As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, our Founder and CEO, Christopher, discusses in his Business Times article why you should not simply invest in the S&P 500 alone.

With competing views from sources like Business Insider claiming that the S&P 500 will hit 8,000 to 15,000 points by the end of the decade, does this trigger a 'fear of missing out' for you?

In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Amelia, from the Brand Experience Team, asks Chris why the S&P 500 should not be viewed as a simple and seemingly magical solution to a complicated problem. When it comes to enabling your non-negotiable life events such as retirement, it is more important to ensure the reliability and sufficiency of your investment returns.

While it is true that you could achieve a higher return by investing in the S&P 500 compared to a globally diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds, the crucial question is whether you can stomach the risks and ride through the extreme volatility that comes with a single-country index.
