Hello Mooers!
I would like to share some financial assets that are on my watchlist and/or in my portfolio and, at the same time, would like to hear from your comments and opinions.
With many mentioning that a rate cut may happen, probably within the next 12 months, my plan would be to invest in the following:
High-yield bonds
Crypto
REITs
Small-cap stocks
High-yield bonds
Crypto
REITs
Small-cap stocks
Let me go through each of them, and if you like this article, please give it a thumbs up. Thank you!

High-Yield Bonds
The reason for investing in high-yield bonds is that they often give investors a much higher yield than regular bonds. With rate cuts, high-yield bonds become more attractive than regular bonds.
Mooers may invest in individual high-yield bonds, while those who have limited capital may invest in high-yield bond funds such as the following:
Asia High-Yield bond funds
$PIMCO GIS Asia High Yield Bond Fund (IE00BGSXQR19.MF)$
$PIMCO GIS Asia High Yield Bond Fund MDis (IE00BGSXQS26.MF)$
Both return more than 7% in the 6-month period.
$PIMCO GIS Asia High Yield Bond Fund (IE00BGSXQR19.MF)$
$PIMCO GIS Asia High Yield Bond Fund MDis (IE00BGSXQS26.MF)$
Both return more than 7% in the 6-month period.
U.S. High-Yield bond funds
$Fidelity Funds-US High Yield Fund (LU0605520377.MF)$
$Fidelity Funds-US High Yield Fund MDis (LU0532245122.MF)$
Both return more than 4% in the 6-month period.
Take note that some of these funds may distribute monthly dividends to their investors.
Crypto
The reason for investing in crypto is that it gives Mooers much higher returns when compared to regular bonds and other financial assets.

At the time of writing, the YTD performance for $Binance Coin (BNB.CC)$ is more than 70% , $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ more than 40% , $Solana (SOL.CC)$ more than 38%, and both $Dogecoin (DOGE.CC)$ and $Ethereum (ETH.CC)$ more than 13%.
REITs
The reason for investing in REITs is that the rate cuts would lower their cost of capital, as REITs are often leveraged to acquire properties and fund developments.

With rate cuts, it will reduce borrowing costs, boost profitability for REITs, and drive their stock price higher.
Mooers may invest into individual REITs, such as the following:
Capitaland REITs: $CapLand IntCom T (C38U.SG)$ , $CapLand Ascendas REIT (A17U.SG)$ , $CapLand Ascott Trust (HMN.SG)$ , $CapLand China T (AU8U.SG)$ , $CapLand India T (CY6U.SG)$

Mapletree REITs: $Mapletree PanAsia Com Tr (N2IU.SG)$ , $Mapletree Ind Tr (ME8U.SG)$ , $Mapletree Log Tr (M44U.SG)$
Investors with limited capital may invest in REIT ETFs such as $LION-PHILLIP S-REIT (CLR.SG)$ , $CSOP S-REITs INDEX ETF (SRT.SG)$ , $NikkoAM-STC Asia REIT (CFA.SG)$ , $NikkoAM-STC A_REIT US$ (COI.SG)$ , $PHIL AP DIV REIT S$D (BYJ.SG)$ , $PHIL AP DIV REIT US$ (BYI.SG)$ for Singapore-listed REITs and $Schwab Strategic Tr Us Reit Etf (SCHH.US)$ , $iShares US Real Estate ETF (IYR.US)$ , $iShares FTSE NAREIT Real Estate 50 Index Fund (USRT.US)$ , $iShares Cohen & Steers REIT ETF (ICF.US)$ for U.S.-listed REITs.
Small-cap stocks
Similar to REITs, small-cap stocks are likely to benefit from rate cuts as smaller companies generally have higher levels of debt than big companies such as the Magnificent Seven ( $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ , $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ , $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ , $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ , $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ , $Apple (AAPL.US)$ and $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ ).

Mooers may invest into individual small-cap stocks and ETFs such as $iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM.US)$ and $Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF (VBR.US)$ .
Mooers who prefer mutual funds may invest in small-cap funds such as the following:
$PineBridge Asia ex Japan Small Cap Equity Fund (IE00B12V2V27.MF)$
$PineBridge Asia ex Japan Small Cap Equity Fund (IE00BYTNYN87.MF)$
$BGF Systematic Sustainable Global SmallCap Fund (LU0054578231.MF)$
