Mainland China’s New Economy, media, and education sectors have recently faced selling pressure. However, the silver lining from the policy stance in tightening the rules on China companies seeking listing in the ADR platform is that local firms are now encouraged to list closer to home, broadening the investment offerings in the onshore capital markets of Shanghai and Hong Kong. Read the full CIO Weekly report here.
Watch this 2-min short summary on the report.

For investors stay the course as the CIO remains constructive on the tech sector of strategic importance such as upstream technology, green energy, e-Commerce, leading health care and software applications.

🎯 Set up a solid long term goal and hold yourself accountable
There is no way that you'll one day wake up with everything you need without proper planning. This is where goal-setting and routine check-in take place. Please consider: the inflation rate, possible protection gaps, money for leisure and retirement. Use NAV Planner, a handy planning tool within your digibank app to help gain some perspective. Have your phone on you? Just log into digibank and hit 'Plan'!pexels-karolina-grabowska-4386325 (1).jpg
💹 Investing? Hold your horses
Proceed with caution ONLY AFTER you've accrued at least 6 months of emergency savings (that you do not plan to touch for everyday use). Learn to observe and weigh out your risks. Once confident, aim to have Invested Assets to Net Worth ratio (Assets - Liabilities) of at least 50%. Sounds complicated? It doesn't have to be - get started with a Regular Savings Plan or explore DBS digiPortfolio.pexels-monstera-6289100.jpg
Top up your parents' CPF accounts
Maximise their nest egg and get some tax relief for yours. Get dollar-for-dollar match into the Retirement Account (RA) with Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS) to help senior Singaporeans to meet their Basic Retirement Sum (BRS).**🙋♀️ Admin's note: ** If you're new here, take some time to learn (or refresh!) yourself with financial planning concepts that you might have come across previously. Having some foresight to work on your finances now can help with easing the burdens Future You might have down the road. Stay resilient, everybody!
