Video Overview
At the start of the year, the investor placed NT$11 million in a 433 allocation. Over the next ten months, the portfolio moved from an unrealized loss of about 20% to a gain of nearly 20% and later reached roughly NT$13 million. He attributes staying invested through the swings to following a trusted system. A new problem appears when another NT$2 million becomes available while the market is at a record high: should it be invested immediately or held until the year-end rebalance? The speaker says to deploy new money according to the existing allocation because future highs and lows cannot be known in advance. The video also separates two triggers: available cash prompts a new contribution, while the calendar prompts rebalancing. Immediate investment is the speaker's case-specific view and does not guarantee a favorable result.
Key Takeaways
- The NT$11 million portfolio moved from an unrealized loss of about 20% to a gain near 20%, while the investor kept the system unchanged.
- After the portfolio reached about NT$13 million, a new NT$2 million contribution created fresh anxiety about market timing.
- The speaker advocates allocating new cash when it arrives, but that method does not ensure gains when markets are high.
- New contributions and annual rebalancing have different triggers and are treated as separate portfolio tasks.
