2018 could be the end of the bull run for bond investors who are leveraging. The borrowing cost for USD was as low as 0.9% & SGD 1.12% in 2010. Coming 2018, the borrowing cost should be >2.5% for both USD & SGD. Simply too risky to leverage. Need to find a alternative income .
If you will to invest into unit trust since 2016. Most of the unit trust return should be >20%.
But for those invested in equity, the return varies from low of 1% to high of >30%. Investors invested into yesteryear stocks like SPH , Telco, Singpost etc. The return can be negative. Bank stocks has a fantastic return of >30%. Reit >15%.
