I wondered whatever happened to good old fashioned DCA, because if you'd done that I believe any funds recently bleeding would've been giving a decent return to you instead.

Besides, there is a small fee usually 1.75% per entry into the funds, that has to be catered for in the short term losses.

All I'm trying to say is the same as Master [email=xuzen]xuzen[/email] said, hang in there and ride it out. There is no such thing as guaranteed positive growth all the time.

Lol...of course, I'm not saying to hang to every single thread....just a generalization.

Wah, this is must be one of the most active thread in Low Yat.

I read all the posts about dropping portfolios. Out of curiosity, I logged into my FSM account which I have not done for some time. 3 different accounts, OK lah, still green, nothing to shout about, but better than FD rate.

Then I checked the managed portfolios. 2 separate accounts - Moderately Aggressive Portfolio and Aggressive Portfolio. Fuh, both dropped and are now in the negative zone.

I think the worst performer in the managed portfolio is United Japan Discovery Fund - MYR Hedged which dropped about -24%.  What fund is this lah? I am sure it wasn't there when I logged in the last time.

I think the fund manager sold Nikko AM Singapore Dividend Equity Fund - MYR Class to buy the United Japan Discovery Fund.

Ah...good to hear that there was a distribution in United Japan which caused the drop. I dunno where the extra 4% drop came from. Maybe my maths calculation failed. 

hopefully, after the change in mandate,......
it can shows performance bcos it will start from a lower base line....

too bad.....by Feb if it did not show performance,...I am shifting all of it out after holding it for about 5 yrs....

I guess it is because spore n japan both are asia developed. I am doing the same thing as well.

Was surprise that fsm buy united japan because the managed port already held significant japan exposure using cimb global titans. After this move, it is double doses on japan loh.

agree with you.

Yesteday DCA top up.

Today see HSCEI drop kao kao, again DCA again today. Dinasti & Dragon.

That's why must have a warchest for this kind of event.  What's 1% drop to topup??? If keep topping up for every 1% drop,  one will run out of money faster than market can drop.

Nah. We haven't see nothing yet. If really market drop, will be front page on newspaper.

I have more bullets
I have some emergency money saved up, and I am expected to receive at least 1.5 months bonus this month
Should I put in now ? Or wait until it drops further ?
Wanna do it before eUT 0% SC promo ends

Based on?

NIKKEI 225 opens 1% higher.

Actually this month drop is nothing if you compare to last year

Strange - mobile app also not working.

add some to '"greater China" region?
since they have dropped abt 5~10% since last month PLUS they have highest FSM star rating too.

yes you are right....
but i think he is a Platinum member...thus i will assume he knows about the basic of asset allocation, concentration risk and others....

I don't actually have any Greater China funds in my portfolio at the moment, though I do hold Affin Hwang Absolute Return Fund II, Affin Hwang Select Asia (Ex Japan) Quantum Fund and CIMB-Principal Asia Pacific Dynamic Income Fund - MYR. The first one I guess is the closest to a Greater China Fund.

Added together, these add up to about 25% of my current portfolio, so I think I'm okay. I'm actually holding more than that in bond and cash funds because I've been expecting a downturn for a while now.

Yeah, AH Absolute Return II absolutely cratered over the last month. But I'm still up on the year however. I would buy into it if I could but it's closed.

What fund is this? cant seem to find in FSM...
