5-10 funds is pretty difficult to manage for me. Less than 5 is ok. I usually invest the minimum 1k and then put in 100-200 every month and I monitor the fund performance closely.

Before buying any fund I will have a look at its past performance vs the KLCI index. If it is underperforming compared to it's peers (other similar funds) then I won't look at it. I will look at the top 3 and decide.

abitnuts... a top fund this year may be not top next year. this is why lipper have a group so called 'leaders'. a consistent performing fund is better bet as we dont know which fund may be better next year? when you buy last year's winner, you may already be buying high, hence no much potential for further growth. hence its better to go for a consistent performer than the best

i see that you are using dollar cost averaging? smile.gif

Yup, you're not wrong when you say that a top fund this year may not be top next year. I do go through lipper as part of my fund analysis. As for whether picking a consistent performer, well it might depend on a few things like my risk appetite and so on.
