I think this is rather personal, depends on what you want

Considering the fact that you have FSM SG's MAPS as part of your financial investment, I'd instead increase your Msia equity and/or Msia fixed income as that's something that FSM SG MAPS don't have

MAPS have quite a fair bit of BRICS and GEM exposure already; and I think use SGD to invest in those markets is better than using MYR. Consider reducing forex exposure for the FSM MY investments; I'm not sure where does MYR fate lies really

In fact I think am lacking small cap in my port but EI small cap has soft-close so I don't really have any Malaysia equity in mind, I already have KGF and EI equity income on my Malaysia exposure, any suggestions.

Side note, just went to FSM SG seminar again yesterday, it's going to be a quarterly review thingy now, basically, yesterday they explained the reasons behind the recent port rebalancing and the reminder that market going to be a lil bit slower starting from Q3.

Actually KGF is more of a mid to small cap fund than a big cap fund. The fund correlate more to the small cap index than the klci

I think your mix of KGF and EI equity income fund is good. If you really wan to chase small cap fund can consider interpac, it's the hottest fund of the year. I'm just not sure how volatile it would be since the fund size is still very small

Thanks for the update on MAPS seminar. Since I'm not based in SG I don't have a chance to attend even if I'm invited

Can I know which Interpac are we talking about, Dynamic Equity or Dana Safi? BTW why KAF Vision Fund is not being mentioned anywhere in the thread, is it bad? I was reading the article from FSM about alternatives to EI Small-Cap and I came across this KAF fund and the returns looked great albeit at high risk

Anyone know why RHB Emerging Markets Bond fund dropped and flatlined over last few weeks?

Anyone know why RHB Emerging Markets Bond fund dropped and flatlined over last few weeks?

More than a quarter of dollar-denominated corporate and quasi-sovereign debt in emerging markets is tied to oil and gas production, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. That compares with 14.4 percent of the U.S. high-yield index and 12 percent of U.S. corporate bonds more broadly.Bonds in Russia and Qatar -- of Lukoil and Ras Laffan LNG, for example -- may be particularly vulnerable because they rely on oil revenues as well as national economies that are highly dependent on the same type of income.When the Fed raises rates next week, emerging-market credit can easily keep on rallying. It's really falling oil prices that would put a halt to this party.

Seems like Buffett is bullish on India.

Any fund that we can leverage on for those without any exposure?

India there is only one. Manulife India Equity. I will switch my Manulife US equity bits by bits over. The Manulife US is on downhill.

Hi sifus,

After investing quite heavily in msia & asia sector, was thinking of diversifying into US/India.

Read alot and have seen that manulife US/any US funds are dropping like mad? they say it will be better in q2, but is it worth investing at those right now since its dropping and can get a good DCA?

How bout manulife India? read tons of news on it but afraid to pour in right now due to all time highest average. afraid might drop or its still quite early since its q1?

Hope for any insightful comments. Thanks
