Totally understandable to want to have cash .. as much to scoop up other bargains than as a worry about your existing holding.

That being said, IMF is one of my largest holdings and I like to think its somewhat less sensitive to general market gyrations. Benefits of not being in too many indexes means it can run its own course .. a poor economy or market in Aus or overseas wont impact IMF materially (currency and cost of funding aside) so am comfortable holding this one throughout general market jitters.
