May 2015 - Unit Trust Portfolio Update

With some funds doing well and others experienced pull back, I did a number of transactions for minor re-balancing. Looking at the overall portfolio, I felt my equity holdings were too low and I intended to increase the allocation gradually over time.

Weighted return as of May 2015 was 8.78% and it had been trending down compared to Jan 2015.
I predicted the weighted return would continue to trend down before stabilizing, as I expected stock market to have further pull back. Total return was 3.58% as of May 2015.

Below were the summary of my transactions in May:
1. Bought
United Emerging Markets Bond Fund $1,000.00

Schroder ISF Gb Div Max A DIS SGD $2,000.00

First State Dividend Advantage $2,000.00
