Thursday: 23 SEPTEMBER 2010 ELCANE LOONG elcanology@hotmail.com; RE: [RHBInvest-Yahoo!] FBM KLCI is falling > 1% Hi all! History is repeated! After PM Najib's announcement in April 2010 on Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) & NKEA, KLCI fell throughout May! Now [September 2010] after yet again of another ETP briefing, KLCI show similar patterns!! If tomorrow market falls, you should be able to make $$ by shorting the FKLI futures!! At 4.30pm, KLCI is down around 17pts and spot month FKLI is down 22pts both are more than 1%. BEWARE! In October 2010 there'll be another ETP breifing again by Idris Jala, Pemandu CEO! History could well again be repeated!! |

Maybank among best-capitalised banks in Asia
Dated: 02.05.2009
Source: Business Times The bank has completed its RM6.02 billion rights issue exercise, with the shares listed on Bursa Malaysia on Thursday
Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) (1155) is now one of the best-capitalised banks in Asia after the successful completion of the RM6.02 billion rights issue exercise. This positioning will support its aspiration to be among the top five banks in South and Southeast Asia by size and performance by 2015, Maybank president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar said. The rights shares, listed on Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd on Thursday and said to be the largest in Malaysian corporate history, were oversubscribed by 128 per cent. Abdul Wahid said it reflected strong investor confidence in the Maybank brand and long-term growth strategy of the group.

Banks need to reduce leverage to absorb losses SINGAPORE Mr Heng said that banks need to reduce leverage and have a higher quality and quantity of capital to absorb losses. The Basel Committee has agreed on the need for standards relating to capital, liquidity and leverage. The first set of parameters for core capital have been carefully constructed following the consideration of conditions in the various economies. The phase-in arrangement for the new benchmarks strikes an important balance between strengthening the financial system and supporting economic recovery. Mr Heng said: “The phase in arrangement for the new benchmarks strikes an important balance between strengthening the financial system and supporting economic recovery.” He added: “As we phase in these measures we need to be vigilant that these do not have unintended consequences on credit availability and economic growth, or in reducing diversity in the financial system.” Mr Heng added that new macro-prudential tools and approaches should also be explored. Macro-prudential regulations promote the stability of the overall financial system, and not just that of individual institutions. The managing director of MAS said:“In the coming years, we will be focusing on some new tools such as counter cyclical capitalwill need to be assessed over time, and against other options. We need to agree on the right set of policy tools to deal with systemic risks with the least unintended consequences.”. Their effectiveness This approach is in line with the two themes for this year’s ICBS — building a more resilient banking system, and creating a stable financial environment for sustained economic growth. Meanwhile Mr Nout Wellink, chairman of the Basel Committee who also spoke at the ICBS said the moves to improve banks’ capital, risk coverage and leverage ratio will help decrease the risks of a banking system failure. “Banks can meet the new standards through earnings retention, capital raising, or reducing their riskier exposures that are not necessarily associated with the granting of credit to ultimate borrowers,” Mr Wellink added. — Better micro-prudential reforms are needed to promote the stability of the financial system. That is according to Mr Heng Swee Kiat, managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore or MAS, speaking at the International Conference of Banking Supervisors (ICBS) yesterday.Rachel Kelly As we phase in these measures, we need to be vigilant that these do not have unintended consequences on credit availability and economic growth or in reducing diversity in the financial system. Mr Heng Swee Kiat, managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore |

Perils of the financial safety net COMMENTARY Jan M Rosen SHAKEN by what seemed to be an earthquake in the world’s financial markets two years ago, millions of retirees fled to safety, shifting their holdings into savings accounts, Treasury bills, money market funds or certificates of deposit.
Dr Jason T Thomas
Dr Thomas also favours real estate investment trusts because they are “an opportunity to buy into a depressed market” and many pay dividends of 5 per cent and higher.
Commodities are “an unloved asset class”, but holding them or an exchange-traded fund that holds them is a way to hedge against rising prices of raw materials in the future.
When buying high-yield bonds, he prefers a fund because of its professional management and diversified holdings.
He said he would avoid most Treasury and corporate bonds for now because interest rates are so low. As rates rise, bond prices fall, so holders may have to keep the bonds until maturity to get their principal back. In repositioning a portfolio, Dr Thomas said: “Don’t do it all at once; do it in steps.” Mr Mark L Pollard
It maybe necessary to temper expectations.”
Still, he said, a prudent investor can do much better than staying in cash or Treasury bills. A portfolio of high-quality stocks can yield dividends of 4 per cent and offer a potential for long-term capital appreciation.
Retirees who have enough for basic expenses from other holdings, pensions or Social Security and are bullish on the underlying stock might find the notes attractive for generating income, provided they are comfortable with the downside risk. Mr Jamie Kalamarides
Yet, as investors, they tend to be risk-averse.
He recommended slowly shifting to a diversified portfolio from money market funds and CD’s. Traditionally, that would include preferred stocks and bonds, and perhaps a fixed annuity for guaranteed income.
Today, he said, Prudential and others offer a new generation of annuities with a guaranteed minimum-withdrawal benefit.
The product is meant to overcome misgivings about traditional annuities while providing lifetime income, appreciation if the market rises, flexibility in withdrawing money and money for the estates of holders who die within 20 years. Ms Elizabeth Schlueter
The New York Times Now, they are suffering from the aftershocks: With short-term interest rates well below 1 per cent, their assets are not producing enough income for daily living expenses. What to do? There is no quick answer to that question but four leading financial advisers offered a variety of ideas for investing with significantly better yields while limiting risk. Diversifying portfolios is a main theme and it’s important to analyse cash flow and assess financial priorities, distinguishing between needs like money for food and utilities and favourite outlays like family gifts that may no longer be practical. Some may discover that, although portfolio values have fallen in the last two years, their assets are still sufficient for their long-term needs. Others may have to rethink their financial plans and tailor their portfolios accordingly. What follows are the advisers’ suggestions: |
