Special Offer: End in 10th June, 2012 (Sunday) HK time

Dear Investors,

The trouble of Europe has extended to result in more fear on the market, as Warren Buffett said, "Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful" is the fundamental winning formula in investment, thus i suggest if you have no time to invest and want to get a grip of the investment do subscribe to this fund, the following are the major benefit of my fund.

1. MEHCalvin Fund is an open-fund, which means investors can subscribe and withdraw your money anytime you want, however in special occasion esp. huge market drops like now, I will send out invitation like the last one to remind investors the chance, of course i normally accept subscription as well, however frankly speaking you won't get much when it is "peaceful" on the market, if you want to get the best out of your capital, you must buy when the market is "shocking".

2. MECHCalvin Fund is also a no-load fund, which means 1. no commission, 2. no front charge and 3. no 12b-1 charge. Neglect my job as a salesman, i hate both commission and all charges on fund, as you can see how much the fee affect your returns as shown in the pictures below.



like many great fund managers in the past, i believe the fund's performance should already speak for itself, salesmen are not required, however i support consultant fee, which should be paid to those adviser who give good advise to investors, yet this expense should not be included within the fund.

3. MECHCalvin probably the first fund do not charge management fee, performance fee as well, also the entry fee is as low as HK$1, as no-load fund do have management fee, MECHCalvin Fund should be the first fund that is completely free. Of course there are spending for this fund, e.g. bank charges for sell/buy stock, yet it will be too insignificant will not affect the performance at all.

4. However, MECHCalvin do charge 1% withdraw fee when you withdraw your money, it is an act to encourage people stay here for long term investment, which also is the key to earn from fund investment, those people want to switch between funds 30 times a year usually gain nothing, the only way for you to gain from investment is to put your money into those will have long term growth, then do nothing but wait for it to growth.

Within this special offer period, this 1% withdraw fee will be waived for any subscription is made between now and the 10th of June.

This is an replied for those who constantly worry this will affect my business, as Warren said: "As a businessman have made me a better investors, and as an investor have made me become a better businessman." they help each other rather than conflict with each other.

There are also concern about the possible conflict of interest between my job working in Manulife who offer mutual funds, my answers is: my job title is an insurance adviser, my trust in Manulife is always place in insurance and retirement planning rather than their funds, Manulife is an insurance company after all, in fact all my clients know my view on Manulife's mutual funds, that they are never the strength of this company. My association with Manulife's fund usually are from MPF and monthly investment plan, which we have able to offer extremely good platforms rather than extremely good funds.

i hope by the end of the 10th of June, i will able to collect at least HK$100,000 to get ready, so far i have roughly ~HK$25,000 waiting to be collected up-to-date.

The current unit price (up-to-April) is 1.1454, for example if you invest HK$10, you will get 10/1.1454 = 8.7305 unit.

please contact me for details if you want to invest into this fund

best wishes,

Calvin

p.s. what is 12b-1 charge?: An extra fee charged by some mutual funds to cover promotion, distributions, marketing expenses, and sometimes commissions to brokers, differ from management fee or front charge

公告: 御龍基金轉名為莫菲斯基金



御龍基金(Dragon-Tamer Fund)現改名為莫菲斯基金(Morpheus Fund)

莫菲斯Morpheus是荷里活科幻電影,駭客任務(港譯:廿二世紀殺人網絡,原名:The Matrix)的一個虛構角色,其中電影最為人知的鏡頭,是莫菲斯要主角尼歐(Neo)選擇吃下紅藍兩顆藥丸中的一顆。在這套電影的情節中,這個世界的人是生活在一個擬的電腦內而不自知,只有小部份生活在真實世界的人才知道真相,他們希望「」所有在虛假中被騙的人類,但他們還是可以選擇是否願意被「」。

根據電影,如果你吃下藍色的藥丸,就當沒有事情發生過,繼續過自己的生活,繼續相信自己一直相信的人事物,繼續生活在適但虛假的世界中;但如果你吃下紅色的藥丸,就會被帶離適但虛假的世界,進入痛苦但真實的世界,而莫菲斯就是擁有這兩顆藥丸的人。電影中的主角最後當然選擇了紅色的藥丸,要不是哪來三套戲做? 



所以新名稱的理解很簡單,莫菲斯基金的基金經理認為,市場大部份的投資人都是活在虛假中而不自知,相信一些大眾都認為是合理其實是錯誤的東西,而他希望能夠透過這個基金「」一部份人看清真相。

P.S. 但真正改名背後是由我老豆一手推動的,原因不會在這裡多說,如有興趣就私底下問,總之整個故事就有點令人汗顏的感覺。

2012年4月基金報告: 特洛伊城跟希臘的戰船



4月份的股票表現很不錯, 又升了4%, 基金就一般般, 恆指上升了不小, 本基金都是和大市打個平手, 在股市未有大波動的時候, 不會有甚麼超級機會, 所以沒有甚麼太特別的東西. 這個月我唯一見到可買入的機會是新鴻基地產(HKG:0016), 新鴻基因為受郭炳江、郭炳聯及前政務司司長許仕仁涉嫌觸犯《防止賄賂條例》的案件的拖累下跌, 現在其股價是被低估的, 可惜新鴻基一手要成1000, 現在可買不起, 這時我想起巴菲特的名句: 當我年輕的時候看到太多機會, 但沒有資金, 現在我太少機會, 卻大把資金 :( 所以我預期如無意外未來幾個月都不會有甚麼大改變, 平平穩穩.

上圖是從電影特洛伊(Troy)剪出來的,特洛伊的故事以荷馬史詩之伊里亞德為中心, 故事說當時希臘國王為爭奪世上最漂亮的女人海倫, 聯合遠征特洛伊城, 希臘的軍人數有十萬人,船數一千一百八十六. 這是我第二次看這套電影, 2004年第一次看的時候根本未進入金融行業, 當現在再看一次的時候, 這景象就是現代基金業的寫照, 市場數以千計的基金船隻(希臘戰船), 期望打敗擁有巨大的防禦城牆的特洛伊城(大市), 但有多少做得到呢?

以前基金業開始的時候可不是以打敗大市為目標的, 基金經理們用「幾百元就能投資國際市場」, 及「分散風險」 為賣點, 就以「有增長就當勝利」為目標穩收管理費, 後來愈來愈多人看到這是一門十分穩健的生意, 基金成立就愈來愈多, 加上公司的大力推銷, 現在連退休的強積金也必須是基金.

基金經理們說他們如何積極地找尋良好的投資機會, 說服投資者投下信心的一票, 結果最後很多人由「財富大幅增值」, 變到「不輸錢已經當贏」, 後來化身大市, 被動式管理的指數基金(index fund)的出現, 更令大眾發現不用管理的基金, 竟然比大部份基金經理「積極管理」的基金表現更好, 管理費更低!這真是一場惡夢!

可是惡夢歸惡夢, 市場上「積極管理」的基金雖然十之八九都輸給大市, 但基金卻愈出愈多, 我們公司今個月又多了5隻新基金, 你說是不是就像上圖一樣? 所有船隻都向同一方向走, 結果只有一兩隻可攻入特洛伊城, 其他雖然不致沉船, 但也只有慢駛回家鄉的份兒.

不得否認麥加文基金就是眾多軍艦的其中一架, 而且是很小的一架, 我卻知道她會是最後的少數贏家之一!不單是贏家, 而且是免費去贏, 因為我是最好的 :P
