IME Unit Trust Investment Portfolio 2017 - Portfolio Changes as of 25 July 2017

Latest update from "The Guided Investor" indicates there is a change to the attractiveness to invest into India. The 25th July 2017 update indicates that India has become unattractive to invest into.

India has become unattractive to invest into

Since this is a quick post, I am recommending investors to redeem/sell the fund with exposure into India. For the our IME Unit Trust Investment Combination portfolio, Manulife India Equity Fund which takes up 10% of the portfolio will be sold.

For the Shariah portfolio, the exposure to India is via Aberdeen Islamic Asia Pacific ex Japan Equity and it only represents a small percentage of the fund's allocation. Therefore I would recommend that this fund remains in the IME Unit TRust Investment Shariah Compliant portfolio 

Note: Will further update information on the sales of Manulife India Equity Fund in this blog post.
