For me i dont depend so much on the funds' historical data. Many Malaysian funds were doing well previously, but those are things of the past. Worse during the Trump effect peak period the Ringgit currency is under heavy selling pressure and funds are moving out of the country, you just feel that it is a major typhoon or earthquake.

Our investment are too insignificant compared to those bigger ones. In addition, there is opportunity cost for keeping money in non performing funds.

Nomura underweights Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: In less than four months, Malaysia’s equity market has been downgraded twice by Nomura as the global investment bank expects the country’s worsening growth outlook to continue in 2017.

“We downgraded the market to neutral in September and now [the] further downgrade to underweight reflects a worsening of its growth outlook,” Nomura vice president of equity strategy for Asean and Asia ex-Japan Shubhankar (Mixo) Das said in a media briefing on Nomura Securities’ equities and economic outlook 2017 on Monday.

Mixo shared the same view with Nomura economist Euben Paracuelles that many of the country’s supporters of growth are starting to fail, which translates into a weaker earnings profile for the equity market. The Edge Financial Daily reported yesterday that Paracuelles cut Malaysia’s gross domestic product growth forecast for next year to 3.7% from 3.9%. Similarly, he expected the country’s 2018 improvement to be limited, and thus projected a growth of 3.7% as compared with the previous 4.2%.

Really 2% SC? But dasecret told me it's 1% SC if do RSP.

For bond investment, investors can consider to trim down bond funds with foreign currency exposures and park it under local bond funds.

While the Malaysian equity market is only expected to provide a modest rate of return, investors should not shy away completely from the Malaysian equity market given its important role in portfolio diversification (from the perspective of a Malaysian investor). As such, we advise investors to consider an allocation of 15% to 20% in Malaysian equities within one’s equity portfolio.

since small cap segment is more volatile in nature, investors who favour this segment should only include it into their supplementary portfolios, confining their allocation in these segments to no more than 10% weightage of their entire portfolios.

never thought of it that way before 
refreshing point of view

wonder how many author-researcher in ifast? a quick poll among them would be nice to see if they are collectively bearish or bullish on malaysia
maybe they are collectively neutral? or they haven't updated the rating yet
