If that is his investment strategy, it isn't a rocket science. Why are other fund managers not emulating it ?
this may be relevant...
InterPac Dana Safi and InterPac Dynamic Equity Fund have a fund size of RM 1.59 million and RM 1.74 million respectively as of 31 January 2017. With a relatively small fund size, it provides the fund manager with the ease to enter into the local small cap stock without being worried about moving the acquired stock prices drastically. A smaller fund will be able to deploy its capital more efficiently and have less issue on cash drag. Cash drag is often an issue confronting bigger funds where the fund size has become so big that there is lack of attractive opportunities to deploy investors’ monies. When you hear about fund closures (not accepting new investors monies), it does indicate that getting bigger is actually becoming a hindrance to the fund strategy.
It is crucial for investors to recognize that a concentrated portfolio that is invested into the small cap segment is a double edge sword. In small cap space where liquidity may be an issue, performance of small cap funds can swing drastically. Investors may remember we wrote Thin Liquidity-A Double Edged Sword where we explained the sharp drop of some funds within a month. That could happen for these two funds. However, we opined that this risk can be mitigated as the fund is nimble enough to enter or exit from a stock.
For example, InterPac Dynamic Equity holds 5%-6% of their NAV in each of their top 3 holdings, which is equivalent to about RM 90 thousand to RM 120 thousand per stock. However, historically, the average daily trading volume for their top 3 holdings, namely United Uli-Corporation Berhad, ES Ceramics Technology Bhd and P.I.E Industrials Berhad are RM 910 thousand, RM 1.7 million and RM780 thousand respectively. As a result, the fund is nimble enough for the fund manager to close position from the stock easily.
Apart from that, a relatively small fund size would be an issue that investors might consider because there is possibility that the fund might face the problem of closing down if there is huge redemption from other investors. Nevertheless, after considering the existence of both the funds for almost 10 years and the recent effort taken by the company in recruiting an experienced fund manager, it indicates no intention from the company to close down the fund, hence the worry will be an overly pessimistic thought.

Mana ada so geng?
10 year annualized is 8.XX%

p/s BTW, port balik to Black again. Where is the 20% drop? Masih ada yang nekad menunggu, yang masih rindu, masih berminpi, berkhayal, bersyiok sendiri.
Then not as darling as mentioned....
