Anyone know what is the performance for AMB SmallCap fund since 2004?

Can share how is the sales charge/entry charge is? Is it according to funds or what?

I never try buying funds online, quite curious on how it goes.

Kidsave and GIFT are great, but I can't say the same to Malaysia Dividen.

u can check the charges here

Lets say I wanted to buy OSK-UOB Big Cap China, the sales charge is 2.00%? Do I need to add in the management fees as well?

nope, FSM only charges according to the table. Management fees, trustee fees are all depended on the fund houses itself.

is it good now to invest on small cap public mutual funds? this fund is a hot one and do very well for its history.

since this year maybe the year for voting in our country. do you think that it will effect the funds performance with the political uncertainty?

For this Public Small Cap Fund, it's the best fund in the past 3, 5 & 10 years. Of course, the previous history does not guarantee the future outcome. No one can know the next wave, but if you practice the RCA (Ringgit Cost Averaging), it's unlikely to lose your investment in this Public Small Cap.

Public Mutual Small Cap Fund will be closed for new investment and additional investment from 05 May 2011. (Thursday)

Just opened for a very short period???

haha! call me if you are in PG wanted to know more details about P Small Cap Fund. Time is Money.

that is ok. I invested in P Small Cap when it was 1st launched, around 10 years ago.

Therefore you should know the answer why it get closed so fast :-)

Haha!

What the reason behind it why it re-open to public again?

One of the possible reasons is because fund manager saw opportunity in the market and they need funding to execute their plans.

How many unit they open to sell?

less than 200m, because existing unitholders is already exceeded 500m, the total fund size is 700m

Why the total fund size need a limit? It can't be over 1bil?

Each Fund has fund size required to get approval from SC before offering to Public. Few of PMF got bigger fund size more than 1B units. However this P Small Cap has 700millions units approved to launched on 13.06.2000.
Fund Manager reserves right to close/apply to increase the fund size when it is strategy necessary to do so in order to manage the fund more effectively and efficient. KLSE currently have about 15% of total listed companies that having those market capitalisation of RM1.25billion and below. If you have too big fund size, you may not have sufficient counters for the Fund Manager to utilize the funds for investment. Therefore, it does not needs BIG Fund Size more than RM1B units.

Objective of P Small Cap Fund
To achieve high capital growth through investments in companies with market capitalisation of RM1.25 billion and below, with special focus on growth stocks. It is not neccesary to get bigger fund size if those invested counters are limited to those small capatali

Financial Year End: August 31
Distribution Policy: Incidental. (It is not guarantee, however if the fund performance is good in previous 12 months, it is unlikely No Distribution)

Strategy

Public SmallCap focuses primarily on investments in companies that are not highly capitalise i.e. market capitalisation at or less than RM1.25 billion, with the aim of achieving high capital growth over the long-term through investments in such companies that possess the capacity to grow strongly. The fund seeks to achieve this goal by maintaining a reasonable level of exposure to equities over time in a diversified portfolio of small to medium sized companies with growth prospects that are listed on the KLSE. Generally, companies with reasonably good earnings growth prospect over the medium to long-term are sought. In identifying such companies, the fund relies on fundamental research where the financial health, industry prospects, management quality and past track records of the companies are considered.

The fund has investments in fixed income securities such as sovereign bonds, corporate debt and money market instruments to help generate returns. Where yields are attractive and interest rate trends are favourable, the investment in bonds are increased. In general, however, the investment in bonds and fixed income assets are raised at the expense of equity allocations when weaknesses in the equity markets are anticipated. Conversely, when the equity markets are expected to perform well, the funds are reallocated from fixed income assets to equities.

To achieve increased diversification, the fund may invest in markets abroad where the returns are promising. The fund may also consider attractive investments in unlisted equities, particularly in companies that are expected to seek listing on the KLSE within two years. To mitigate risks, the fund may also invest in futures and options contracts to hedge against market volatility. The lack of liquidity in the small-capitalised stocks in the equity portfolio, in particular, may result in fund experiencing significant volatilities in times of adverse market movements.
Equity Range of Fund: 70% to 80%
