Any recent feedback on Downside Protected?
How much is the fee?
It’s stable. Doesn’t rise or fall much.

U need to plan.
1) Lock in the portfolio when downside risk is favourable; current drawdown is 1.5% which is quite good. Sometimes drawdown can be as high as 2%+


2) When u gain a profit of about 2%, perform a fund switch to the latest tranche. Basically, your max loss should be greater than your capital outlay. Your portfolio is basically capital guaranteed

Curious, how much you made from it? If the returns are more like a bond, why not just buy a bond then?

I transferred $1000sgd (USD 765.62) on 12 September 2024. When my portfolio was in profit (USD775.59), I transferred to a new downside protection portfolio which is now nearly capital guaranteed

Sounds like fulfilling paper profits to reinvest and reset. Lol works until it doesn't. I rather just buy simpler products with lower known and more importantly, unknown/implicit costs.

This portfolio is a temporary war chest to park monies, wait for market crash (-10%, -20%) , buy the lows. Should the market not crash, returns probably better than money market funds
