Wei, don't hit the panic button so soon.

"Asian stocks fell while gold and the yen were steady after three days of gains as investors grew cautious before speeches this week from Donald Trump and Janet Yellen." -- Bloomberg


Question, how long does it take for FSM to process distribution and add the reinvested units under our holding ?
Been one week already still no update.

today is the big day trump presents his proposal to congress.
be prepared for some big movements in the market.

If your emphasis is on the NAV price, then no.

But interestingly I have came across discussion on this topic on huge buys/sale of a fund.
If a fund become too overly subscribed, they become harder to manage, less agile. The fund manager will have bigger challenges example pressured to invest the money as they cannot keep too much cash for extended period. This could cause them to make less optimal allocations.

If fund subscribers panic sell, fund managers may be forced to sell holdings that still have potential in order to liquidate and pay out the unit sellers.

my mistake. looked at wrong fund sheet.
30 % gain in six month was EASTSPRING INVESTMENTS JAPAN DYNAMIC MY FUND - MYR HEDGED

Well the Feds have announced that multiple rate hike is imminent this year. Be prepared for a minor downward trend for the indices as investors will take evasive measures.

Are fund managers authorized to short sell on behalf of the fund?

Nobody's fault. Feds are doing their job to cool down the market before inflation goes uncontrolled. The reason for multiple rate increase is so that they can do small incremental instead of a huge adjustment that could cause a big shock reaction in the market

Thus this as a food for thought. We grow money to live our life or we live our life to grow money ?
Spend your entire youth to generate wealth, but no guarantees you will have time later to enjoy it.

Here is a very good and easy to digest article to help you understand how a meltdown could happen if the Feds rate hike send ripple to the financial system
Here

Effects of the impending Feds interest hike. Ya'll should go look at your regional bond fund. They are suffering now. I know cause mine affected. So even if you say the fund managers foreseen this, we are still gonna feel it. Lets hope it will recover soon.

RHB EM is -1% in one week. Still want to keep ?
Affin Select bond fund is less affected compared to EM.

are you able to disclose which fund house you are from, since you are not using real name here

haha ... i have no talent as a detective.

Which fund you referring too ? Mind sharing ?

Well the opportunist would be well off knowing this and using it to his advantage.

Shariah and halal compliant is the current rage and with this, religious themed businesses in Malaysia is experiencing healthy growth due to the demand. Good to invest in Islamic fund. Lots of potential there.

Aiyo, dunno why this topic suddenly digress to new investors with wrong atitude.

This is what it means to me, personally:

1) I am going to invest mid to long term,.......what does it mean generally?
mid - 3 to 5 years
long term - >5 years
this is true for me, as i still maintain my PM funds. New invests coming to FSM
The only time when i did sell was a fund not performing >3-4 years.

2) i am a mid to high risk person, what does tis mean too?
This means that the capital I invest is not needed for the next 5-10 years to be able to go through a full market cycle.
Low risk means I may need the money soon, so cannot allow it to incubate in bad market conditions

Hopefully you're not getting a diamond ring. that is the worst form of investment.

True , true, but there are RM2k rings and there are RM15k rings.
RM2k ring is the lesser of 2 evils
