Just my take and my thinking,
Yes you are realising your loss BUT it is only on that fund.
If you exit all and not investing, then it is realising your loss in investing.
Realising your Loss on a particular fund and move to a more suitable fund is not realising loss in investing.
Realising or not realising a loss of a fund is the the same as the total balance in an investment portfolio is still the same
Not realising loss of a particular fund, just gives added hope of chances of recovery...some also do it due to emotional attachment to it.
Realising a loss of a particular fund and move the proceed to another fund is ok if it realised that that lost making fund does not actually suits your long term investment goal, your actual risk appetite or does not need it in your UT portfolio.
May also consider lowering the % allocated instead of exit ALL too

The loss is small by comparison and I would wait for the next bull market to do switch rather than doing it now because even if you switch funds you will be buying close to high
The other option is stop allocating and pick new funds instead with a longer and proven track record at least 15 years history

Share here what are these 7 funds.
Thank you for the responses. Few things and strategies i got from all the replies:
Yes its true if I really think about it, switch or not switch, my total investment is still the same. So why not do the switching.
Lowering the allocation and stop the allocation instead of switching are strategies I will look into.
And my bad it actually 8 funds haha. Like I said I just went into UT without proper planning just want to get the experiences. So I think my portfolio is pretty unbalance.
Here is my current portfolio:
Principal islamic asiapac dynamic 10%
AHAM aiiman asia (ex japan) growth 20%
Eastspring dinasti 20%
Aberdeen world 10%
Interpac dana safi 10%
Principal islamic small cap 10%
Maybank sukuk 10%
Amanahraya shariah trust 10%
And here my planning for my new portfolio:
Aberdeen world
Dana makmur pheim
Principal islamic aisiapac
Amanahraya syariah trust
All funds with good track record of more than 10 years.
