Potong markah!!!

If Asia gonna be strong, they will not have to cut rates further...
If no further rate cuts, no upside for Asian bonds...
US inflation go up...Fed increase rates...
$$$ flow back to US from Asia...

well it's either this or that I keep my money in the bank and let it become smaller and smaller each year or I place my bets in the US which I do not see a future in.

Remember I don't expect to make alot money out off UT because I have a clinic to help with that but I'm doing it to force myself to save rather than spend unnecessarily. so I'm trying not to over complicate the what ifs and what nots.

aduh and I was thinking where you pull the numbers from. sweat. bro go have your coffee. or do you need a shot of vitamin C from me?

So now you got the perspective correct, what is the verdict then, between ASB and RHB ATR ?

For those who can stomach risk and wanna maximise returns - RHB
For those who wanna reduce risk - Affin Hwang Select Bond

Some funds have redemption fees.. it's not common but it exists

question to those who wants ATR. since it's volatile why buy into it when you can have the same volality on an equity fund with better returns.

so far so good on my side. I think rhb bond and Islamic bond has the redemption fees if you pull out prematurely.

I'm barely losing money now. About 0.07% ex-commission

History may (or may not) repeat itself, past performance may not replicate in the future.

Correlation bro, when my equity funds fall, usually ATR go up, and vice versa.

nice. it's good to have you back buddy. don't like the passive aggressiveness when it comes to difference in thinking in some members but we all learn dont we.

and BTW. she's married. lol

#whyidonthavebondfunds lol

If one must get bond (like me), then select bond is a good bet, it has the highest risk return ratio; fund size large enough to minimise impact of a default, and exposed to asian corporate bonds yet forex risk is managed through hedging.

Also, for people who is significantly exposed to Asia pac equity funds, would be good to match the FI and EQ portions. But of course if your AP EQ exposure is through RHB Asian Income fund it's less necessary la

Thing with ATR is, the increase is mostly due to USD strength; if you are in the camp to believe that USD will continue to strengthen against RM, then by all means go for it. To me it looks like BNM is actively interfering, so it may go up a bit more, but won't be the quantum of RM3.1-RM4.5 type

Such a catch, of course married la

Speaking of Asian bonds..have always wondered what the "other" countries are made up of! Could not find the info even from the parent fund itself.

Below is from the fund factsheet of RHB emerging Markets bond fund

Quite some countries in middle east asia and africa continent, as well as latin america.

You need to read their annual/semi-annual report to get the full breakdown

This fund has been performing badly recently, even though it has so much of government exposure.

Don't tell me the "other" is MY ?

Why must get bond?
