How I manage my portfolio while I am on vacation - Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo

True freedom comes from the ability to make money no matter where you are.

At the end of the day, if you can only make high income from one location but you can't travel and spend it, what's the point?

That's what propelled me to study financial independence and retire early movement (and propelled me to develop all these investing strategies)

So - WE ARE GOING ON VACATION!!

My wife isn't too excited as we are bringing two kids to visit my parents in Hong Kong.

It is going to be a lot of work.

But - we will have fun nevertheless - giving her plenty of time to shop.

Our trip goes from Hong Kong to Osaka to Toyko in 3 weeks.

I have mixed in good food (grill, seafood, fish market, beef) to playgrounds (kid play are) to rest days (mainly for myself to take a breather).

With a jammed pack holiday season, here are some tips to manage my portfolio while travelling:

1. Make it passive - I've allocated my portfolio to the smart index fund strategy and build up some cash reserve as the market is approaching a peak.

2. One trade a week - I focus on making one trade a week with monthly passive income and use a longer expiry date (60 days instead of 30 days) which requires even less effort on my end

3. Estimate expected gain - This is to forecast my expected gain on the portfolio and know when it is enough. With my strategy, I should be able to get around 5-10% for December as it is usually a good month. Knowing I should bring in around $20K to $30K from the portfolio gives me peace of mind.

4. Have fun - Keep the big picture in mind. There are some volatile events including inflation results and interest rate decisions. If you hold enough cash, you should generally do fine for December.

Ultimately, I aim to travel, manage the portfolio, get 20-30% return - at the same time.

Cheers,

Eric
