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!

Investor sentiment in S'pore at "all-time low"

SINGAPORE: The global financial unrest has caused investor sentiment to hit an all-time low in Singapore, according to a survey by insurance and investment products provider Friends Provident International.


The survey said the European debt crisis has negatively impacted investors across all markets.

In Singapore, the latest Friends Provident International Investor Attitudes index showed a four-point decline from the last survey in July 2011.

Many respondents said they do not expect the market condition to improve anytime soon.
As a result, investors now prefer to hold gold and cash.

In addition, equities and shares have become the least-favoured asset.

However, some market players hold a different view.

They pointed out that the appetite for shares has improved as reflected by the 12 per cent rise in the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) since the start of the year.

About 1,000 people who are mostly retail investors participated in the survey which was conducted from 9 to 20 January.

Friends Provident first began running the survey in the second quarter of 2010.

Friends Provident International principal officer and general manager Chris Gill said: "I think, looking forward, clearly the start of this year, we've seen equity markets around the world rallying and no different here in Asia and Singapore, particularly the market is up significantly in the first couple of months in 2012.

"But, looking forward, we believe clients should be investing in real assets to gain a real return in the long term."
