In the world of investing, things come and go.

Despite a booming high-tech market, 2024 saw significant outflows from thematic ETFs, totaling around $6.5 billion. Interest waned across sectors like natural resources and cloud computing.

The ARK Innovation ETF, run by the so-called "female warren buffet", experienced nearly $3 billion in withdrawals amidst the S&P 500 bull market.

How many times do people tell you to buy and hold an ETF and you can be financially free? This chart tells you the strategy doesn't work. If you hold emerging market index fund for the past 14 years, you only get an average 2% return. 📉 The lesson learned is that it is the market you chose that matters, not just the strategy itself.

Deutsche Bank research estimates the impact of the US tariffs. Apparently, the impact on Singapore can be big but it is not certain as Singapore has a free trade agreement with the US.

Judging by the recent SG stocks performance, the market is quite optimistic about the situation.

Just an update on the above article.

The balloting of Emerald of Katong (EOK) just ended today. The cheque count (the number of people who registered for the first-day sale) was 3,629. Out of which, VIP, agent and bulk (multiple) purchases added up to 589.

Note there are only 846 units in EOK.

It is going to be a chaotic weekend on the first sale day on Nov 16. 😳 Good luck!🙏

This is a reminder for all the retirees. 🧓💰

Scam is not always get-rich-quick scheme, and retirees tend to fall into such trap just trying to get a decent yield. 💸

Always deal with MAS licensed entities when you want to invest your money. 👮‍♂️💰

I had the privilege of picking the brains of Derrick, Managing Director, Client Portfolio Manager and Sabrina Gobind, Head of FA Partnerships at Manulife Investment Management over coffee. We had a deep dive into Singapore and HK REITs markets:

‣ Challenge of REITs in the past 3 years and what is next.
‣ The essential factors to look for in a REIT
‣ How to build a stable and high-quality REIT portfolio.

Can't wait to share these insights at our upcoming FRM meet-up this Saturday!
