Is my Syfe portfolio allocation optimised for my risk appetite?

Profile: No immediate financial needs.
Risk appetite: Very aggressive. (Based on multiple risk assessments)
Timeline: Very long.
Savings and Emergency funds: Very healthy.
Not holding any bonds - unless you count my savings plans as a sort of bonds.

I currently DCA 50-50 into 100% Equities and 100% REITs with Syfe. Should I consider tweaking the proportions to optimise the performance of my portfolio? Am I not taking on enough risk?

Appreciate your thoughts!

I read from somewhere saying the 110 - current age rule and that answer should be your percentage of equities. Given that you are planning to hold it for a long time, consider doing 90/10 for your allocation. Time has shown E will always outperform B in the long term. For me, unless I have a substantial amount to invest into 100% reits syfe, I would rather invest all into the 100% equities since the chances of capital growth is higher.When your risk appetite falls, just switch to dividend paying ones like banks/reits.
