There is no great significance, because those were for the past quarter (ie 2008Q1).
It is done to have a better transparency basically, so that investors know at least what their funds are holding.
It is also a requirement by SC that the portfolio be exposed in the annual reports for each funds.
The main reason consultants show this is to give investors the confidence because they know what they're investing in.
But as I said, those holdings were for the previous quarter, so things change after the reports were printed.
So all in all, they're kind of "Sejarah" type of thing for us smile.gif

As an investors, we need to monitor our investment. By having this info, actually we can know if the fund manager really invest our money according to the investment strategies. Although this info is a bit outdated, this info is the latest info available and normally unit trust funds do not change their portfolio very frequent. I never see any equity/balanced fund which have totally different top 5 holdings in 2 consecutive months. If yes, this is another indicator to investors, fund managers may not do homework before they invest earlier.

Anyway, if most of you feel that it's useless, I will not post again to save the space of the forum.

leekk8, sorry if my previous post sounded offensive. I was just explaining to David the reason this data is published.
I do agree with what you're saying in the first sentence of your post. Not many investors will fully understand unit trust, because a lot of them just rely on their agents for information and recommendations. That is where agents get their money smile.gif
I apologise for not using the proper wordings, as I was just trying to get my opinion through.

Jordy, it is ok...I also just want to share some information that I have and I am opened to any comments, since here is a forum, and forum is a place for discussion. I said so earlier just because I understand resources of forum servers are limited, if the info is useless, we should not waste the resources but keep it for other useful info.

In fact, it's a sad case when some of the investors know nothing about unit trust and know nothing about their investment even they have invested in unit trust for few years. As an investors, we should learn about the investment tool that we use, at least the basic knowledge, so that we can know better about our investment and revise our financial plan periodically in order to achieve our goal. Unit trust agent should educate their clients instead of just recommend fund to their clients.

Anyway, I will continue to post this info every month here so that we can monitor the real investment strategies of public mutual fund managers.

Yes, 3G and 3.5G are the big challenges for Telco now. Maxis and Celcom do not seemed like making good money from 3G, the biggest problem is the quality. Since the 3G service is not cheap, quality must be good to get more subscribers on that.

As I know, China has not launched 3G officially, but in HK, Spore and Taiwan, there are. As what Jordy said, telco spent a lot to implement the infrastructure, after that, just maintain the service quality to make money.

In fact, from my experience in telco line, telco main profit comes from international business, like IDD and roaming. smile.gif

Not mean to argue , but the past does not present the future.

The futures of communications are internet centred. Correct me if I am wrong.

IDDs and international business are losing to internet based communications, cost is much cheaper and you can see and send photos too ( of goods you want to buy ) , and with CCTVs you can see your workers working in China while you are in Malaysia.

In fact, WIFI could a strong competitor for Telcos  too.
Just share my opinion here. The communications are going to be internet centred, I can say yes. In fact, why internet can be cheaper than making call? It's because internet is using IP while GSM is using E1, where the cost is higher than IP. Anyway, most of the telco now are changing their bearer from E1 to IP, to cut down the cost and increase profit margin.

International roaming business cannot be replaced by internet based communication, as mobile phone is much more convenient than a laptop with internet access. Both of these have their own role to play. I believe in Asia currently, its hard to get free WIFI around town (at least KL still don't have currently), if we want to access to the internet using mobile phone, we still need to hook up to 3G or HSDPA network.

IDD calls now are much lower rate than previously. I myself make international calls quite often, I still prefer to call using mobile phone instead of chat through internet, as the quality is better. Internet is good for transferring files.

Hello, i have 6k +/- units in unit trust.. and it is handled by my mom, she bought it 5-6 years back. Now i'm start working n start to concern in investment so i checked with my mom, the agent has switched the fund to Public Money Market Fund recentlty.

is this a good fund to invest at the moment? i check the price and it is 1.1 at the moment.. should i ask my mom to switch to fund that currently at low price e.g growth fund..

what u think?
*
If you think the market will go up soon, then you should switch to equity fund. I guess the agent is thinking the market will continue drop, so he switch your mom's fund to PMMF. PMMF is a fund for us to park our fund temporarily when market is dropping. PMMF is a very conservative fund, which normally won't suffer from loss and the return is around 3-4%.

