Hi! Welcome back to another month-end net worth update.
A few things to note before we delve into the net worth update:
- I’m from Singapore. Therefore, I will be tracking my net worth in Singapore Dollars. In short, “S$”.
- However, for the benefit of readers who are more familiar with the currency of US Dollars, I’ve also included a simple conversion from S$ to US$ at certain parts of my net worth update.
- At the time of writing this post, the exchange rate of Singapore Dollars to US Dollars is S$1 to US$0.702. Conversely, US$1 is equal to S$1.42.
Let’s start off with an overview of my entire net worth.
As the market slid into bear territory in March, I wasn’t particularly worried. I don’t need the money anytime soon, and I plan to stay invested until I reach retirement.
That being said, as I did the math to calculate my net worth this month, it stung to know that not only have my gains from the past 5 years of investing (I started investing in 2015) been erased, I even lost a five-figure sum of my original capital.
This means that if I had not invested at all, I would have more money than I do now. Damn.
But that’s the price of admission, and I’m willing to grit my teeth to pay it. I just hope to see a great investment portfolio by the time I’m ready to retire.
In March, I deployed a lot of my cash as well as bonds to buy stock. I bought stock both in the Singapore market as well as in the U.S. market. This resulted in the damage not being as large as I expected it to be.
I’m grateful that I had cash and bonds to invest in the first place.
