Don't think any fund is spared from this loss. If you still believe in the valuation and attractiveness of Asia Pac/China, stay invested. Or if you have extra bullets, buy the dip.

looks like falling under one of the Common Portfolio Management Mistakes Made.....

Losing faith and lacking persistency

Most investors do not have a strategy to handle their investments during changing market conditions. 
They tend to lose faith and panic when the market goes against them.
Not knowing what to do, they soon question their investment decisions and lose persistency to see through their financial plan, eventually leading to panic selling.
Once they exited the market, it will require tremendous effort and courage for them to re-enter the market, often missing the turning point of a recovering market, hence missing out most of the gains should they have stayed invested.

if the current market indexes vibrations made you sleepless or uneasy.....
try to Know Your Risks!

It is important to understand the risks of the investments you are considering to invest into. But, it is also crucial to understand your own personal risk appetite. After having done that, then allocated % in funds for your portfolio's needs to suit your likings and preference.

You withdraw now = real loss.
If you cannot tahan this small drop, I suggest you to go for promo FDs, amanah saham fixed price fund, EPF.

Your choices now:
1) topup and retain some extra cash should it slide further.
2) come back and see how your fund is after 3 months.

with the current down trend......temptation starts to built up

was thinking of buying a new 55" TV
since IDS had no SC.......was thinking of betting RM3299 into it and "hopefully" can get sponsored for a higher end one by Feb.....

bad temptation, I know I know.....just had been thinking since 3 weeks ago (since the 1st jitters)

amithabha, ....go away you seductress TV ads.

I thought just tis morning you had just put in 7K?
the 3 below funds not enough challenge?
try research TA Global tech?....dropped this few days
or IDS/IDE...dropped a lot too.....with no sales charges.....can bet in/out without SC constraint

I did invest IDS, but sold the last batch in October.
I was very lucky, invested IDS since April at price 0.45xx to 0.59xx and start to sell in August and sold the last batch on 17 Oct at price 0.6017. , almost at the peak.

I sold IDS mainly because i don't know what I had invested to. It updated its factsheet every 3 months, but without updating their top holding. I don't know what it is holding...
By looking at annual report, IDS number of unit holders in whole Malaysia is 60 only. Do u sense any risk behind this number? I do.


Normally, i don't include Msia EQ in my UT portfolio because i am holding quite a lot of (to me) Msia blue chips stock (Maybank, TNB, Maxis etc), which i bought >10 years ago. Moreover, I don't have confidence to Msia market especially before election, as I still can remember clearly that how the stock sank right after the election of 308. Furthermore, currently, PMI is <50 for years, Companies earning is below historical average level.

To me, i don't agree with FSM who allocating 15% to malaysia fund. I personally think that the risk of Msia EQ is almost same with India EQ, as both of them are emerging market with high GDP growth rate, and both of them (stock and currency) are easily be manipulated by foreign fund.

Malaysia Fund is also single country fund, and malaysia stock market is too small, therefore easily be manipulated/impacted by foreign inflow. But, if without enough foreign inflow, malaysia stock market is very boring one, flat for months.

5% to -1 % just in 3 weeks. woohooooooo.

I think whole FSM is counted a single nominee toward Interpac that's why you see low count of unit holders...
*they did include the fund holding, Page 35 for Dana Safi and Page 63 for Dynamic Equity


More to come tomorrow.... Hopefully the slight drop of MYR can cushion a bit the drop of funds...

Morning all,

Guess this is my time to start my FSM managed portfolio (discounted funds and fees), I have been waiting

A bit hard to decide what to do at the moment. I think this is just a downturn so in theory it's a good idea to buy on the dip. On the other hand, I also think that the RM will improve for a while yet, so any foreign funds you buy will depreciate in local currency terms even if they recover.

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia ACE (FTFBMMES) index comes back green today, I guess IDS will do well today.

Red Sea again today.
Should I DCA earlier this month? 🤔🤔
I expect all funds to be red today

"should you DCA earlier this month?"
theoretically "YES"....but then what if it continue to drops.......for some few weeks/months ?

when DCA is to be practiced...just ignore the "when", but "JUST DO IT"

will the rate of RM appreciation over rite the rate of potential of appreciation of the stock prices?

Sea of red 3weeks in a row... In total my port lost ~2.5% since first week of November. Not end of the world...
DCA-ed yesterday.

Initially was aiming for end of mth, when I get my allowance.
Consistently over the month.
Just started fsm lately.
Last time I do shares but stuck with some now.
Well I see us all red in the morning. Expecting other market to be red as well.
My GC port bleeding.
Nothing shocking though. The red at shock market is more shocking
