Question - I understand FSM charges 2% (or less) when buying funds, so in effect you lose 2% off the bat. What about when selling? I suppose you will lose the difference between the offer and bid price. Are there any other losses, e.g., redemption fee, etc.?

Guys, newbie question - when you sell funds on FSM, is there any extra disposal charges or will you get the full bid/redemption price? I know when you buy, there is sales charge as high as 2%.

Guys,

I just opened an account. Main goal to invest in bond funds with nett return of 5% after all deductions I have other investments in equity, property, etc. I am mulling the following:

Affin Hwang Select Bond - 17.5%
KAF Bond - 17.5%
Libra Asnita Bond - 17.5%
RHB Islamic Bond - 17.5%
RHB Emerging Markets Bond - 30%

In short, Malaysia 70% and emerging markets 30%. All bond funds.

Thoughts or suggestions most welcome and appreciated.

Matt

hmmm... interesting. never seen someone doing all bonds. I would suggest you either back Libra asnita over kaf reasoning risk to return ratio.

also 30% to esther bond
30% rhb emerging market bond
20% to Anita bond
20% to rhb islamic

Thanks for the feedback. Mind to elaborate on the risk to return ratio? According to FSM site, Anita has slightly higher 3 yr risk-return ratio compared to KAF.

head to fsm. look for the fund selector tool and select all bonds you are interested in. it will give you a snapshot of their possible performance

According to portfolio simulator, you can get 7.9% return with 3.34% volatility.

That should already exceeded your expectation. LOL.

Thanks for the tip about the simulator.

Look forward to many stimulating discussions and exchange of ideas on this site.

RIsk return ratio is the amount of return per risk

Higher risk return ratio means that given the same risk, anita give higher return compared to KAF bond

Or for the same amount of return, anita is less volatile than KAF bond

Hi. I have invested in a few bond funds and now looking to move up to dividend/income funds. I saw only a couple on FSM's recommended portfolios. Also screened Morningstar's 4/5 star funds.

Would like to know if folks here have any personal recommendations. Also whether better to go for local or Apac funds.

Feedback appreciated.

Was wondering why my Affin Hwang Select Bond Fund value dropped, but then found out it had declared dividends, but distribution yet to be done.

I was having a look at Manu Investment AP Reit fund and noticed the Risk Rating is 10 (highest). This seems counter intuitive to me, as Reits are normally quite safe funds with good dividends. Any insight as to the reason for the high risk rating for this fund?

hmm.gif my uneducated guess is that,...REITS is under "Focused Risk", thus it too has a highest risk rating....
You should remember that this is only a simplified guide on the classification of investment risks which does not take into account many other factors which affect the volatility and performance of unit trusts.

Focus Risk
Investment can also be classified by Focus Risk. This depends on the proportion of your unit trust's investment devoted to a particular region or sector. The less diversified a unit trust is, the greater the Focus Risk. 
For example, an unit trust that is invested in only one country or sector is highly susceptible to the changes in that particular region or sector, and thus may be subject to greater fluctuations. A unit trust that is invested over a wide range of countries and sectors has lower Focus Risk, as a bad performance in an area of investment may be offset by better performance in another.
Unit trusts with the same level of focus risk can be classified under two categories; Broadly Diversified and Narrowly Focused. 
Broadly Diversified unit trusts invest in a wide range of regions, countries and sectors. The words 'Global' or 'International' in them are usually good clues to indicate that they are broadly diversified.  

There are many different risk classification systems where investment is concerned. Various financial institutions have their own methodologies of classifying risk and returns. What you will have to do is to decide on which type of unit trust appeals to you most, and follow our rules of investing. 
Some would look at 3 years Risk Return ratio, 3 years Sharpe ratio, 3 years volatility % to determine how volatile is that fund.

Thanks for the educated guess. Sounds plausible. AmReits also have category 10. So something going on here.

There was a distribution. You accounted for it already ? This reminds me of someone what saying Affin Hwang select bond is correlated to TA global tech. It seems quite true.  brows.gif

Yes, already. Wait and see....

Question - If I make a purchase today, say payment via FPX before 3 pm, will I get today's NAV? Reason for asking is on FSM fund info, the NAV is a few days lag. E.g. today it still shows NAV for 11 Aug.

If answer is yes, where can I find today's NAV?

Thanks.
