Is it correct to say if there is a fed rates hike coming up, it will favour bond funds ?

people jumped on Rhb emerging markets bond after xuzen talked about it.

Rhb Asian total return fund too was mentioned by him last year and suddenly every new member had it in their portfolio

so yeah. kinda scary when the new guys take things literally and form their portfolio based on ours here

Been investing in FSM for 6 months. Now my ROI is 6%. Not sure if its decent

you were some of the lucky guys that have to time to travel around....

then I guess you are lucky that you got what you want...btw how are their performance against ATR and EMBF and its risk rating ...maybe some cannot take the risk...
just like some would just go for Anista bond instead of RHB Islamic bond....

then are they in the recommended list?
lower risk, better returns than ATR (ATR is in the list)
what are the 2 HY funds in FSM terms that you mentioned....I need to see more details

United is a new fund and theoretically it is for whole sale and HNWI, so I doubt it will be put as recommended.

so Mr Ramjade is a HNWI
:thumbsup:    to him

I think they have "declaration" requirements and the high minimal sum too.

United Asian High Yield - RM Class is listed in eUT, is this different?

if you look at dec till now, kenanga growth fund is charging up like a race horse. What's up with that? anyone still buying malaysian equitiy fund lately ? looks like on a path of recovery if oil stays above 60 usd

KLCI as a whole may have limited upside but bear in mind that KGF is an ACTIVELY MANAGED FUND, i.e. the fund manager can switch from 1 stock to another as they see fit.

It is perfectly possible and doable to beat KLCI, I've been doing that for years already.

Makes no sense to me too. Why limit your profit? if people want to do that they might as well be buying stock, it would be cheaper

What happens when it goes up again?

Sifu pls give me all ur option, I just follow u

after reading so much i felt like everyone is just guessing.

I think I'll just pick recommended fund by fundsupermart and let the fund manager do their job.

I have a feelin', speculative at this juncture, that the sales charge is not their main bread and butter. For all they care, they can survive with even zero sales charge. They, here refers to FSM.

For, it is my speculative view that FSM derive their main income is from the perpetual recurring income aka trailer fee. Once their asset under advisory (AUA) hit a certain threshold, they can earn their keep by just relying solely on trailer fee.

At this jucnture, the 2%, the 1% or the merdeka 0.57% sales charge are all just marketing gimmick. I forsee in the near future, zero sales charge may be the norm rather than exception.

Wei, don't hit the panic button so soon.

Question, how long does it take for FSM to process distribution and add the reinvested units under our holding ?
Been one week already still no update.

gg when trump fails on materializing his promises and the us investors start pulling out their money from the markets

Thanks boss. Obviously on this thread what you say bear a lot more weight than what I say. Been trying to say this so many times and yet get replies like "but the initial investment only RM10k", or "FSM doesn't check or ask for income or networth proof"

How do you protect retail investors from banging wall on their own? 

Surprisingly Evergreen fund is not in the list.
But Kapchai fund is in the list.
Manulife REIT fund is in the list too!
