Portfolio Update September 2024

Before we end off September 2024, let me quickly take a snapshot of my investment portfolios. 

Despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties in the world, my overall portfolio value has continued to grow, reflecting the resilience of my long-term investment strategy.

My SGX Income Portfolio value has seen a steady increase to $399k from $384k driven by the recovery of local S-Reits benefiting from the interest rate cuts starting from Sep 2024.

My US/HK Growth Portfolio has also seen a positive performance, rising to US$18.8k from US$17.8k.

My SRS Ultra Long-Term Portfolio value has experienced a modest uptick to $183k from $182k.

Market Outlook 

The US stock market has continued its upward trajectory in a healthy bull run on the back of looming presidential election and higher certainty of a lower interest rate environment in the coming future. Nonetheless, there will still be immense volatility from the occasional noises and fears attributable to ongoing geopolitical conflicts, and concerns about a potential economic recession. Despite these challenges, I believe that long-term investors should remain calm and focused on our investment objectives.

Investment Strategy 

My investment strategy remains unchanged. I continue to prioritize high-quality income-producing instruments, such as government-backed risk-free bonds, property related assets, and strong profitable growth businesses. By carefully diversifying my portfolio and remaining disciplined, I aim to weather any market storms and achieve my long-term financial goals.
