April 2018 Portfolio Performance Report for SG market +0.26% YTD +86.96% Overall

April was an excellent month for STI. It gained a total of 5.4% propelled by the surge in bank counters due to the expectation of rate hikes in the US with the 10-year Treasury yield hit 3% for the first time since 2014 as well as upbeat Singapore economy outlook for 2018. Trade war fear has subsided and the possibility of North Korea denuclearisation added to the upbeat mood of investors.  This month, my system's SG portfolio gained a time weighted return of +4.98%

Year-to-date time weighted return turned positive to +0.26%. Overall time weighted return since inception (from June 2016) increased to +86.96%.

Note that for most part of April, I was only about 40% invested. Even though STI has rallied substantially this month, it is mostly pushed up by the bank sector rally while many stocks in other sectors are having lacklustre performance. The system still remains cautious.
