I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Singapore investors have unrealistic income expectations: Schroders survey

Sep 14, 20161:38 PM

SINGAPORE investors are an overly-optimistic lot, with the millennials here particularly more bullish and confident of their investment returns, a survey has found.

The average investor in the city-state expects a 9.2 per cent minimum return on their investments per year, according to the Schroders Global Investor Survey 2016. This is a stark contrast to the average stockmarket yield of only 3.8 per cent.

This over-optimism is more pronounced among millennials, who expect a 9.6 per cent return on their investment per year compared to 8.9 per cent for investors aged 36 and over.
"Singapore investors are overly optimistic about income returns," said Schroders on Wednesday.

  1. Wait!

    I thought its 8% "average" yield for stock markets?

    I want to verify Schroders' claim it's 3.8%!

    Quick! Those who "lelong" passive indexing, I'm waiting for you to fire back vigorously.

    Silent would mean acquiescence.

    Like that, might as well put money in CPF's Special Account?

  2. I'm a millennial........but I expect around 5% return per year (which I'll be very satisfied liao). Maybe I'm unintelligent or maybe my peers are too optimistic.....

    1. Hi Temperament. Thanks for the advice. I will heed it. Btw, do you have a blog? Newbies like myself need to learn from your experience. I've been following your postings on valuebuddies.
