My SRS Endowus Game Plan


Back in 2021, I opened my SRS account to lock-in my withdrawal age at 62 and as another avenue to reduce my income tax. Blogged about it below:

2022 SRS Game Plan via Endowus

Now that it's 2022, I needed to start my SRS purchase again. This time, I will be pumping in the max of $15,300 cash to squeeze the max income tax relief.

I had initially thought to delay this pump till later this year, as I wanted my cash to generate higher returns first, and then channel it to SRS.

However, I decided to be more robotic about my SRS investment and DCA in. This means that I will

Buy SRS at 5 different tranches, at $3060 each

For the past weeks, the stock and crypto market has been dipping while awaiting the actual plan from the US Fed. Just last night, US Fed has released their latest plan; somewhat aligned with their earlier plans and public's expectations. While there's no surprise rate hike, Fed announced that there will be further discussion and potential interest rates hike in March, seemingly kicking the can down the road.

Based on the news, it is unlikely for us to see great returns like in 2020/2021 stock/crypto market.

2022 may be an uneventful year for traders due to sideway market.

As a beginner investor, I don't think I should time the market too much. I can't predict what's to come hence, I have decided to just enter my SRS trades 5 times across this year. 

I have just entered my first tranche now and will update when my next 4 trades are.

CPF OA investment

Separately, I've also started dipping into my CPF OA via Endowus to buy into Lion Global Infinity US 500 Stock Index Fund. Just low 4 digit figures.

The recent drop in SPY500 on Nasdaq signals a good timing to enter, so I bought a bit, in hopes to beat OA 2.5% interest. I currently do not own any SPY500 stock in my Tiger account so I see this as a good way to diversify. For those who do not have a Tiger account, pls refer to the current welcome promotion here and sign up via my referral link if you don't have any from your friends :)

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked 🎉

As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth ðŸŽ‰ This is all thanks to the increased in value of my crypto holdings as well as my US stocks. My HK/CN stocks are still in bad shape. On stocks front, truthfully, my overall investments is still in the red. I had made mistakes in stock picking and has not taken the opportunity to cut losses. I had the view to hold and pray those stocks in deep red would go up - after all, I told myself I don't need the money right now. On crypto, given that BTC has bounced back, I'm sitting on decent profits. I've been cashing out bit by bit. The last I spoke in Mar , I cashed out a rather sizeable amount of BTC at 50% profit. On hindsight, if I had waited till now, I could have cash out 3000 SGD more. Anyway, this time round in Nov, I cashed out 2 times, at a 70%-80% profit. Not bad considering the rest of my investments. As long as there are no major global events impacting the markets negatively, I believe I woul...

🤞On track to hitting $950k networth by end 2024🤞

Another blink, another year ending soon. How have you guys been? I wonder who else is still monitoring my blog despite my lack of updates. Again, so much has happened, but not much have changed. I travelled well, continued with a 3rd round of IVF egg retrieval (result was extremely poor), and went through uncertainty at work due to restructuring but was thankfully able to keep my job. I still haven't fulfil my dream of being a mother. Though honestly, it now feels more like a checkbox to be unchecked than the actual fulfilment of wanting to nurture and grow a child. I think the weariness is getting too much. I will embark on my final transfer within these few months. This would be my 7th transfer. If it fails, I'm likely going to stop further treatments. I have already done the best at my "peak".  I am telling myself that my life is still amazing despite these hiccups. Anyway, onto my financial goals. Back on 31 Dec 2024, I posted my goal to achieve $950k networth by ...

Cashing partial BTC out at 50%+ profit

My first foray into crypto was during the hype. Back in Feb 2021 During Feb 2021 to Jun 2022, I added in bit by bit - DCA as what they say. BTC, ETH, MATIC, SOL and even the horror LUNA. Thereafter, as crypto crashed, I stopped, praying one day it will rise back. And today, as I found that BTC is now at ATH, I decided to cash out 1/4 of my BTC for some profits. It's still a far cry from the amount I've lost, but I'm glad I could recoup some losses. Just to detail for my future reference, I transferred my BTC from ledger to coinbase. And sold my BTC on coinbase to SGD, incurring an atrocious fee of $130 and GST of $12. Gone are the days of cheap transaction fees.  Please let me know if there are wiser/cost effective options. In total, what I took back was a profit of 50%.  May BTC rise up more so I can cash out at 100% profit next. -dated 9 Mar 2024-
