Time flies. As the first month of 2026 comes to an end, here is a portfolio update.
My SGX Income Portfolio value increases to $469k from $459k mainly due to resurgence of S-Reits from lower interest rates and unwavered strength of local banks.
My US Growth Portfolio rises to US$50.8k from US$43.8k due to capital injections for nibbling of tech stocks i.e. NVDA and AMZN to build up the growth portfolio.
My SRS Ultra Long-Term Portfolio value rises to $257k from $246k mainly due to the resilience of local banks such as OCBC and DBS.

Looking Ahead: My Strategy for 2026
As we closed out 2025, my "Barbell" approach remains the cornerstone of my financial plan. While the portfolios have shown resilience, the focus for the coming year will shift toward optimization and balance.
1. Aggressive Growth in the US Portfolio My US Growth portfolio is still in its "building phase." In 2026, I intend to continue systematic capital injections into high-conviction names like NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft. My goal is to let the "Magnificent" tech drivers provide the capital appreciation that complements my steady SGX dividends.
2. Defending the Income Fortress With the SGX Income portfolio sitting at over $450k, the focus here is less about aggressive buying and more about yield maintenance. I will be monitoring interest rate trends closely—as rates stabilize or dip further, I expect my heavy weighting in REITs (Mapletree, Frasers, Aims Apac) to see a healthy valuation recovery.
3. The SRS "Compounder" The local banks (DBS and OCBC) have been the MVPs of my SRS portfolio this year. For 2026, I will likely keep this portfolio on "autopilot," allowing the dividends to be reinvested back into the STI’s strongest blue chips.
Final Thoughts: Investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Whether the market is up or down in 2026, my plan remains the same: stay invested, collect dividends, and buy quality on the dips.
