Notice that you only has local sg shares for income. Any reasons why not consider overseas shares to avoid the standard "home bias" portfolio allocation?
AK says...
Singapore has ample investment opportunities for the income investor in me.
This is partly also because I am not managing a large multi-million dollar portfolio.
I am not so rich. 😉
And it helps that I am not too greedy. 😛

But does it mean a lack of diversification in non sg assets?
AK says...
If you want geographical diversification, you can always put money in counters which have overseas businesses or assets.
For a while, a big chunk of my money was actually in Japan if you remember Saizen REIT and Croesus Retail Trust, for examples.
Even today, my portfolio has exposure to overseas investments if you look at my top investments. 😉
I see. First reit 🙂

ReplyDeleteAgreed. Even lots of sg listed company are diversifying their business in oversea.
Like my sg portfolio, all of them has quite substantial business oversea and even looking forward to expand even more oversea.