Actually all agents are trainned properly but it depends on their responsibility to inform their customers how to switch their funds to more stable ones or swap to FD temporarily until market recovers rather than just let it slide till its worth a piece of paper.

If you ask 10 agents, 10 agents also will ask you to keep your money in the fund and not to withdraw. Do you know why? Comission. If you don't withdraw, every year your agent still gets 0.18-0.25 comission based on the AUM. Secondly, when more people withdraw the fund size drops and the fund manger is forced to sell good value stocks eventhough he wants to hang on to it. When this happens, the price drops further.

Looking at the current market conditions, it will take at least another year or 2 before the economy recovers. Malaysia still denies that we are having recession while most countries in the world have announced and admitted it. Next thing to go is the big 3 of the automobile industry and when this happens, US economy and global share prices will go down another freefall. There are some pundits who even predict the KLSE will drop further below the 700 mark. How true is this we are not sure but one thing's most likely.. your all equity related funds will keep dropping for the next 1-2 years.

This is what is likely to happen to your equity funds (in general)  :-

2007-2008 = - 20-50% (already happened)
2008-2009 = -20%
2009-2010 = -20%

if your funds keep dropping by 20% every year, how much do u have left by the time economy recovers?
Started with 10k
2008 - 8k
2009 - 6.4k
2010 - 5.12k
Assuming market starts to recover by then at 20% growth :-
2011 - 6.14k
2012 - 7.37k
2013 - 8.84k
* have not counted the 0.5% service charge every year and the 5% service charge when you purchase

Rather, a better solution will be temporarily swapping to more stable fixed returns eg FD at 3.7%:-

2007-2008 - 10.37k
2009-2010 - 10.75k
2009-2010 - 11.15k
Assuming market starts to recover by then at 20% growth :-
2011 - 13.38k
2012 - 16.06k
2013 - 19.27k

- See the difference, if you keep your UT in equity funds..omg.. 6 years also your money is still in negative.. what kind of investment is this???
- if you swap over, your money is almost double after 6 years.

* alternatively if you really want to leave your funds there, at least swap over from equity funds to bond based then you won't lose so much.
*
The problem is nobody can know when the market will be at the bottom. You assume markets recover by then at 20% growth, in fact, most of the people only aware of the market recover after the market has recovered for 50% or more. Why many people cannot earn money from investment? I think is because most people aware the market crash only when market has been down for 50% (like now) and aware the market recover when market has recovered for 50%. So, they always buy high, sell low.

You don't have to pinpoint exactly, but since we are at the start.. expect around 1 1/2 years to 2 years of downward spriral - see http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...20&sec=business .So for the next 1 1/2 to 2 years, put it in something stable otherwise you will be too early and end up waiting 5 years and still lose money. If you want to remain in unit trust at least transfer to bond/money market instead of equity.

Even if you are late 1 week or 1 month to catch the next boom, why worry? There is still another 8-10 years of growth where you will gain. For every 8-10 years of boom, there is around 2 years of recession. Last recession was 97-98 in fact we are quite lucky to have almost 10 years of boom before the current recession.
*
In fact, what I observe is, after 97/98, many people is too scared about investment, and the market is not booming until 2006. The KLCI stay around 600-800 most of the time (although there is some high points at 1999 and 2002). People still remember about the 97/98 until the KLCI go up to 1000 at 2006, people start to think about investment...then early 2007 only really go in investment, and market is booming...so most of the people actually only dare to go in when the market is really high (which people think the rising trend is very clear). But, what happen next? Market is going up for 1 year, then drop dramastically to 800++ in 1 year time. That's why most of the people said cannot earn money from investment. They always buy high sell low.

