Question 5 (25 marks) The table below illustrates the performance of returns of three (3) funds managed by three (3) different fund managers. The funds are Eastspring Investment Dinasty Equity fund (EIDF), Eastspring Investment Japan Dynamic MY-AUD Hedged (EIJD) and Kenanga Growth fund (KGF). As an amateur investor who are looking to diversify my risk, I planned to combine one of these funds into my existing portfolio. For convenience, the benchmark indices for each of these funds: DJ Islamic Market Greater China Index, MSCI Japan JPY Index and Kuala Lumpur Composite Index, the Malaysian 3-months treasury bills rate are also provided. Given that the Beta for the EIDF, EIJD, KGF are 0.75, 0.9923 and 0.9532 respectively, advise on which fund has been performing better or worse than others and suggest a fund I should select considering the current economic condition. Identify the possible strategy these managers have performed (passive or active) over their period of investment.
