    Your risk appetite is like a compass guiding your financial decisions. 🌍💰

    16e1c22e-ab3f-463f-ad52-bdf1636f3f53-image.png

    Age, financial situation, knowledge, and even life goals affect the levels of risk you're willing to stomach. This matters because aligning your risk appetite with your investment decisions can make or break your financial success. https://www.dbs.com.sg/treasures/articles/wealth-feed/understand-product-risk-rating

    Consider the past couple of years – market twists, global shifts, and regulatory changes have been the backdrop of our financial landscape. 📈🌎 These dynamic shifts have encouraged many to pause, reflect, and possibly reassess their risk tolerance.

    Now that things are somewhat stabilizing to a new kind of normal... Are you more or less risk averse compared to last year?

    I have heard many instances that people lose money from buying UT. Is it safe?

    Any tips on how i can start? Am still paying off my student loans and do not have a lot when it comes to disposable cash to invest. Would also say that i am moderately risk adverse, so anything crypto is something i'll not be comfortable investing in.

    Are you taking advantage of this promo which helped me to save cost on RSP to earn multiplier interest?

    Luckily there was this promo too 3 years ago, so my unrealised loss on UT is lower (see a separate post)

    I am not a believer in DCA investing. I invested in 2 unit trust (RSP) just to qualify for Multiplier bonus interest about 3 years ago. I decided to hold the investment (less than 1k) to see how it performs in this downward to sideways market while earning monthly and quarterly dividends. It had been dancing at a loss < $200 in the past 2 + years., waiting for the market recover.

    When will the market recover?

    Recently, DBS started imposing a fee of $2.70 on CPFIS Tbill maturity! However, this fee is not listed in the schedule of fees/charges. Is maturity = sale transaction?

    But the other 2 Banks do not impose a fee on maturity of CPFIS Tbill!

    Now I have to "crack my head" on how to beat this "inflation"!

    DBS is having the upcoming 9.9 extra bonus day:

    Details here : https://www.dbs.com.sg/personal/extrabonusday

    For me I'm expectant for the $18 cashback from Unit Trust & Digiportfolio.

    There's 2 Sustainability linked UT to choose from, Ninety One Global Environment Fund & BNP Paribas Global Environment Fund.

    Let me know your thoughts if you concur with me and which of the two you are going for!

    I'll be going for the BNP Paribas fund because it's more well established with a good track record. However, downside is that the price is slightly more pricy than the Ninety One.

    #AskCIOFriday is back 🎈 The floor is open and we're taking questions back to the Chief Investment Office (CIO) team! Send them in below ⬇

    This week's topic: Old but Gold. Gold prices saw a turnaround from one of history's weakest quarters in 1Q21. This tends to happen when realised inflation is rising, demand is high and economies are re-opening. Read 'Alternatives: Gold 3Q21' report in full here.

    Highlights from the 3Q21 CIO Insights Gold report:

    Gold for currency hedging. This year, DM currencies have held up better than emerging Asian ones. The need to hedge currencies in Asia – amid rising inflation and virus resurgence – are boosting demand for gold among Asian investors.

    Gold shines as a stable alternative investment. We see potential new demand for gold arising from central banks looking to raise their allocation as part of their reserve management. The recent high volatility and price drop in cryptocurrencies also present opportunities for gold to shine.

    It will be a production growth story this year for gold and silver miners. Mining companies have expressed upbeat exploration progress and M&A opportunities. Gold mining securities should benefit from higher demand and rising prices. We (CIO) prefer larger, senior miners which demonstrate better cost and portfolio optimisation, and carry higher ESG ratings.

    THE DBS CIO OFFICE ...
    Remains constructive on the med*um-term outlook for gold. The forecasts for gold remain at USD2,000/oz for the rest of the year.
