But it has highest return. And fund is not like stock market where my investment can down to 0 right?

May i ask why is CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund - Class MYR, supposingly invest in Asia region only, but holds 9.01% in equities of Cayman Islands? Namely it has 4.05% of Terena International Inc. ADR in Cayman Islands.

Is this something normal, where an Asia ex Jap fund invest significantly(5th largest country in portfolio) outside of Asia?

Thnx for clarify. Another question after read the fund fact sheet it mention "as the fund is to achieve medium to long term capital appreciation the fund is not expected to make distribution."

What does this mean? As what I understand from mutual fund is at end of the yr, they will distribute dividend and reinvest back then I will gain in total units. Does this mean I buy 100 units and at end of 10 yr I still remain 100 units? Like that not worth la

I did,..during the dot com burst....I think it was 2 funds
one fund just inform me that, my money will be transferred to another fund
one fund just inform me that money would be returned to me....

just don't remember their reasons...

Yea I think I will need diversify my fund after learning more now to reduce risk. Need research more on the fund u mention.
Yep I realise now. It is different from fd interest which I'm used to due to fd I get the return every year but mutual fund is only realise after sell.

I did a 2nd tranche lump sum investment today for TA European Equity Fund, TA Global Technology, Eastspring Global Leaders Fund and Eastspring Emerging Markets Fund.

Come on Trump. Don't disappoint me and get impeached for no good reason.

Kindly refer to its pricing structure

Hoa long have you held them?

over performed? how did you managed to deduce that?

remember every event you see now is just a little ripple in the vast sea. so just make sure you cover all your bases and not keep shifting.

AIYH wouldn't that be considered as eating into the profits too? just wondering how you guys calculate the platform fee and management fee into your irr.

Basically global or developed market funds are still heavy weight on US, then eventually having similar performance (at least trend) with US centric market (see graph)

So based on the data available, manulife US will still be the better bet among them.

probably you may want to consider other allocation have different correlation with this segment

I planning to reconstruct my portfolio with my recent realization on this, but still need time to study and understand, and most importantly, money   

Ok.. now that I've looked it over, I think you are reading something very wrong that's why you think they are overperforming, which funds do you have now?

It is syiok again to see the portfolio inching upwards. Asia-Pac ex Japan is pushing forward after it was beaten down during the last two month, immediately after Trump POTUS win.



Xuzen

p/s Port is very green again.

Why is that? Please explain why do you think Asian market will be red these 2 weeks?

The dollar is dropping because Trump wasn't clear.
When investors/speculators don't get what they want, they will sell.

Notice eastspring small cap have the nickname of kap chai?
Can I know what is kap chai?
Why it has this name?

I am having this fund.

Nope. if you read the news, it's going into gold.
Not necessary. Asia can rally if US rally. They can also go the opposite if US rally. Good eg Nov issue. When Trump was elected, the US market rally. Asia follow. Then he gave a speech, US rally more and Asia takes a beating.
You don't know what's kap cai? Seriously? 

if you have followed the campaign trail from day 1 you will know the promises trump have made have not come true until now and he had already backed tracked a few of those like Obama care, sending Hillary to prison, building the wall cough fence cough and getting Mexico to pay for it.

also go watch the first press conference on YouTube. it's 1 hour long but he doesn't touch any policies that he was pushing for.

hence I do not want to bet all into US. it will come crashing down and those investors will come back.

Nope over reaction. Once he start talking concrete facts, it will go up provided "investors" are happy with what he said. Of course if he mess up, US will drop further. 
If they start coming back, it will be good for me. Why?
1) Potential double digit growth for me.   Right now I am about 0.xx% only 
2) Buy Manulife US at discount.
3) RM will recover, can convert more RM > SGD
Will topup Manulife US if it drop further as I believed he will be true with his words.

I aren't playing switching here and there. Actually right now on auto pilot. Not topping up/not selling/not monitoring as I am planning to switch over to SG UT (once it's approve). Need ammo for SG UT as their currency 3.13x ours.   But will topup if drop a lot. Say 5%   Cannot let money sitting ideally.

You are forgetting the 2% service charge every time you buy in. Will only sell say after 5 years.

I am a Malaysian la. I am not buying their fund I am using their platform to buy UT. Why? Simple
1) Service charge of only 0.75%. FSM 2%. Of course one can technically buy at 0% from them if use some tricks but I rather pay 0.75% since my ammo is limited.
2) Their fund perform better than ours (the same region funds)
3) Very very big selection (there's global REITS (but majority in (US REITS), global infrastructure, more US, AP HY bonds at only SGD1k compare to FSM MY which needs min RM10k, healthcare, some nice Japan funds)
4) Money is located in Malaysia. Should we sell our funds, we will still be earning RM.

Lesson learnt from Malaysia:
1) Never buy single country funds like Malaysia. If buying single country funds, make sure it's big (like India and US) - so no SG funds specifically
2) Get your cost down as much as possible (I find 2% is steep)

Better performance:
Let me give you an example.
Henderson Global Tech (mother fund of TA Global Tech) vs Fidelity Global Tech. Fidelity Global Tech outperforms Henderson Global Tech. Both are available in SG site.
