hello guys...
I am not sure is it suitable to discuss PRS here, but would like to ask is this PRS - (CIMB-Principal PRS Plus Asia Pacific Ex Japan Equity - Class C) still good to go this year?

TQ

may I ask why Manulife China and not the more mentioned here like Cimb Greater China or EI dinasti?
is it for the ease of moving between China and India when opportunity available?

The above is a question asked of me in my PM, and instead of answering him or her alone, I might as well share my thoughts on this matter.

Here goes:
If you have seen my latest Algozen™ ver four reading, you'll notice I have gone defensive, with 20% US, 25% M'sia Large Cap, 25% REITs and 30% MYR denominated Corp Bonds.

Now on what the stock market will be like, here are my train of thoughts.

PMI is a measuring index for factory productivity. A reading above 50 means that there is expansionary activities in factory production. So far the readings are all above 50 in US, China, Europe & Malaysia. So with all these trade war going on, why are factories still experiencing a increase in order and production? This is a classical case of FEAR & GREED overriding RATIONAL thoughts. I got this info from Phillip's in house analyst report.

However do note that the reading of PMI have generally dropped slightly compared to previous month. This means although there is expansion, it could be heading to a plateau, but definitely is not coming down.

The non-farm payroll in US has increased. And the job or unemployment in the US is at all time low. This means, people have jobs, lots of it... and when people have jobs, it means they have money to spend. When they have money to spend, inflation increases. When inflation increases, the central bank must increase interest rate to balance it, this is classic textbook finance theory 101.

In the US, employment is great, people have money to spend, Trump administration has reduce corporate tax which means most company will post greater profit before tax... hey, things are great there. Why would smart money expose to risk in emerging market when US is offering such good deal? Now you see a clearer picture why emerging market is experiencing a sell down recently.
Back to the question if everything is great why Algozen™ ver four goes defensive? It is because of how algozen is written. It dislike volatility and punishes volatility. Although the underlying fundamentals are great, the market is volatile and she naturally will favour a defensive position foregoing potential high return.

For those who is asking me what region I favour, don't have to ask me this question again coz' the answer is exactly how I position my portfolio. In other words, I put my money where my mouth is.

why only India.

IMO, all Asia Pacific!!!

Don't worry. China will lose the trade war. When China loses the trade war,  expect another wave of sell down. So what's the hurry? Let them draw out the fight. When they lost, all you need to do is go and pick what you want.

They my dear friend are still not tasty enough for me.

If you don't want to wait for trade war,  wait for feds to keep raising rates. Will come a time when interest rate is too expensive to service and more companies will default payment and set off a chain reaction.

An iPhone X is like a bonus to me. If I win, I sell it,  pocket the cash.

Look at it this way,  China have less things to tax US than the US have to tax China. US can keep taxing china while there's only limited things China can tax US. Why do you think USD is gaining ground while china yuan is dropping?

So by making things difficult for China, China economy will have to give. No demand for China stuff. China will go into recession or economy slow down. Basic economy.

Whoever loses trade war,  you can go pick up what you want at cheap price. Be it US or China. I am with US on this one as odds favour US heavily.
