There are always a lack of transparency as most funds are launched according to the theme-play of each season.But one thing in common which I've noticed is there is cross-holding and conflict of interest.
The funds are used to buy cronies listed companies or are being used as favours to rescue some of the government link companies that are in distress.This is very common practise in some of the mutual funds in South-East Asian countries.That's why they don't need assistance from the Internatinol Monetary Fund.
So the old school of thoughts of building one's retirement nest-egg in mutual is now a bloody bullshit and a fraud.It's also den of high risk.
Henceforth investors might as well managed their own funds and not to be taken in by those glamourous photos of high profile directors or fund managers in the prospectus.
They are like zombies out to suck your blood.But their bottom like is SALES and BONUSES to please their bosses.
