The guy above is not realistic in his expectations.
Not really.

There a few funds that manage to exceed 15% slightly over long term, but they are all single developing country focused funds like Indo, Thai, Malaysia etc who happen to be at the right place right time.

Anyway looks like the party is over and they are all being whacked down now as they are too concentrated in a country which is undergoing steep correction.

For funds that focus on Singapore-based companies, the best performer is Arbedeen which has LT returns of ~10%.
