Hi Uncle8888,
ReplyDeleteCash shield, yield shield, bond shield.
I think very hard for negative sequence of returns risk to penetrate your triple shields! LOL!
Based on your 3 Taps pie chart, roughly 14% of your total portfolio in risk assets (stocks).
Using SG large caps as proxy for your stocks positions, the maximum drawdowns over past 22 years if 14% Singapore stocks and 86% cash:-
1) -8.6% (GFC)
2) -7.5% (AFC)
3) -4.5% (2015 China / Oil Crisis)
4) -3.1% (Dotcom / SARS, but a long frustrating 3 years of +/- 3% up & down sideways sandpaper grinding)
Do note that all above drawdowns recovered ... but of course take time & patience (which depending on personal circumstances & goals, may or may not have).
Total gains of 85.3% or CAGR of 2.76% over 22 years LOL.
Using Monte Carlo statistical projections for the above 14:86 asset allocation:-
Worst case drawdown (Great Depression style) -- -11.5% (i.e. stocks position almost wiped out!)
Median "big bear" drawdown -- -8.1%
Super kiasi. LoL
