Investment portfolio in 2023
2022-12-17
It is an unforgettable year for all the investors in 2022. During this year, it is no matter what you hold in whatever investment instruments in your portfolio. Unfortunately, you are no exception to be a loser in whatever you hold. In this tough year, most common instruments including currencies, property investment and common stock suffer fifteen per cent or more loss in average. New year is coming, and it is the right time to regulate the investment portfolio to attain the above average of the investment result.
In 2022, property news has attracted attention in town. Although the fall of the market is still substantial, but the tendency of adjustment seems weaker than before. In addition, the latest sales records of the  government subsidized housing units are satisfactory, it proves that there is a strong demand for self-use residential units. The average of transaction price of these units are about three million dollars. It means that the market value of these discounted units are about 4.5 to 5 million dollars. The latest transaction records of private residential units have revealed that these kinds of small units are welcomed by the public. A user may consider buying in if he or she finds a reduced-price unit which is twenty percent or more less than the original price in coming year.
If someone dislikes property investment, high interest rate of fixed deposit may be a good other option. Nowadays, this fixed interest rate has risen to 4.5 to 5%, and it is a sound investment for the risk-free investors. The aggressive investor may invest the foreign currencies and they can earn 8 to 10% yield return if they can buy in a lower position.
The stock investment is not easy to manage for the general investor. Hang Seng index has been rising more than thirty percent since early of November. If someone insists to enter the market now, the risk factor may be higher than a general investor can accept. This kind of investors may consider investing the blue chip stocks which can provide 7% or more yield return yearly. A good stock that can provide steady interest to shareholders is important. But things can change without any warning. For example, the retirees welcomed the Hong Kong and China Gas Company for its good issuing interest policy. Until March of this year, China Gas company suddenly cut to issue bonus shares to the shareholders. In consequence, the yield return of this stock dropped significantly. In this chaotic world, no one except God knows everything.
The investment environment is a challenge to investors in 2023. The development of first half year will give the investors a clearer path to the second half of this year. As smart investors, they may regulate their investment strategy whenever the environment has changed. In conclusion, the bear market will persist for a longer time in the coming year. So, any big investment should be cautious.

5. Commercial property still under pressure 2022-12-19 11:45:39 |

With China easing its COVID-19 rules and travel restrictions in December and the recent stock market rebound, retailers are anticipating the opening of the borders between Hong Kong and China that could lend some support to the declining commercial real estate market, a report by CBRE reveals. However, the analyst warns that interest rate hikes will still continue to weigh heavily on investment markets. This means the commercial real estate market is expected to receive a low volume of investments. In CBRE’s report, investors are offloading their assets to pile up capital. This is seen as investors trying to wait for better deals and other opportunities before re-entering the market. Meanwhile, some asset owners who are facing some financial difficulties have actively disposed of their commercial assets like the recent sale of Stan Group/Tang family selling of a 12,030 sq. ft. strata unit at Vigor Industrial Building, Tsing Yi for $74m. |
