Anyone Can Enjoy Smart Investing – Starting From One Dollar

My SqSave Portfolio
As Founder, I was the first SqSave client. My SqSave portfolio was funded with SGD 15,000 on 1 June 2019. There was then – no knowing what lay ahead. And as we all know, Covid became global news in Jan 2020.
As you may have read in my blog. My SqSave portfolio passed the Covid crash test.
In Nov 2019 when I was sharing how SqSave works, some seasoned investors were surprised to see a very high allocation (over 10%) to Gold within my SqSave portfolio. One cynical investor remarked that there was something wrong. Indeed, I must concede that as a human investment manager for years, I had never allocated so much to Gold. Yet I trusted my SqSave portfolio, and as you already may know, Gold went on in 2020 to hit record highs.
As of 31 Aug 2020, my original capital of SGD 15,000 has reached SGD 17,656 for a gain of 17.7 per cent over 15 months! That’s roughly 14.2 per cent annualised!
And if you check out my last blog just a fortnight ago – when my portfolio was SGD 17,163 (on 18 Aug 2020), it means my SqSave portfolio has risen another 2.9 per cent in two weeks!
A One Dollar Global Portfolio? Yes!
I designed SqSave with the power of AI and using global diversification to help anyone invest, from anywhere and at any time.
I wish to show you ONE DOLLAR global portfolios which I created in May 2020 at the extreme ends of our risk ratings:
- Conservative
- Very Aggressive
As of 31 Aug 2020, my original capital of SGD 1 (ONE) returned 3 per cent (in 4 months) for an annualized gain of 9 per cent!
And if you check out the portfolio allocation, it is well diversified!

Now, let’s check out the ONE dollar VERY AGGRESSIVE portfolio I created in May 2020.
As of 31 Aug 2020, the return is 7 per cent (in 4 months) or 21 per cent annualised!

Now, I do not want to do short term comparisons. I would rather show you the truth that investments are inherently volatile. But as long as you choose the suitable risk rating and stick to a clear investment time horizon of at least one year, you should be able to tolerate the volatility – and carry on your daily activities without peering at your investment value every day. Save that for your trading account or trying your luck at gambling products.
