What do you think about this Investment Portfolio Allocation? Would also like more info on AIA Pro Achiever?

Hello Everyone,

I have recently invested around 20K lump sum into a Syfe 100% REITS portfolio, and have decided to allocate a monthly (arnd $500-800 each) to the equity 100 (Syfe) and Stashaway (Risk index 36% general investing) portfolio. I am depending a substantial amount on Robos due to limited time & knowledge in investing.
I was also advised to take on an ILP (AIA Pro Achiever unit trust) from a trusted friend and advisor. Would like to drop in to hear your opinions on this portfolio

#1 too much REIT share, clearly overweighted. REITs have their own risks.

#2 Equity100 performance (annual 15.5% over 10 years) seems nice, but it is a smart beta approach, where there is no evidence that smart beta works longterm, essentially it is active investing into different ETFs. With current 0.00 USD trading fees with TD Ameritrade, You could design your own Buy & Hold portfolio with a few ETFs (QQQ, VT, VOO, MCHI). Very probably a large allocation to ETF QQQ with its 20% annual performance over 10 years was responsible for Equity100's success.

#3 ILP (AIA Pro Achiever unit trust): combining investing with insurance products is always a bad idea, complex, intransparent, underperforming mix-products, with also insurance company default risk or secondary yield cuts added. caveat emptor.
