New Fund: OSK-UOB US Legendary Fund

Failed to be Warren Buffett? How about exposing to the performance of his investment company, Berkshire Hathaway? Not a bad idea though.


The latest fund, launched by OSK-UOB, aims to provide capital appreciation over the short-term (18 months) whilst aiming to preserve investors' capital on the Maturity date. This is not a capital guaranteed or protected fund.


This is a wholesale fund which was structured to capitalize on the performance of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., such that the positive performance of the company and its out-performance against the Standard and Poor's 500 Index will provide the fund with returns during the recovery and rebuilding of the US economy.

Structure...
The fund will invest 100% of its NAV in a non-capital protected RM denominated structured investment issued by a domestically incorporated financial institution with a rating of at least 'A' by RAM Rating Services Berhad or its equivalent rating by any other reputable rating agency.

The Structured Investment has embedded options (comprising the underlying reference i.e. the Berkshire Hathaway Inc-Class B shares and the S&P500 index) with a payoff determined only at Maturity Date.


About Berkshire Hathaway Inc. - Class B shares

Berkshire's principal operations are insurance business conducted nationwide on a primary basis and worldwide on a reinsurance basis. Berkshire's other operations include The Buffalo News, aviation training, and retail furniture businesses, as well as shoe, candy and rug manufacturing.

Career Lessons from Breaking Bad

AMC's Breaking Bad ended with a bang last Sunday, leaving viewers generally content and definitely shell shocked. Though the ride is over, we can finally look back at the series and reflect on how we can learn from both Heisenberg's victories and mistakes. How can a meth kingpin help you and your future careers? Here are some takeaways : 1. Be hard to replace   : Find a specific skill set and make sure you are good enough that nobody can quickly take your place. Whether it be modeling, analysis, writing, communication, or even a certain product with a 99.1% purity, having a specific niche or strength can ensure job security.

Who really benefits when the regulators strangle the banks?  Do banks really need to get much more conservative in their lending practices?  Why does the government know best?  How far can you stretch the FDIC guarantees before American banking is simply a subsid...
