Happy Labour Day! Here is a portfolio update for Apr 2026.
My SGX Income Portfolio value climbs to $457k from $438k mainly due to added investment of Capitaland Ascendas Reit from preferential offering, strengthening of DBS from latest stellar results and rebound of S-Reits due to latest decent earnings.
My US Growth Portfolio increases to US$83.2k from US$66.6k lifted by the Iran war fears subsiding, broader geopolitical tensions easing, and strong earnings across my tech holdings.
My SRS Ultra Long-Term Portfolio value rises to $270k from $260k mainly due to the resilience of DBS and OCBC.

The 2026 investment landscape is currently defined by a polycrisis of geopolitical instability and sticky inflation, as the escalating Middle East conflict sends ripples through global energy markets and disrupts traditional recovery timelines. This environment of heightened VIX levels and "higher-for-longer" interest rate narratives can tempt even the most disciplined investors to retreat to cash; however, the strategy for the year is to view this turbulence not as a signal to exit, but as a repositioning phase.
By maintaining a Barbell approach - anchoring the portfolio in the high-yield, defensive stability of SGX banks and REITs while systematically accumulating "Magnificent" US tech leaders during periods of emotional selling, we effectively turn market volatility into a long-term compounding tool. The goal is to remain "unshakeable" by focusing on the underlying cash flows of quality assets rather than the fluctuating headlines, ensuring that when the geopolitical dust eventually settles, our capital is already positioned for the inevitable recovery.
