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!

Invest in bonds for retail investors?

Read? SGX launches initiatives to enhance listing, trading of fixed income products

Weekly SGS 15-Year Bond Yield from 2005 - 2010 : 2.77% - 3.57% (range is only 0.8%) and Corporate bonds A rated can be 2% higher than SGS.

Fixed Income Strategy

By spreading out the market risk using a portfolio of SGS, Corporate bonds A rated and Dividend Yielding stocks (at least 8%), it is possible to generate at least 4% returns.

    SGX has also appointed Ms Tng Kwee Lian, formerly from UOB Asset Management, as Senior Vice President and Head of Fixed Income to drive the promotion of bond trading to high net worth and individual investors.

    I think SGX will change the current $100K per lot to $XXK per lot. Let us wait and see
