preferred by who?....well there are some also prefer eunittrust than FSM....
there is a lyn thread on it too....

read page 12, from post 231 ~ 240 for an almost similar question posted / replies by forummers
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4268975/+220

Q1: if I were to top up on equity. Would KGF be ideal now?
is KGF the ONLY equity fund in your portfolio?
top up those equity funds until their desired % are met as required by your appetite.
if you only have limited $$ to top up...then top up the fund(s) starting with the fund that has the most FSM star rating until the desired % are met as required by your appetite.....then the next one

Q2: Prices are high now.
judge not it's NAV......look at it's upside potential

Q3:But annualised return are good since inception.
Investment involves risk.
The NAV price of a fund may go down as well as up, and under certain circumstances an investor may sustain a total or substantial loss of investment.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the fund.
Investors should read the relevant fund's prospectus for details before making any investment decision.

Where investors can find value in 2018 by Eastspring Investment

There is a lot of value to be found still — if one knows where to look.
But it is critical to realise that the days of easy money are well over. The “Rush to Safety” of the past few years has left many ‘safe’ asset classes looking expensive, but equally, it has left many ‘less-safe’ asset classes looking attractively priced — very much so in some long overlooked instances.
In searching for higher returns in 2018, investors will likely find them, but only at the cost of taking on more risk. Determining how much extra risk investors are prepared to accept for the extra return should be a major consideration this year.

This distinction applies to both bonds and equities.

2018 Market outlook
2018 is shaping up to be another good year.
The drivers behind 2017’s equity and bond rallies should continue with Asia benefitting from the synchronised global recovery.
It is still “Risk On” – the bulls are still charging, but keep an eye on the crouching bears.

Our Thoughts On The Recent Market Sell-off
https://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...t-Sell-off-9380

"The past two months have been a good month for investors, particularly last month where investors witnessed another stellar start to the year having experienced one in 2017. This may have led to investors chasing some of those returns. If investors are feeling jittery over the fall in equity markets over the past 3 days, it may be a good time to reassess if they have taken too much risk to their risk profiles."

for others....Unless this is the end of the world, there will be some nice sales in markets in the coming days or weeks.
Get your shopping list ready!
It is good time to take advantage of valuations that have returned to more sensible levels and a healthier two-way market has reappeared.
Valuations have adjusted downward following the sharp and swift sell-off, with markets such as the US now trading at a forward PE of 17.0X earnings, its lowest level since the week after the Brexit elections in June 2016. Other markets that were once looking pricey such as Europe are now back at valuation levels not seen since early 2017.

Can you time the market?
November 18, 2009
When the market has moved to high levels, predicting its future direction is tricky. Investors are often tempted to time the market - whether it will have further upside or will it consolidate. However, is this the best strategy?

https://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...-EPF-Funds-9445

i found this fund, (many more on asking the local FHs)
for this fund, they don't have fixed mandate, so they don't have to die die have to hold on to any fixed mandated allocation for they would act on the calculate risk assessment that they know it is better to sell off before it gets worse. Yes they will....just that would you leave all you money at their hands?
Q: Any incentive for them to act in the investor's interest? It is not their money at stake anyway......
