Portfolio update

With markets in such a big mess due to Greece, I made some switches to my portfolio around two weeks ago. For one thing, I don't foresee that the Greece crisis will be resolved so soon, so this time I switched some of my equities to bonds and took profits on some funds as well. And it's a good thing I did; markets continued to fall over this period.

Changes:

Bought Nikko AM Shenton Short Term Bond (S$)

First State Global Resources has plummeted by 30%, and I have decided to switch it to a short duration fund and wait for an opportunity to enter the market again. Thinking of going into Europe because of its cheap valuations, but Europe already takes up quite a substantial portion of my CPF-OA portfolio. Hmm.

No changes. Still looking for a good chance to put the money back into my CPF-SA account. DWS Premier Select Trust is down by 3.06% while First State Bridge is down by 1.44%.

As shown, my cash portfolio's asset allocation (equities - bonds) has changed from 70-30 to 31-69. Aberdeen Pacific Equity was still making money, so I sold off some to take profits. BNPPL1 Eq Russia EUR, Aberdeen European Opportunities and Fidelity Glb Fin Svc EUR were also sold off as I think markets will still go down further. As for DWS SGP small/midCap A SGD, I have decided to invest directly in the Singapore stock market instead of going through a unit trust.

The high allocation to Nikko AM Shenton Short Term Bond (S$) signifies that I am just waiting for a good opportunity to enter the market again. Markets are unbelievably cheap now, but I think there is still room for it to fall further. Will probably enter it in staggered intervals and in small amounts.
