Hi any suggestions on how to manage a portfolio for someone who is interested in US Tech stocks?

Firstly, i am only interested in US Market. And i strongly believe that in the next few years (at least until Covid-19 has become the norm) , US Tech will only continue to grow.

So my question is, how would you manage your portfolio?
Will you go 100% Tech stocks but different companies?
If not, What is the other potential industry to look at? And how you split the portfolio in different industry based on ratio?

This is a long term investment. Which i will keep and hold for at least 5-10 years

Hi, Anon, I do predominantly U.S & China tech/biotech investing, mostly via ETFs.

Yes, U.S. because of it's liberalism and innovation is (?was, ?will be) the top market. China not to miss ...

HOWEVER: it is not prudent to put everything into technology.

some insights, particularly on what not to do, here:

https://seedly.sg/questions/what-is-your-genera...

I feel for tech, these are the strong ones (historically):

QQQ, VGT, SOXX, SKYY, FBT, XBI, ARKG

China: CQQQ, KWEB, KURE, HK:2820

as to weighting (know well Your high risks):

U.S. 60-70%

China 25-30%

Scandinavia/Germany: 10-15%

Hey there, I think post-COVID we will be more mindful on the companies that we want to invest. Generally, I'll avoid those in the travel industry, oil and gas, construction, theme parks (looking at you, Disney), movie theatres...

1) Will you go 100% tech stocks but different companies?

I'd say yes, but for me, there has been a bit of slight exception. My current overseas stock portfolio is made up of 4 companies based in the US & HK stock exchanges:

  1. (HKEX) A game developer (It also has e-learning business and strangely, they also have black pig farms...It's like the CEO's side hobby or something)

  2. (US) A pure cloud-based cybersecurity tech company

  3. (HKEX) An e-Commerce platform with vast logistics capabilities (It also has finance and health business on the side...as well as chicken farms...I don't know why the Chinese like to go into farms LOL anyway look like a side hobby like #1)

  4. (US) An automobile maker that also does space transportation, tunnel construction etc. It also has a CEO that tweets the share price is too high at $420 and wants to take it private...then cause the share price to rocket and was fined for it 🀣 I think you may know the name of the co. now.

#4 is kind of going against my investment selection (of the lesser humans and Capex are involved, the better). But then, I'm sometimes too much of a romantic, so I invested a teeny weeny small amount for that dream.

2) If not, what is the other potential industry to look at? And how you split the portfolio in different industry based on ratio?

You can look at grocery stores (Costco), online entertainment (Netflix), funeral (I don't know of any companies, if have please share haha), home appliances (Haier), food delivery (Meituan Dianping), FinTech (Square, Tencent, Ant), video conferencing platforms (Zoom), etc.

You can also watch some of Cathie Wood's interviews and talks on YouTube to get some ideas on the types of industries that are good to invest in. She's the CEO of ARK Invest.

ARK: The five platforms of disruptive innovation

ARK Invest’s five platforms of disruptive innovation are:

  • DNA sequencing (It's a very hard to understand this industry if it's not within your circle of competence, so I'd suggest you just buy the ARKG ETF, if you're keen to put your money here. Let them do the research, b'cos I'd think they'd have hired folks who are knowledgeable in this field)

  • Energy storage

  • Robotics

  • Artificial intelligence

  • Blockchain

I don't split the portfolio based on industry. I split it based on how much conviction I have in the company. If I have a strong conviction then I'll invest a heavier percentage into it.

3) How do you manage your portfolio?

For Overseas Market

60% in 4 companies which I have the highest conviction, 20% in 2 companies which I'd like to get a foot in it first while still learning more about them (not yet still finding), & 20% cash for opportunities. Total: 6 companies for overseas markets, that I monitor them like a hawk~ I can't do all the work so I'm in a paid community that we share news on their market and company development.

Singapore Market

I also have Singapore stocks - 13 REITs/Trusts. It's about 25% of my portfolio and I will hold until they recover. Meanwhile, I take their dividends to invest in overseas market. I gradually plan to reduce exposure in Singapore market (keeping the strong ones), as time goes by.

Like Temasek Holdings, we need to go beyond Singapore shores, and we know they have been reducing their exposure in Singapore over the years. The reason I think they're still keeping some e.g. SIA is b'cos (my opinion ) they have national duty to do. If they really act out their investor instincts, I think they will not even consider companies like SIA in the first place... 😷

I think not many people may know that Temasek is also one of the top 15 investment firms in the world to invest in unicorns companies. I was quite surprised.

Sorry I got carried away. πŸ˜…

Anyway, hope you get the idea. Hope this gives you some insights into your own investment portfolio!​​​
