US stocks saw a notable pullback, with the Nasdaq Composite down -15.4% year-to-date (YTD). In particular, a number of widely-held stocks experienced steep declines. For instance, Tesla fell -36.3% and Nvidia dropped -24.5% YTD (in USD, as of 16 April 2025).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/core\/equity100\"><strong>Core Equity100<\/strong><\/a> portfolio, which is fully invested in equities, was not immune to this market volatility. It declined -3.6% in Q1 and a further -6.3% in the first half of April. That said,<strong> the drawdown was less than that of the S&amp;P 500 and Magnificent 7. <\/strong>This relative outperformance reflects the benefits of diversification in-built in the Core portfolios \u2014<strong>across both geographies and investment factors<\/strong>\u2014compared to portfolios heavily concentrated in US or tech stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meanwhile, our more diversified portfolios\u2014such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/core\/core-balanced\"><strong>Core Balanced<\/strong><\/a><strong> and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/core\/core-defensive\"><strong>Core Defensive<\/strong><\/a>\u2014<strong>demonstrated greater resilience<\/strong>. In particular, strategic allocation to the <strong>SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) <\/strong>contributed positively to the returns and provided an effective hedge amid rising geopolitical tensions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, our balanced approach helped our portfolios stay resilient, especially when compared to more concentrated or higher-risk strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfp5jT2VqgoQw9fasW9F2ui-7HV19evyHZXu8HBf-2LU2vw3shDsjmv_-tH0qjl97M9zf34CofcdsGsIS96OAffC3jEsQjyAU085H8zlnJRY_-tW0C6tZ9329OGh8B3gxw-wkgg?key=uikhfheze2QWAAgWyIBECuRw\" alt=\"syfe core review\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead: Stay the Course&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets may remain volatile in the near term, especially with ongoing headlines around Trump\u2019s trade policies. <strong>But time and again, markets have proven their ability to recover and move higher over the long term.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to ride out the volatility is through <strong>Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) or Enhanced DCA (EDCA) into our Core portfolios.<\/strong> DCA involves committing a fixed amount at regular intervals. This naturally leads to buying more when prices are low and less when they are high. EDCA takes a step further by adjusting the investment amount based on market conditions.

As of 15 April 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead: Well positioned to weather the tariff storm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Income+ portfolios are well-positioned to weather the tariff storm. They have a <strong>higher allocation to quality fixed income<\/strong>, with an average credit rating of A+ for Income+ Preserve and A- for Income+ Enhance. This positioning helps them better withstand volatility, especially in the event of an economic recession. Some underlying funds in the portfolios are also <strong>increasing allocation to inflation-linked assets<\/strong>, such as US TIPS, to hedge against potential upside surprises in inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another key advantage for Income+ Portfolios is the flexibility<\/strong>. Income+ Portfolios have the ability to re-optimise based on the forward guidance from PIMCO, and the underlying funds are actively managed. This allows for swift re-positioning to take advantage of market volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"REIT+\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/income-plus\"><strong>REIT+ Portfolios<\/strong><\/a><strong>: Yields Remain Compelling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcKBgFdwE1qQt7S9VIq6elF6mJ1WTJaCfru3nim-SGW5SlAb5MS60MSQ-P28IOtQ6Pmh64XcjiTSepWolSql1_eS3VtzVpfZFh-2Cjzp2ZYIt1A5ZNhmBiuSmoW0jTIZG7L0TPtFQ?key=uikhfheze2QWAAgWyIBECuRw\" alt=\"syfe reit+ review\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance Spotlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Syfe REIT+ (100% S-REITs) had a solid Q1 2025<\/strong>, and delivered a <strong>+3.1%<\/strong> return, outperforming its benchmark and major S-REITs ETFs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, the ongoing uncertainty caused by tariff-induced trade tensions has led to weaker investor sentiment, which extended to S-REITs. The REIT+ (100% REITs) portfolio had fallen by -5.3% in April (as of 15 April 2025), reversing the positive performance in Q1. Despite this pullback, the REIT+ (100% REITs) portfolio has <strong>still managed to outperform the benchmark<\/strong> (iEdge S-REIT Leaders Index) YTD and fared better than most equity indices.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking Ahead: Offering a defensive edge in uncertain times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For investors concerned about a global slowdown, S-REITs may help offer some shelter.

Historically, periods of monetary easing have benefited a range of asset classes\u2014from bonds to REITs and equities. Beyond your short-term needs, reallocating a portion of your cash into longer-term investment opportunities may help you capture higher returns in a falling rate environment. <strong>Investors can also reallocate their investments in tranches to better manage the market fluctuations.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Q2-2025\">Our Thoughts For Q2 2025&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump\u2019s&nbsp; \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariff announcement has set the stage for potential <strong>heightened market uncertainty in the months ahead<\/strong>. While a 90-day pause was introduced shortly after, China remains the main tariff target, and the long-term economic implications are far from clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The outcome from here could vary significantly,<\/strong> depending on how trade negotiations evolve and how policymakers respond. In a <strong>more optimistic scenario<\/strong>, some tariffs could be rolled back, and the Fed could continue easing cautiously. Later in the year, potential deregulation and tax cuts could help reignite market sentiment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <strong>more challenging scenario<\/strong>, tariffs remain in place for longer. This could lead to stagflation\u2014i.e., economic growth slows while inflation rises. The Fed may be forced to pause rate cuts or even raise rates, despite the economic cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In both cases, we believe staying invested in a well-diversified portfolio is the most effective way to weather uncertainty. <\/strong>In our latest <strong>Ask-Me-Anything session,<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/sws06lbv4Ck\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/live\/sws06lbv4Ck\"> Global Market Shake-Up: What Trump&#8217;s Tariffs Mean for You<\/a><\/strong>, we shared our views on key questions such as whether stagflation is a major concern and if now is a good time to buy the dip.
