Yes, this is what people mean by "volatile".. one month it can drop 15%, next month it can go up 15% smile.gif

Please allow me to add further to your statement.

If a unit trust fund has a historical performance such as this, that is, it goes up 15% per annum but its volatility is 10%. Then we know that this fund has a good risk to reward outcome. It would be wise to participate in this fund.

Lets say another fund, has a historical performance such as this, that is, it goes up 10% per annum but its volatility is 15%. Then compared to the previous fund, this latter fund has a poorer risk to reward outcome. If this is the case, and if a investor has a choice, he would be wiser to participate in the first fund.

profit 15% loss 10% = 5% average.
xuzem said profit 15% in practical over how long term only can achieve?
to get 15% average mean every year must increase rate higher
i see this will be impossible..
take above sample, 3.75% over3.85years, to get long term 10%; 20 yrs i doubt can reach.

eg next year big boom 10% return, average out =5%
another year boom 10%; average just up little to 5.9%
how many 10% boom years only can reach long term target?
problem is impossible to see every year boom at 10%.
any suggestion how to achieve our dream 10-15%

Friend WMK, I did not forget leh! Read back a one or two pages back. I did write that I am still participating into the PRS product.

How can I forget a financial product that offers up to 20% ++ guarantee return every year. I would be an idiot of titanic proportion to avoid such a sure - win financial product.

since we are in the mood of sharing, I would like to ask if the seniors (nearing retirement)  what are the things you regret in life? (eg started investing sooner? or letting greed get the better of you? of do you wish you could have done something in your life but fear of the unknown stopped you?

is there something you can share with us? I'm 29 years old this year and I'm nearing 30. another 11 more years I hit the age of 40. I'm really hoping I can minimize any life mistakes that people tend to make but I am not sure what.

I started to be to aware of proper financial planning method in my mid thirties. Now after ten years I can see small results. I regret that I did not start during my early twenties, immediately when I started working and receiving my first pay - cheque.

Imagine how much better I could have achieve if I had started 15 years earlier than I did.

This brings me back to my earlier mathematical formula stating that ROI matters less than the time you invest. ROI is linearly related to wealth, whereas time invested is exponentially related.

For those who are watching IRR and ROi and whats not, do not be overly obessessed with them for in twenty years time, even a modest return but compounded over a long time will yield good result.

Case in point, I started contributing into AHAM PRS when it started way back in Aug 2012. The first NAV was MYR 0.50 per unit (initial offering). I have since DCA MYR 250.00 per month without fail into PRS by using auto-debit function. Today, the NAV is hovering around MYR 0.59 per unit and that is despite the distribution already occurred?

Today it has been a humbling experience. The first time I put in lump sum into all my funds, I got very lucky with timing. But the second time, I have got beaten. Badly.

The Russell 2500 is down by nearly 2% and I tripled my US Small/Mid Cap exposure last Friday. So yeah...if only I had held out a bit longer. On the flip side had I held out and instead the Russell 2500 gained 2%, then I would have regretted my decision too.

Now just thinking if I should be getting my fingers itchy and switching out of any Global and European funds tomorrow. The futures don't look pretty anywhere, but they look worst for developed markets. I know I will regret it if I switch and instead they improve...likewise if I don't switch and they get worse.
*
I remembered having a differing view with a guy2388 on timing versus DCA top up. I said that of course buy low is good, but the problem is how often can you consistently time it right?

contestchris, just highlighted the phenomenal that we disputed before. He got lucky once and he assume that he can repeat it consistentlly. Now he knows! Padan muka and welcome to the real world!

Hang around kid. This is your first tuition fee isn't it?

Let's say your aggregate income is above MYR 100,00, then you are in the 24% tax bracket. Assuming you put in MYR 3,000 into PRS scheme. You use that MYR 3,000.00 as tax relief. Then you are effectively getting back MYR 3,000 x 24% = MYR 720.00 in tax relief. If you did not use this, you would have need to pay the MYR 720.00 to LHDN.

Understand boh? That is why I said PRS is indirectly giving you a guaranteed ROI of 20%.

So if the PRS fund selected performed badly also bearable as we already 'have' 24% to cushion for the bad performance? If the fund performs or outperforms EPF return = bonus for investors?

I suppose this is an alternative way of seeing this matter. So, don't choose lousy fund lor? How? Follow the FSM thread regularly. Or the PRS thread at LYN forum.

Silently slips away into the darkness and knock hushly on eUT's door.

Xuzen is a "kiam siap kwee aka cheapskate"... loves 0% s/c.....

p/s: Thinks CIMB clicks is a neither here nor there. Cheap is not cheap enough compared to FSM nor eUT; list of UTF selectable is so much smaller than FSM and eUT. Tell me, how to show her some love?

In fact I have seen the list of UTF selection in eUT platform and it is even more extensive than that of FSM.

Probably got a bit too lucky with the magnitude of gains, but switching day one is good. Transacted on 31/1 so these gains are for 2/2 relative to that date.

CIMB Titans > Australia: Gain 1.92%

CIMB China > Ch/In/Id: Gain 0.81%

TA European > SEA: Loss 0.36%

The final switch is a long term switch. The other two, I'm not so sure. Will do research over the weekend. They were initially supposed to be short term switches only.
*
In the same time, Titan gained 0.94%, so your real gain is only 1.92 less 0.94 = less than one percent.

In the same time, CIMB China gained 1.32%, so your real loss is 0.81% less 1.32% = loss of half a percent.

In the same time, TA Europe registered neither loss nor gain, so your real loss is zero minus 0.36% equal 0.36% loss.

Looks like your loss > winner.

I don't see the good. Am I missing something?
