Hi all sifus and senior, where can I see the price movement of unit trust? Try searching at Google but it show yesterday price

I have a general question regarding unit trust funds.

In the event of a market crash, can the fund manager sell off everything and hold cash? Or because they have to follow a mandate, for example '...invest minimum 95% in a certain market/sector', so they die die have to hold even though they know it is better to sell off before it gets worse? Will they? Any incentive for them to act in the investor's interest? It is not their money at stake anyway.

Subsequently, what will happen if they do so? In Malaysia for example, market is small, and many stocks' substantial shareholders are institutions, most of them are these unit trust funds. When they do massive selling, will they cause panic in market and lead to further sell down? Did this ever happened?

just for perspective.....
from Dec 14, 2016 till Dec 13, 2017,
the FED rate had been up 4 times from 0.75% to 1.5%....
so in the year 2017, it goes up 0.75%....
did you UT investment portfolio goes up with interesting ROI in 2017?

Dear All,

I want to ask your opinion and experience on CIMB Asia Pacific Dynamic. There are two type, MYR and SGD hedged. The SGD hedged is superior in terms of return than MYR but what are the costs ie exchange rate charges from MYR to SGD during buying and charges from SGD back to MYR during selling?
Which one you think better MYR or SGD hedged in term of return - total costs?
Thanks

Thank you guys....
yes... I am saying the Manulife Asia Pacific Income and Growth Fund... sorry for the missing word.

From my allocation on Equity (Asia Ex japan),
Affin Hwang Select Asia (Ex Japan) Opportunity Fund - 83%
CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund - 17%

Any advice?

p/s: Equity (Asia Ex japan) is 32% out of my total UT investment.

TQ.

Been waiting for Quantum to rise back up and sell it, but seems like its going down even further.

My whole portfolio bleeding like mad. Especially my India manulife fund at negative 10% .

not surprising.. giving so much market volatility
imo, still more to come.. brave urself for the ride yo

DIY -2.40
MP -1.85

Curious why 10 years = 1 full cycle? 

Serious? Then need sell off all UT although still lost..I bought it start end of last year

for sure economy will crash/reset ngam ngam every 10 years?
not 12 years? not 6 years? not 15 years?

if yes, i gotta get me that crystal ball of yours 
else
maybe it's NOT a sure thing and especially NOT ngam ngam every 10 years 
just clarifying for the sake of those who bulat bulat telan

lets the trills ride begins.....
U.S. President Donald Trump pressed ahead on Thursday with import tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent for aluminium but exempted Canada and Mexico ...
"If you don't want to pay tax, bring your plant to the USA," added Trump, flanked by steel and aluminium workers.

Plans for the tariffs, set to start in 15 days,

psst.. it's a good thing, else people like us can load up properly
don't let the cat out of the bag bro 

managed port

-1.8%

kgf from 14 to 8... hmm.

where is the CNY and GE factor....

Invest in stock/UT using money that u won't need for at least 2-3 years.
If that money can stay inside market for at least 1 full cycle (10 years) is the best lah.

The important point here is not how long is the full stock market cycle, but the main point here is that stay LONGER in market for AT LEAST the WHOLE cycle.
Anyway, historically, stock market's crash* MOSTLY happens every 10 years***.

* In economic terminology (i studied Engineering, info below are from my side readings),
- crash :>20% drops in relatively short period (around 1 week).
- bearish/recession : >20% drops from the peak, and stays for > 2months
- correction: 10% to 20% drops from the recent peak.

*** Recent market crash events:
- 2008 Global Financial Crisis
- 1997 Asian Financial Crisis
- 1987 October 19: Black Monday
Don't misunderstand...

In long term, market performs as big up-trending sinusoidal wave.

The reason to stay LONGER in market for AT LEAST the WHOLE cycle is:
- if u bought near peak, u can sell near the NEXT peak which u will have chance to meet if stay in the whole cycle. Imagine the up-trending sinusoidal wave....

they aren't honest. I see the month to statement also I boil. say like themselves so saint. only .9 even market bear

Guys, nowadays i am thinking of investing at UT that tracks s&p500 or DJIA.

Any idea? Preferably in MYR currency.

i googled it up and found this link:

quote from the comment section

the wire deposit fee, sounds exorbitant....
btw, i search at fsm sg using the fund selector (dont select etf, select unit trust, i always select etf), and at last i found it UT that tracks s&p 500.

too bad, its for SG only....
suddenly FSM SG looks quite attractive

What u guys think about the future potential for Manulife REIT and AmAsia Pacific REIT?

They look to have taken quite a beating this year, albeit expected to.

Will those that still holding this funds continue to top up or wait for some sign of recovery first?

What is your opinion on this?

I did ask CIS. they say 2018 better not touch reits.

....maybe my mind is too shallow...but i find it 

"Not if you are holding reits for dividends as price drop doesn't matter."
......if one is holding stocks includes Reits as and investment portfolio....if the price of shares includes Reits drops...will it not affect the total value in his portfolio thus affected the net worth of the individuals just like the net worth of the UT fund?

"It just means higher dividend. Different story if you are holding UT reits."
.......If stocks or Reits pay higher dividend to holders....they don't pay the same rate to UT funds that holds them?

you guys (above posts) just mentioned it yesterday.....now see what the markets did   

The Dow plummeted 724 points, or 2.9%,...... It was the fifth-largest point decline in history and the market's worst day since the extreme turmoil of early February.
The S&P 500 dropped 2.5% and the Nasdaq 2.4%.

2017 was thinking that it will be the beginning of the road to wealthiness 
Feb 2018...the coming of the beginning of the end my wealth? 

luckily i am on pills....blood pressure control pills.....maybe it is time to double the dosage