Yup, now we see plenty of people around scare of equities investment part. In fact, now could be the time for accumulation period.

Ain't we always aims for buy low sell high?

Back when KLCI was 1,300 level time, everyone wish can buy some blue chips stocks at 30% discount or even more. Now some may already reached it, but people said cannot buy, how ironic human behavious is.

People willing to buy when KLCI was 1,300 level, but fear to buy when it is 850. Strange human behavious, right?

This bear market already been almost 1 year old, which we can trace back from 1Q of 2008 after GE, while US subprime issue is actually 1 year old already as well. Historically, bear market seldom last more than 2-3 years time. The fastest and steepest it drop, the fastest the recovery will be.
But this round surely take sometimes, as the severity of the crisis is unprecedental but surely one day it will recover.
But as said, it is impossible to do the right timing, so some DCA is always help and split your intended investment amount to several period of time, then surely you will hit the bottom without your notice. In fact, to have long term gain, one doesn't need to buy at the bottom, near and around is already good enough. While we might already near or in, just people might not notice it until it is too late.

Equities market usually recovers way before the real economy recovers, generally 6 months to 1 year ahead.

Yes, everyone knows that buy low sell high is the way to earn money in investment, but in fact, most of the people still not dare to buy low. They always buy high, then market drops, they sell low. That's why most of the people said that stocks or funds cannot make money, but lose money.

In stock and fund investment, knowledge is not everything. Mindset and discipline is the most important aspect, and they will determine whether you can make money or lose money.

thanks for such useful info. regarding the short term invest, wat is UT term means? UNIT TRUST?

actually, how will we know this is the time is the price(low) that can b start to invest and how to determine that it has improvement?

Is it, i keep record of funds, as it goes to the lowest and sudden started to rise, that is the time to invest is it?? Do advise.

Nobody can predict the bottom point accurately...you see the price started to rise, but it might go down again after you buy. If you want to predict the market, you will always buy at high...and eventually buy high sell low.

Don't predict the market...since the market now has dropped for 50% from the peak, it's definitely a good time to go in...the strategies will be monthly top up for 2-3 years, then definitely you can catch the bottom...this is the only way to buy low...

1 question on calculation to check how much can get after selling all units on UT

total units * <fund price [NAV]> = amount sold?

eg: 3000*0.5252 = RM1575.6 <A>

<A> - initial investment = profit?

Please advice. Thanks

You are correct...if you get a negative value for profit, that means u suffer a loss.

i don't think there is minimum period. but when you buy unit trust there are fees that is applied. Don't think you can make profit in 1 day.
*
There is no stated minimum period before selling, but I think it's quite impossible to get return in 1 day, as there is 5.5% service charge. Anyway, some funds are very volatile and can go up and down more than 5.5% in 1 day. Just normally we invest unit trust is to get long term return, so seldom sell in so short period.

Dude...

3-5 years not long term la. That's short term...very My advice to you, before investing in anything (not just mutual funds), read up and read alot.

Nobody's pointing a gun at you and telling you to invest with them so talk to as many agents, friends and family as you can. Google and find out the fundamentals of investing. Check out the Public Mutual website as well. Also visit the Securities Commission Website and the Banking Info site. These sites have a lot of information that can help you.

Also listen to BFM 89.9 for good advice. Check out the podcast on investment here and here.

Investment funds like the one offered by Public Mutual is for the long run...the very long run. We're looking at 20-35 years here. Of course it depends on your objectives and how much you can afford to put in regularly. Some start early, put in a lot and cash out early too. Some start late put in a little every month and have a comfortable buffer for retirement. Some invest in funds for better returns when compared to FDs. Some invest to buy a house.

The thing you have to remember is that, although there are some general rules, there are no set formula because everyone has different goals. Whatever it is...investment takes time and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Besides, fund are regulated by the Securities Commission, so check that your agent are licensed to manage funds. If you suspect anything amiss, then report to the SC. They can revoke his the agent's license.

