USA and SG Stock portfolio (30 y/o goals)

After a year of working, I made my first investment of $10K into VTI. My portfolio has now grown over the past six years. Below, I share my current progress and future goals for 2 portfolios.

US market ($246K>$500K)

Since graduating, I’ve primarily focused on investing in the U.S. stock market, aiming for capital appreciation due to the 30% dividend withholding tax. Over time, I’ve gradually shifted towards the Singapore stock market, focusing on dividends, broader market investments, and specific sectors.

I haven’t been actively managing this portfolio as much as I’ve been on the fence about how to proceed since stock picking already takes up a significant portion of my overall portfolio. 

Meanwhile, I’m working on growing other areas of my investments.

Portfolio goal distribution

  • IBKR: $500K
  • Syfe: $50K (fixed) 
  • Singapore: $250K
  • Endowus: $250K

My goal is to grow my IBKR portfolio to $500K, and I’m considering the best way to achieve that. Right now, U.S. stocks have been rising, with a $43K increase in my portfolio since the election results. 

I need to figure out the specific stocks I want to buy and the price to enter.

Investment Priorities:

  • Avoid a gambling mindset.
  • Stay invested while maintaining diversification.
  • Continue to save and invest consistently.
  • Buying at the dips.

Keepers

  • VTI
  • IWDA
  • MSFT
  • GOOGL
  • META
  • CRM
  • TSLA
  • ASHR
  • JPM
  • AMZN
  • AAPL
  • IBKR

To be considered 

  • EL
  • BAC
  • CROX
  • HUYA
  • GXC
  • YUMC
  • CQQQ
  • CHIQ

SG market ($86K>$250K)

As I am too heavily invested in the US market, I decided to allocate some funds into Singapore market. What’s on my mind: how much to allocate to capital gains (US market) vs dividend stocks (SG market).

Arbitrary allocation is the goal of 75% growth stocks and 25% dividend stocks.

The amount I put in for the Singapore market has dropped drastically as I had reallocate all the funds away from REITs.

Current allocation for Singapore market

  • Banks 76%
  • Reits 24%

Stocks allocation goal

  • YZJ
  • ST engineering
  • HK land
  • SGX
  • REITs
  • OCBC
  • DBS
  • UOB
