August 2023 Portfolio Updates

Portfolio allocation as of August ’23.

  • SG Shares: CDG, DBS, Haw Par, SGX, Valuetronics
  • SG Reits: Syfe Reit+, DigiCore Reit
  • US Growth: BABA, INMD, PYPL, SHOP, TDOC, UPST
  • US ETFs: SCHD, QUAL

August was a decent month for adding to my existing positions. I bought more of 2800HK amid the China real estate fears, and added to my Syfe Reit+ portfolio multiple times.

In my previous posts, I have shared about having an asset allocation target of 50% Singapore, 30% rest of world and 20% China. Recent events have led me to rethink this allocation, thus I have made the following adjustments to my allocation targets.

  Previous Target New Target
STI ETF 10% 20%
SG Stocks 20% 15%
S-Reits 20% 15%
HSI ETF 20% 15%
Global ETF 30% 35%

Reasons for the change:

  • I want the portfolio to be even more passive, hence actively managed SG Stocks will be reduced to 15%
  • Having a higher weightage towards global stocks (35%) versus China exposure via HSI (15%) to reduce single country
