yes,....
more selection, more ,...but i think the selection guidelines, methodology and top mgmt directive on where and by how much% also play apart.

comparing FSM HK, FSM SG and FSM MY...are just comparing based on past.......
further more, those that cannot get access to those resources have just have to get the FSM MY one lor...

that is where you got it wrong too...
not many what to get extra trouble to do that...like opening and SG bank a/c....& getting into more forex risks.
fees...is also another matter..not many people are as calculative as you are.....
if really want to be concern about paying fees...UT investing is not on their list....

wow...tell me more

then the forex exchange to and from there?
what is the spread & tt charges like....?

November 18, 2009

FSM has an article giving their take on Japan

As of 13th October 2017, Japan’s Equity Market as represented by Nikkei 225 Index was trading at 19.2x estimated PE ratio, which is slightly above our fair estimated PE of 18.5x. Although the Japanese equity market is currently trading at a premium, earnings is expected to grow by 12.2% and 11.6% in 2018 and 2019 respectively. As such, it is expected to deliver an annualized return of 11.0% by the end of 2019. We are of the opinion that the Japanese economy has just started to recover given the recovering local consumption and several loosening policies from the prime minister Shinzo Abe. Hence, we believe that the Japanese equity market is likely to emerge as the dark horse for 2018.

Have you forgotten the Japanese Market?

you invested 1000
the NAV goes up 10% you make 100
you moved this 100 to bond fund...to protect the profit,
waiting to reenter when the NAV is lower

what about the 1000 still in that fund?
what are you going to do to protect the capital?
when the NAV is lower,...the value of this 1000 will become less too?

if you can anticipate the NAV will be lower...moved all out......???

if you trust them.....sailing up to 70% in there...... caveat Emptor...

this looks like a "better" suited fund than Ponzi 2.0 under the above scenario....

"As of end of September, the fund has high exposure to China & Hong Kong (47%), followed by South Korea (15.5%) and Taiwan (14.2%). Looking into sector allocation, the fund (ACG) has been heavily skewed towards Information Technology sector, having close to 41% within the sector as compared to its benchmark MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index (see Figure 5). Its peer fund, Asia Pacific Equity Income (APEI) has a rather underweight position towards IT-related equities."

"investors could be better off by focusing on fundamentals of a market and valuations, when it comes to investing instead of following the general notions like “Pre-Election Rally” or Post Election Rally”-which may not be well justified."

Will There Be Election Effect For Malaysian Equities? October 31, 2016
The talk of early election has then lead to some expectations that there could be “election play” rally in the domestic equity market. Are these expectations reasonable? In this week’s Idea of The Week, we explore the election effects on Malaysian equities.

What’s Behind The History Of Malaysia Election? August 22, 2017
In this article, we will only discuss the past performances and volatility of the local equity market during the election year as well as the possible election effect on the local stock market.

"political factors may have some short term bearing on the markets but no long-term impact on the performance of the local stock market; corporate earnings remains the driver of equity markets. Hence, we advocate investors to put their attention on the fundamental of the economy as well as the growth of corporate earnings and stay invested in the market during election year instead of taking any speculative position. In fact, investors should take advantage of market gyrations due to over reaction to election news, especially when corporate earnings are still robust."

Flattening US Treasury Yield Curve: Should Investors Worry About It?
December 26, 2017
In this article, FSM would like to take a closer look and share with investors our opinion regarding the recent trend of the US treasury yield curve.
*Understanding the yield curve
*What is going on?
*What do FSM think?
All in all, FSM think that the flattening US treasury yield curve shouldn’t be on investors’ list of things to worry about as the flattening of the yield curve today is actually reflecting the aftermath of Fed’s moves as well as investors’ preference towards the US bond market. In the meantime, we do not see a recession looming on the horizon, given with the robust economic growth and solid labour market in US. This bond market signaling does not mean it is time for investors to rush out of risky assets, but it does suggest the economy is relatively closer to the end of the business cycle than the steep yield curve seen in the early days of post-crisis periods.
