"Speaking in New York, BlackRock's fixed income CIO Rick Rieder said he wasn't ready to back off yet, calling emerging markets "a great opportunity" for 2017.

'Not-for-now story'
Many summit participants said they might return in 2017, arguing there was potential in parts of the developing world and that rampant dollar gains were likely to prove unpalatable to US policymakers.
Mexico has borne the brunt of Trump-related selling, but Didier Saint-Georges of Carmignac Gestion was among many who said the peso's huge depreciation would boost competitiveness.
"I would buy (Mexican assets) now, absolutely, with a 2017 perspective," Saint-Georges said.
GAM Investment Solutions also has hung on to the peso, while trimming other emerging market holdings. Its group head Larry Hatheway however plans to re-enter once bonds and the dollar settle.
"When we look to 2017 and look at parts of markets that should perform, my sense is emerging equities, currencies will be good to be in," Hatheway said.
"It's just a not-for-now story."...then will it be year 2017 story??

Based on what do you determine that manulife US Eq is more expensive than TA Global Tech

So it is based on comparison of rate of increase of NAV......that you make the decision that it is expensive.

But the stocks being held by yhe funds nay not be index linked...

But for sone indexes...and at certain mkts...the indexes takes years to return to before drops level

Sorry i dun hv computer now....r u using one now?...if yes...how is the performance of tis 2 funds...r they always above the benchmarks?

Thks for checking it.....so both are not expensive then?...but i think cannot use benchmark to decide if it is expensive or not

the distribution stopping you?
I thought they said....UTs distribution are left pocket goes to right pocket-wor.

AmReits got discounted SC at the end of this month?

if I sell my bond fund and have the proceed direct credit into my bank a/c (GIRO)...will I get the credit point?

OIC
thanks

wa-lao leh....way to long to get back the money.....

see this for charges and expenses...
http://www.midf.com.my/index.php/asset-man...rges-a-expenses
btw, except for the Sales charges and redemption charges (if applicable), all other charges are already deducted and reflected in the daily NAVs. (in other words...you don't get to feel it)

could low risk means no matter how volatile it is, the 3 yrs volatily % is way no where close to some Eq funds.....unless the bond funds has currency risk/exposure mandate

wanted input.....
TA Global Tech Vs EI Global Leaders MY....

5 yrs annualised returns
TA is 14.4% vs 14%
1 yr TA 5 vs 6.6
3 mths TA is 6 vs 6.6

performance wise almost similar.....
FSM risk rating
TA 10 is VS 7

adviseable to take TA or EI Gobal leaders??

maybe partly due to expectation of this.....
Japanese firms record 62% rise in profits ..........

PLUS speculations......

found this....
"In 2007-2009, the major industrialized countries suffered a severe financial crisis, the effects of which are still being felt in Europe and the US.  This was the biggest recession worldwide since the Great Depression of 1929, which is why it is often referred to now as the Great Recession.

But China and many other countries in the so-called developing world were not severely affected by the Great Recession at all.  In fact, during the period in which unemployment increased so dramatically in North America and Europe, China and other nations of the Global South, as well as Russia and some other places, enjoyed record growth rates, fueled by high commodity prices and China's rapidly urbanizing population and export-driven industry."
