hopefully can STOP commenting/posting on not directly related to UT investing in FSM

else, later kena kicked to KOPITAIM forum

FM of UT has to follow certain allocation % in HK/china....at all times as per mandated......unless those unconstrainted UTs.
thus good or bad in HK, they have to stay invested.

active or non active also follow the prescript mandate.
if follow MCSI asia pac x jpn % then have to follow the MCSI % of allocation to that region per country basis
if follow the UT mandate like Greater china, then have to follow allocation as per the UT mandate.

if a fund is Big cap china fund...then cannot remove from investing in HK/China
the can reduce to the minimum allowed, but also have to stay invested

I also think as an ammo too.
but in the end nothing happens too....for as pointed out earlier by YKLOOI, HK is about 20+ years away from the promised 1 China 2 System policy

I think there are funds that starts with msybe RM500.
You can try RSP...they requires much less to start.
Check FAQs on RSP to know more.

iFAST 2020 Outlook: The dawn of a major upswing
Faced with a confluence of heightened political and economic risks in 2019, it's easy as investors to be shaken out by the grim prospects of a global growth slowdown.
Yet, looking ahead, catalysts are emerging to drive a major upswing in the global economic recovery. Here's why we think Asian markets will be the epicenter of the upswing.

Investment Strategies
Published on Nov 23, 2018
In this section, FSM take a closer look at some of the common investment strategies adopted by investors and investment managers.
(below are just excerpts....more details are in that link....)

Indexing
Indexing is a strategy that consists of gaining exposure to broad market indexes.

Value Investing
Imagine a scenario where you know the true worth of an item that you adore after spending months and even years studying and assessing it. Every time you check out its price tag, it trades at a price tag that you know is correct-the ‘right price’. However, one day, that particular item’s price gets slashed by -30% and you couldn’t believe your luck. You buy it instantly, knowing that you got it at a healthy discount.

Growth Investing
Growth investors use equities to play out their investment strategies. They look for companies that display superior growth rates and growth potential relative to their peers and invest in them.

Contrarian Investing
A contrarian investor is an investor who believes that money can be made by investing in a manner that differs from the general consensus opinion. This mentality or philosophy results in contrarian investors steering clear of prevailing market trends, buckling conventional norms and as well as looking into neglected asset classes or markets.

Technical Strategies
Investors who employ technical-based strategies utilise technical analysis in order to make investment decisions. Technical analysis involves the rigorous analysis of historical prices of financial market securities to understand the collective behaviour of market participants with the objective of determining how prices would move in the future.

Momentum Investing
Momentum investors simply follow a strategy of investing in assets that have been performing well, and selling assets that are not performing well. Simply put, momentum investing aims to capitalise on the continuance of existing trends in the market.

Fsm will charge everytime 1.75%. But if you buy from aminvest directly, I think they will charge 5%
Platform fees is for some fixed income funds only.
Do check the amchina fund prospectus yo see if they will charge exit or redemption fees.

It's been a tough year for China's entrepreneurs - and it's going to get worse, Jack Ma says

Ma, who stepped down as executive chairman of the Chinese e-commerce giant in September at the age of 55, told a conference in Shanghai on Saturday that businesspeople had to understand that “the hardship of 2019 is probably just the start” of difficulties.

“The year 2019 has been tough. Those of us running businesses know that every year is tough … in past years only some entrepreneurs have found it hard, but in 2019 probably most entrepreneurs have found it difficult,” he said.

here is a comprehensive review.....

I am leaving it to the FMs of my finds to do that.

I guess you must have your reasons to have "quite bit of China exposure"
when you started your investment, shifting and reallocating the composition of your portfolio during those investment years.

your time period stated on SARs seem not tally with Wikipedia??
