The following are some of the funds I monitored in 2007. I seldom buy funds. the reason is quite obvious. if I can do it my self, why should I feed the fund managers? However, the exception is when I want to invest in certain countries or assets but not available on the SGX, then I had to go through a fund managers.

The global tech fund suffers massive losses since the collapse of dot.com era. Many was hoping that recent bull run could give these fund a hope of recovery. It seems that it is hopeless now. The performanace of Global Tech Fund was not impressive during recent bull run and with uncertain US economy now, there is little chance that these fund will surge. Japan fund also performed poorly in 2007. Japan funds closed lower than it started in 2007. Global property funds also plunged after the expose of US subprime problems. Asia equity funds has satisfactory performance but the best actually comes from India fund. Another outstanding fund is the resource fund. Naturally, with rising resources' price, these fund is able to sustain its performanace.
