invalid?......alot of people it rely on the past performance to make decision

If one looks at the past performance, they will not get on the same fund because the information compels them to stay away.
if the performance is superb? than how?

One that invests in the future will always seek for the best hence the horse jumping......
may end up buying high on a high PE valued sector/region/country...thus the chances of more % of incremental upside will be limited.

Jumping to the fastest running horse aka Best Perform Fund ends up with.

1. horse too tired n going to take a long rest aka Fund flats
2. horse continues running but not the fastest anymore.
3. horse continues running n still be the fastest.
4. The field is burnt n all the horse stop running.
etc
etc

that is How Value Investing Works In Unit Trusts?
https://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/resea...it-Trusts--1592

I don't know what weed you smoking there brother but I'll have some because that is one crazy imagination there

"expert" ppl AssUme-d mar
eg. unfortunately some investors may run from energy fund to ANOTHER energy fund...
let it go lor (queue Frozen's theme song )

also, if one jumps out just because down x% for y years WITHOUT any other data consideration.. that one = investor or main tikam?
IMHO - ignore lor

just thinking out lout - no absolute right/wrong ya

Y crazy imagination?
They are not imagination. Those are the real scenarios those are happening, happened and will happen on many "investors".

1. horse too tired n going to take a long rest aka Fund non perform after u join
2. horse continues running but not the fastest anymore.
3. horse continues running n still be the fastest.
4. The field is burnt n all the horse stop running. The market collapse, all fund invest in the same market also collapse

The problem here is not jumping horse or changing fund, the problem is what the criteria u used in choosing ur horse. If the method is wrong, you will continue in jumping horse again n again, without stop. if you method is correct, u wont jumping horse frequently.

The article talks about property sector. REITs is not directly comparable to property sector. Prop sector income comes from selling of the said property. REITS income comes from rental of the completed property. It is a fixed income / yield play. They should not be seen as the same.

BTW, REITS UTF has been on the best risk to reward top list since 3 quarters ago. Those who invested in Manureits are happy happy. Selina reits..... hmmmm, less happy.

Xuzen

I see, i thought REIT is highly correlated to property price/sales
Thank you sifu

Was holding Selina REITs, not so happy then switch to Manu REITs around 2 months back, quite happy now

Go give that Kiam Siap Kwee aka Ramjade a big big wet kiss!

Look like i plan to swap selina for manu reits. My selina i think been a while flat like KLIA airport.

Geeee...OMGsss
Luckily i stopped buying stocks by myself since 1990....after i was granted the wisdom to realise that i don't have the skill n emotional quality to pick n hold stocks ☺.
Luckily the moderately aggressive portfolios of unit trust funds that i had, had been performing much better than cash in fd for the past some years (even after minus the sales charges) ☺
But unluckily the value of my CASH that i had are literally being eaten away.....luckily i was again granted the wisdom to realised that before many others.☺
May the Almighty hand above please grant more people this wisdom to realise this.

Just curious, the volatility is based on the fund price, how the calculation will be impacted by the distribution?

A view from another perspective yo.

http://paullowinvestmentjourney.blogspot.m...-folks.html?m=1

The above us not me regarding HSBC. There's no fund today which can beat that record provided you hold.

Ignore distribution as it's left pocket masuk right pocket.

Ponzi 1.0 is not doing well also:

1-month simple ROI: -3.11%
3-month simple ROI: -2.79%

Selina REIT fund:

1-month simple ROI: +1.40%
3-month simple ROI: +1.76%

I think Malaysian funds or heavy Malaysian exposed funds are spent.

KGF, kapchai, even IDS, all are in 'maintenannce' mode. Fund managers are letting them performing correction and containing the big drops. Otherwise just wait for opportunity to strike back as election date is not announced yet.

If they can plot chart n calculate fund's returns taking in to the distribution factor....can't they do that with the fund's volatility calculation?

This is a little irony for Malaysian market as always trading sideways while world stocks at all time high even tech counters have some bumpy rides.

Maybe...just maybe...that is how ASN FP funds managed to convince themself to justify giving "that" range of returns for so many years....ha-ha😅
Btw..sone m'suan focused funds had been superbly running well for the past many months already.....taking a rest for others to try to catch up😣

The distribution will make the price back to certain level again, so the volatility will be smaller?

When calculating volatility, must compensate the price with distribution given out. Can't just use the non-adjusted value.