One last thing, track the funds that you'd like to invest in, go to Public Mutual site and see in the previous 5-10 years how the many fund perform. Check it out here.

Hope this helps, good luck and have an awesome new year ahead.

I agree with you that 3-5 years might not be long term...but just want to highlight and don't want anyone confuse seeing this statement. Investing for long term like 20-30 years, doesn't mean that you invest now and only look at it after 20-30 years. No matter what type of investment, we should monitor and review our investment periodically, as well as adjusting our strategies accordingly. It's definitely not the correct way if you invest now and only check the performance after 20-30 years. How frequent you should monitor and review your investment? This depends on what kind of investment tools, and how free and interested are you to monitor it. My personal view, unit trust, we should at least review it once a year, and for stocks, we should at least review it once a quarter.

Any sort of research I should before jumping in into investing in Public Mutual funds, or any mutual funds for that matter? Where can I start?

What books should I read? I've been looking up John Bogle & Morningstar about mutual funds among others. I just can't feel like reading the local books by Azizi Ali or Adam Khoo, 'cause these seemed more focus on hype & get-rich-quick than really telling you what you should do.

Online, I've been looking up Fool.com & Investopedia as well as invest.com.my, any others online I should check out?

Only advice I get so far is to buy low, go for funds with zero to low fees & charges and don't try to beat the market. Anything else I should know?

Put in some money then you can learn faster through experience. Read oversea books just can give you a basic idea, but not everything can be applied in Msia.

As far as I can tell, after asking the same question on this forum many times, there is no true index fund in Malaysia.

To repeat myself in the interests of making things clear, when I speak of a true index fund, I am thinking of something like the Vanguard Index Fund in the U.S. They are characterized by:

1. Very low charges, comparable to those of bond funds because there is no management skill involved in index funds. Public Index Fund imposes charges similar to other Public series equity funds.

2. Always invested 100% in the stock market. If you look at the prospectus for the Public Index Fund, it says that it reserves the right to withhold part of its assets from the market.

3. Seeks to match the performance of the market it is tracking exactly. This is what "index" means! Instead, the PIX explicitly seeks to outperform the KLCI.
Index fund, look at ETF. Other than that, OSKUOB KLCI Tracker is not bad also. The charge is lower, its around 1% when buy and sell.

Just to highlight, there is no fund allowed to invest 100% in stocks, as fund manager is ready-buyer, unitholder can repurchase the units anytime, so fund manager must allocate some cash to buy back the units from unitholders.

Dude, an index fund selects specific stocks to invest in based on relative market capitalization, not performance. Top 20% to 50% as you note refers to the biggest 20% to 50% companies on the stock market, not the best performing 20% to 50% ones. There is no guarantee that the biggest companies in any given stock market will perform the best. (In any case, it is impossible to objectively know in advance what the best performing 20% to 50% ones are. This is the sort of thing that you can know through hindsight.)

Anyway, Public Index Fund is not an index fund. It even says so in its own prospectus. I quote:
On the other hand, the OSK-OUB KLCI Tracker is a passive fund that explicitly seeks to replicate the KLCI as close as possible:
For the PIX, the explicit goal of management is to outperform the KLCI. For the OSK-UOB KLCI Tracker, the explicit goal is to match the KLCI. Even performing better than the KLCI would be considered a tracking error, rendering their methodology suspect.
*
Yes, PIX is not a real index fund, as in the prospectus, its investment strategies states only around 60% of NAV will be invested in index-linked stocks. This is the reason why Public Mutual charge normal service charge for this fund.

OSKUOB KLCI Tracker is a passive managed fund, which has lower service charge. Sure the charge will not be as low as US, because overall the service charge of mutual funds in Msia is higher than US or other countries. This is not the matter of fund type, but the matter of different countries.

If you can direct invest in US funds, its always a good choice for you to direct invest there.
