LIVE RICH LIFE FREE: Portfolio Update June 2024

This is a quick update of my investment portfolios for June 2024 before I fly off for a China trip funded by dividends.

My SGX Income Portfolio value decreases to $359k from $365k.

My US/HK Growth Portfolio value inches up to US$18.6k from US$18.5k.

My SRS Ultra Long-Term Portfolio value stagnates at $168k.

The US stock markets have challenged new highs amidst uncertainties over interest rates, ongoing wars and fears of economic recession. US 10-year and 30-year government yields have declined and the Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates high with a possibility of no rate cut for the year.

Despite being clouded by uncertainties, immense noises and fears, it is crucial that long-term investors like us always remain calm, unwavered and focused on our investment objectives. Stick to our own plan and continue deploying our financial resources into high quality income-producing instruments such as government-backed risk-free bonds, property assets, or strong growth businesses tactfully according to our own risk appetite.

Besides subscribing to Singapore Savings Bonds and rolling over Alphabet call option, I did not make any other moves in the stock markets. I also collected some dividends towards the end of 2024 mid-year.
