I heard my friend who working in CIMB securities department, she said most of malaysia mutual funds not involve in short selling like futures and options. But I found some mutual funds in SG & HK, they have applied the futures trading in the funds. this is one of the example shown in attachment.
For this example, you can see that the allocation for futures is 73%, ETF 14% and equity just 11%. This mean that if facing economy crisis, this fund still got a way to escape it by trading with futures but if 90% is equity, most likely this fund will go downtrend locking with the crisis.
Thanks RSTusa. That's what i'm planning to do - Asset Allocate a xx% for "IF kaka happens, this automatically...", thus i can focus on other stuff ;PFor this example, you can see that the allocation for futures is 73%, ETF 14% and equity just 11%.
