Portfolio update as of 28 Jan 2012

Posted by admin

Since August I’ve made a few bets and portfolio adjustments. They were noted in my previous blog posts.

Some re-adjustments includes:

  • Shifting assets away from US Treasuries
  • Cutting of US Equities, moving towards International equities
  • Buying ?other better graded Country Government Bonds
  • Betting on Fix-income – Municipals Bond Funds (tax free)
  • Added a little more on REIT

Yield
Current Yield sits at circa 10.9% P.A or 7.63% P.A after NRA taxable income, or 0.63% per month. That just amounts on average about USD190 or SGD$242 per month based on current USD/SGD FX rates.

Breakdown

You’ll notice I have added 100% onto Municipals Bond Funds, after cutting out some US equities. The reason was explained in my previous posts when the US treasuries was downgraded. Not sure if the next payment, will Obama and their team of politicians discuss the issue of temporarily raising the debt limit again (though after the downgrade the yields were pushed even lower).

In terms of breakdown:

  • Fix-Income / Debt instrument @ 64%
  • Equities a.k.a stocks @ 27%
  • REIT @ 9%

In my next post I will present some interesting findings and why I mentioned is was a good bet, and you’ll see thru the charts just how the money inflows and outflows are going, and the all-rounded way of diversifying in terms of different asset class as an Asset allocation based strategy.
