They will ignore short term fluctuation. This "noise" is meaningless.
Since they are holding each shares in big volumn, so they cannot
sell/buy freely as we are and they should not buy/sell too frequent.
There are many internal restriction.

But if the fundamental is changed or their target is reached, they will
sell.

unless many investors want to redeem, the unit trust will still hold.

Hope so. I have over USD100K there.

by the time if fund managers reposition their portfolios, the market is already in pretty bad shape

係會索性坐貨....may be

I don't usually invest in funds but some markets, you can never participate in directly eg. Russia, Latin America, India and Vietnam.

Vietnam? I know JF 's Vietnam fund was fully subscribed on day 1.
And we can only invest in Vietnam by Asean fund, but the Vietnam
portion is very little and classified in the "Others" section.

Which Vietnam fund do u buy?

u have to understand that mutual fund can lend their shares to other financial institution (Margin) and that they are able to bid down prices and make a profit in that process.  Small investors like us CAN ONLY bid prices up and earn a return but BIG MUTUAL FUND and others financial instituion can make a return either by a) bidding up prices or b) by holdings shares and then bid down prices while buying on MARGIN

Whether the funds can use any derivatives to lend or borrow any shares should depend on the fund nature when estabilised. For many traditional funds, they can only hold shares and cash but not allowed to use any  derivatives. Also, the % of cash is well stated inside the fund rules.

So in case if the market crashes, the traditional funds can only cash the shares as much as possible. But since cash can only occuply a few %, so the fund price cannot escape fm dropping.

Since traditional funds can win on 1 direction trading, there are some new kind of funds. The absolute return and freestyle funds.

Absolute return can use derivatives to trade on both sides. However, the entry is USD50K and most likely, they will charge "performance fee". But in a pure bullish wave, the performance of an absolute return funds should be less than a traditional funds, becoz absoulte funds should use part of the cash to hedge for downturn risk, while the traditional funds can use all resource for catching the upturn wave.

Freestyle can have much feasiblity to hold more % of cash. For example if the market downturns, the freestyle can hold 100% cash insteads of shares. It all depends on the policies when the funds establised.
