The recent decline in the NAV(Price) of the RHB funds are due to one of its sukuk holdings, Alpha Circle being written off by fund manager. Therefore, RHB fund manager have embarked on an exercise to write down (zerorise) all market value of Alpha Circle Sdn Bhd (ACSB) Sukuk effective 11 August 2023 Affected funds 1) RHB Bond Fund 2) RHB Energy Fund 3) RHB Golden Dragon Fund 4) RHB Goldenlife Today 5) RHB Growth & Income Focus Trust 6) RHB Income Fund 2 7) RHB Islamic Bond Fund 8) RHB Kidsave Trust
As investors who buy the bonds encountered a sudden lose. Funds were managed inappropriately by incompetent fund manager & team. What should we do to reclaim back the money?

QUOTE(contestchris @ Sep 19 2023, 10:09 AM) Investing has risks. You cannot do anything unless you're suggesting there was an element of fraud in play, which is highly unlikely. Just questions, the fund manager should not even buy this bad sukuk holding Alpha Circle at the first place. Did fund manager perform screening due diligently before buy? Why didn;t dispose/sell off all this sukuk holding once bad news had been exposed since years ago? Did investors been informed on this Alpha circle issue?

QUOTE(AbbyCom @ Sep 19 2023, 10:16 AM) Funds #6 & 7 were severely impacted. The fund managers have to answer for the concentration risk they did with such a significant portion of the funds' portfolio invested in the sukuk. These are the risks investing in unit trusts, I don't think unitholders can claim back the money - there are no PIDM for unit trust funds. Maybe can sue for damages if the fund managers & trustees violate their own trust deed/stated fund objectives by overconcentrating in one sukuk, but it is unlikely you can get your money back. [attachmentid=11479477] AbbyCom, How to sue/lodge a complaint for damages if the fund managers & trustees violate their own trust deed/stated fund objectives by overconcentrating in one sukuk? What is the governance body that we can complaint to?

QUOTE(AbbyCom @ Sep 19 2023, 11:59 AM) I no longer follow UT in Malaysia. But from the RHB Income Trust Fund 2 prospectus at https://studylib.net/doc/8658389/rhb-income-fund-2. The regulatory body is Securities Commission. So you can go and file a complaint there. In the prospectus (bottom of page 4 and top of page 5) you can contact RHBAM, SIDREC or SC for complains and dispute resolution. The RHB Fund prospectus did not mention any mitigation for concentration risk, unlike the UT funds I was more familiar with, the Public Mutual funds - they have investment restrictions in clause 1.4 of the prospectus like the screen shot below where investment in any one issuer cannot exceed 10% of their NAV. [attachmentid=11479480] While it is not mentioned in the RHB prospectus, need to see whether the trust deed between RHB and HSBC Trustees mentioned the investment restriction or not (but I don't think RHBAM and HSBC Trustees will reveal incriminating evidence against themselves to you). I am no expert, it's just some things I learn how to hold fund managers to their own rules stated in the prospectus and to exit the investment if fund manager violate their own rules. Hi @AbbyCom, Manage to find the "Permitted Investment and Restriction" and "investment strategy" clause of RHB Islamic Bond fund. See attached. Don't quite understand & not sure how to interpret them. The current Alpha Circle concentration is 23.6%.

QUOTE(LoTek @ Sep 21 2023, 09:42 AM) Isn't this the 2nd time rhb has been hit with this? Iirc weren't their funds badly affected by MEX sukuk before too? (might be wrong and it was a diff fund house if so I apologise) Believe, it had been given extensions few times. Had been selling the good quality issuer to cover the the bad issuer ACSB. Only recently kementerian Dalam Negeri (“KDN”) has decided not to grant an extension of the concession via a letter dated 3 August 2023. The whole thing exploded out.
