What is the advantage of holding the fund in USD? Is it so they are not open to currency depreciation?

Which global fund u all holding ah ?

United Global seems quite consistent, jus nw randomly click on global funds

What united global funds are you guys taking about?
Can give link?

made a quick and simple data compilation on some FI funds...

b'cos of the high YTD rois....looks likely they have almost reached their peak for this year....
some had already surpassed their historical yearly ROIs...

not much upside potential already??

for asset preservation ...YES.....

Yah! Yah! I concur.

Bond UTF should not be used to seek upside potential but rather as a portfolio stabilizer. Your main engine of growth should be equity fund.

When market is volatile like now, bond utf looks like darling in comparison to equities.

But when market is on a bull run, equities utf will move like rocket and leave bond utf behind by a far far behind.

I remember before Trump came into the picture, when Obama was in power, I had TA Tech utf giving me consistent double digit compounded growth for a few years in a row. Those were good times.

I break up my saving and invest it within 6 months period, when i buy it is almost at the peak and before all this drama started. Just a few fund give positive, overall my return still red. Since 1 year ago i stop DCA and only buy when price drop.

Worst performing fund is AH Quantum -19%, AH Japan growth -10%, Kenanga -12%, these 3 fund i'm only holding and stopped DCA. I also have CIMB dynamic and GC. I also tried managed PF which perform even worst then DIY.

Yup, around oct nov.

Sad for your money, diversification is good to manage risk, but sometimes world events may affect your holdings, and fund managers invest according to the fund mandate, well alot might says don't time the market, but don't completely ignore what is happening around you, happy investing

Because fund managers are tied to mandate lah that start to made me question the wisdom to maintain a set fund diversification regardless of market sentiment.

As per FSM, it's the banker fault who accidentally miss out my payment and I seriously doubt it. For whatever reason, it's their responsibility to make sure all payments go through on the settlement date.

I got back the funds yesterday after 6pm.

By the way, regardless of how poor a fund perform (even when it is below the benchmark), the fund manager would always say "seeing this is a long term investment, we believe our fund is performing well".

Has anyone seen a fund manager opening say "oh, we are not performing well"? Haha. Regardless of the negative returns etc, the sales agents are going to quote the same Annual Report and say they are "performing well".. Of course some public will feel cheated.

Probably not , but certainly my relatives will not dare to give me the investment talk anymore.

No its not ok.

If the money it's not in on that day I check with them, I would have lodge the complaint to SC for their mistakes.

There are dealing with people hard earn money and what if it takes longer than expected to recover back the funds.

In hindsight is easy for you to say such thing.

Someone posted a link to an article that tries to give an opinion on REITs.

It may be an old article.

However, on my personal level, Manureits is currently the best performing component utf in my entire portfolio.

I had this concern too....
I remembered, in 2015, I too was enticed by the above normal returns of past years performances of RHB bond and Islamic bond funds at that time.
bought into it in May 2015

few months later had a chance to meet up with the CFO of Affinhwang at a dinner function....showed him the RHB data...
he looked and said..."well, some of the bond issuers & rating listed in the fund fact sheet,....Hwang would never hold it"

i sold off losing 1% redemption fees,...and the RHB funds continued to gives above average returns for a few more years.....    

Thank you so much. At the moment (at least for a week), I will monitor the suggested funds, especially after the G20

Hi, is the FSMONE managed portfolios something like stashaway?

The price is quite high at the moment.

Is it still advisable to buy at this moment?
