Thanks for coming back. But you have not actually directly answered my concern. Because subscriber information is a private data, I don't think I could have access to it. What I want to establish is how many holders are they, and if the fund is in the hands of a few heavy weight holders, then I see it having much bigger compounded risk.
As I mentioned I do monitor the grow of this fund size. Just the last two days, it grew another 2 million ringgit. If 2 million comes from 2 retail investors, that's very scary. But if it comes from 50 investor, then it is much comforting.
(I hope I did not get mixed up with the data as i am just pulling out from my memory the historical data ).
Also from the FSM website, interpac dana safi is now the best selling fund for the month, out beating many other previous long timers including the ever green funds such as KGF.
My advice is simple, if you have a deep concern. Then it is best u do not invest in the fund.
By the time u finish monitoring the ups and downs of this fund, it will be 2019.
I think it is best for most people who are not sure to follow the golden advice of other senior portfolio managers in this forum.
1) U r too slow to get in
2) U r too slow to get out
3) Monitor but donno what are the indicators and key things to monitor
4) Read news but not able to interpret news
5) No homework, u buy a fund, the fund hold how many stocks, read annual report but have u ran through all the stocks to see what kind of stocks they are? This will give u a lot of info on ur fund manager's thinking.
Mostly due to monitoring, trying to see a trend. But a trend are many times established long long ago. Hahacat saw Malaysia as a driving force at end 2016. With or without interpac, hahacat will profit.
If hahacat start monitoring in June 2017. Will just be poor cat.
We cannot keep having the same conversation year on year, in June 2018, wondering why this fund and that fund and this region that region has gone up so much. And if it is the right time to buy.
At the end of the day, u can only get this much data, u can only decide base on this much info. R u going to make the decision or not. That itself is a skill as an investor. And it determines how good an investor u are.
Don't just depend on fund and fund managers. They are juz your pawn on a chess board. U r ultimately playing the chess.
And if you really really want to do all the "wrong things" like hahacat. "speculative" and from time to time do "switching" to chase high yielding region n funds. Then my advice to all is to please have some standard in what u do.
When ppl say do research, we mean hours and hours poured into it continuously, every weekend, read up, do ur excel sheets, do ur daily tracking and monitoring, invest in ur reading material and news sources, some free ones
some pay to subscribe. If we are not going to have some standard in the things we do. And just simply simply do. U are not going to make ur 20-30%. Or in crisis time, 40-50%. Year on year. Maybe one year u lucky, pick a top
fund. Following year lose money.
