10% allocation on Grab acts as another attempt to diversify the portfolio by exposing it to foreign markets. Other than that, Grab's future prospects are promising, with it being a major innovative e-hailing service provider in SEA regions, and the recent attempt of developing a superapp with financial inclusion, and digital banking Gxbank may allow grab to grow exponentially when the projects are successfully implemented and used by consumers.
自己念 : don't leave me, bring me fly
mjbond : most of them are stable stocks. however, how about reits ? I think can allocate some for these segment as well. financially free is achievable for those who can save more than they spend
Hin093 OP mjbond : As I'm still pretty new, I tend to get scared when things are in the red, that's why the portfolio consists of many stable stocks with lower fluctuations.
I do intend to set for a higher risk portfolio after I've gained some experience, better understanding, and done more research on the market.
As for REITs, from what I've seen, at least for the Malaysian market, they're traded at low volumes, which I'm concerned about their liquidity (even though I'm taking a longer term investment approach), research are yet to be done on the REITs market too. It is a concern to make that they might be easily manipulated because of the low trading volumes. But nonetheless, it is an interesting topic you brought up, and I'll be sure to look into it.
