Comments: Personally, I would not invest in this fund due to the following reasons:

1. Does not fit into my investment objective/portfolio
2. High sales charge for fixed income fund
3. High risks for those who wants to invest in fixed income fund
4. Energy sector might not be in favour due to current economic turmoil. Therefore, there might be some performance lag for the fund in the immediate term.
