Maybe you should post a bit more on how much you are putting aside per month (are you working?) for retirement, and your age (time horizon). Also, how much time you can put aside for looking into investments (are you working in the financial sector in the first place?).
What is your base capital right now?

Family commitment?

Job stability? Future prospects?

Emergency funds?

I once had someone who obvious was swimming naked actually said the following :s8:

let me tell u how to make money in this forum.

1. First only listen to ppl who are actually making money.
2. Market timing and asset class picking are the 2 most important skills if u want exceptionally returns (>30% P.A - X%)
3. Never lose your capital
4. Dont forget step 3.

Whoever ask u simi lan sai what your investment goals are b$. Your goal is to make as much as possible based on how skillful u are in 2, 3. and 4. There is not such thing as 3-5% a year when every asset classes can be sold down. Look at how much value was lost in bonds n treasuries, the so called safest asset class. Good luck to u if u bought ILP or whatever into "safe" bonds or bond funds yielding <3%. Probably take u 5-10 yrs to breakeven.

Just a bit of sharing of my current portfolio status.

Looking at it, I feel happy, scared and angry at the same time.

Happy because it finally broke past 10% returns, and also validated that index investing works :D

Scared because we might or might not be headed for a steep drop soon :eek:

Angry because a lot of the returns are also due to the steep drop in the Japanese Yen ever since Trump got elected. Also means that if limpeh go Vietnam now to find SYT dua neh neh Vietbu, need to spend more moolah to live like a king :mad:

My biggest fantasy is to get a SYT dua neh neh JP mei mei who is perpetually horny and can cook like a Chinese chef as a wife, live in a house the size and design of the typical suburban American home, whilst having a SYT dua neh neh Vietbu who is perpetually horny and is an excellent domestic helper :s13: :s13: :s13: :s13: :s13:

Don't worry too much about the market if you are living in Japan. Tokyo Olympics should provide a strong tailwind for the next few years.

Personally, if I am going to live in Japan permanently, I would be more concerned about preparing my family to survive a major quake/tsunami. Tiagong the damaged nuclear reactors from the 2011 quake are still leaking, is it true? Or the local media is trying to be hush hush about it?
