TOPIX
You may ask why buy non-commodities funds when price of oil and gold is going up. According to conventional/traditional thinking, it is logical to avoid non-commodities funds now. So why buy Japan fund now? First, commodities funds are overbought now. Second, I do not tell the markets how to behave. Instead I take hints from markets. First State Global Resources fund was bought for Sample Aggressive Portfolio on 17/4/06 before price of oil and gold breaks out from US$70 and US$600 respectively. Third, having one commodities fund and one non-commodities fund is kind of market neutral strategy. Having one type of funds give the impression that I know where the markets are heading which is "foolish".

Sample aggressive portfolio
- S$50k is allocated to this sample portfolio. S$50k is chosen because the amount is not too small or too huge.
- Investment objective : absolute return
- General investment style is a combination of technical analysis and fundamental/macro analysis. See Globevesting for details.
- Since this is an imaginary portfolio, fees are decided arbitrarely : 2% and 1% for buying equity funds and non-equity funds respectively (no exit fees), S$30 for each stock transaction(buy or sell, regardless of transaction value).
- For portfolio tracking, closing price/NAV is used.
