We need to know the percentage breakdowns at least in order to fairly comment and give our thoughts about it.

Anyways, rather than VOO, you might wanna consider its Ireland-domiciled counterpart: VUSD, for a higher dividend payout since you are taxed 15% less for the dividend payouts as a foreigner.

If you are interested, you can check out my investment portoflio at my blog: https://www.jeffreyleezq.com/my-investment-port..., or my latest blog post update on my portfolio and dividend status here at seedly opinions: https://seedly.sg/opinions/my-portfolio-dividen... (or directly at my blog).

Cheers and all the best in your investment journey! :)

Diversifying evenly is a concept I've not heard of before. I think you should weight your portfolio rather than spread it evenly. What you weight your portfolio according to may vary but a common one I hear of is by market cap.

It's like eating Korean BBQ right - you want to eat majority BBQ chicken, some rice, and a little bit of kimchi. You can't be eating them in equal amounts otherwise that's gonna be a lot of kimchi to eat. (Some people like it la, including me, but generally that's not how people eat a meal.)

Also consider that diversification is not simply by geography (as you have partially done, and I say partially because you only expose yourself to US, HK and SG). You can diversify across sectors, asset class and developed/developing markets.​​​
