My Investment Portfolio (February 2025)

STI ended Februrary at 3895 points, up around 1% for the month. STI managed to hit a new all-time high level this month even as markets were worried about tariffs and hawkish US Fed comments. In Singapore, Budget 2025, company earnings reports and MAS Equities Market Review Group proposed measures were closely watched. Due to many concerns, volatility had also increased this month.

I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - Delfi and Wee Hur.

For my top 30 holdings this month, investors were mostly reacting to company earnings reports. Main contributors include iFAST, Sembcorp Industries, Multi-Chem, SGX, Haw Par and F&N. Top detractors include LHT, Jardine C&C and Wing Tai. Hiap Hoe dropped out of the list while UOL returned. 

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Alliance HC, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Captii, Delfi, Digilife Tech, F&N, Far East Orchard, Frasers Property, Global Testing, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hotel Properties, Hotel Royal, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Innotek, Jardine Matheson, Kingsmen, Lion Asiapac, Low Keng Huat, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, OUE, OUE Healthcare, Plato Capital, Raffles Medical, SBS Transit, Shangri-La Asia, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Stamford Land, Straco, Sunright, Tat Seng, Tye Soon, UOL, Venture and Wing Tai. I have also reduced my stake in Aspen Group and closed my position in Matex International.

Next month will be another quiet one with not much corporate activities as investors digest those full-year results from companies with financial year ending 31 December 2024. I will continue to go through some of those result announcements that I have missed out in February. With volatility increasing this month, I will continue to be more defensive in my portfolio positioning going forward.

My Investment Portfolio (January 2025)

STI ended the first month of the year at 3855 points, up around 1.8% for the month aided by gains during the last trading day of the month as US Fed paused interest rate cuts. Markets were worried about US Fed’s interest rate trajectory earlier this month due to inflation data and employment numbers reported. Also, US President Donald Trump’s business policies had been closely watched. Towards the end of the month, the emergence of DeepSeek seems to affect confidence in some AI related stocks.

For my top 30 holdings this month, some changes were observed as investors returned to the market. Main contributors include LHT, Multi-Chem and Singapore Land Group while Amara Holdings and F&N were among the top detractors. Metro Holdings dropped out of the list while SingTel returned. Meanwhile, Great Eastern was granted a further extension of time to comply with listing rules and remain suspended. AV Jennings, my Top Holding (Aust$ Denominated shares) had received a higher completing bid from Ho Bee Land.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - A-Sonic, Asia Vets, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Captii, CDW, Chemical Industries, City Developments, Delfi, Digilife Tech, F&N, Far East Orchard, Goodland, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties, Hotel Royal, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Innotek, Jardine Matheson, Karin, Khong Guan, Koda, Lion Asiapac, Lum Chang, New Toyo, Nippecraft, OUE, PSC Corp, Raffles Medical, SBS Transit, Shangri-La Asia, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Straco, Straits Trading, Tan Chong International, Tuan Sing, UOL, Venture, Wing Tai, Yanlord, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Courage Investment.

Next month, most companies with financial year ending 31 December 2024 will be announcing their full-year results. As usual, I will go through some of those result announcements. I will also continue to deploy my cash holdings slowly back into the markets, buying mostly value plays in the small and mid cap space plus some selected blue chip stocks. With more volatility, uncertainty and headwinds expected ahead, stock selection becomes more crucial as one attempts to navigate the markets in the Year of the Wood Snake. Gong Xi Fa Cai to all my readers out there!

My Investment Portfolio (December 2024)

STI ended the year at 3787 points, up more 1% for the month and up around 17% for the year. The US Fed as expected cut rate in December but markets were surprised that they guided for lesser cuts next year. Investors sold down stocks in response to US Fed announcements but markets recovered some lost ground towards the end of the month. Volatility also increased this month.

For my top 30 holdings this month, not much changes had been observed in what had been a quiet month. Main contributors include LHT and Sembcorp Industries while PM Data continued to remain weak.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Alliance HC, AP Oil, Asia Enterprises, Baker Tech, Brook Crompton, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Chemical Industries, City Developments, Delfi, Digilife Tech, First Sponsor, Goodland, GuocoLand, Ho Bee Land, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Fok, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Kingsmen, Lion Asiapac, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, MTQ, OUE, Overseas Education, Pollux, Raffles Medical, SBS Transit, Secura, Shangri-La Asia, Singapore Land Group, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Straits Trading, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, UOL, Wing Tai and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Vibropower (warrants).

STI ended the year on a positive note despite another year of volatility. Again, I will be staying invested going into the new year, but will be holding onto some cash as markets seemed to have reached new highs. I will continue to work on my stock selection and portfolio management. As for physical AGMs/EGMs, I have reduced my attendance this year and will look forward to resume attending some of them next year. Hope to meet some of you out there again soon.

Wishing all my readers out there many more great returns in 2025. Happy New Year!

My Investment Portfolio (November 2024)

STI ended November at 3739 points, up around 5% as compared to last month. Lead by the banks, STI is now near its all-time high level but the rest of the market continue to underperform. Early in the month, investors were digesting the US election results and its impact on interest rate. But the post election rally fizzled out as the month progressed as concerns on trade tariffs emerged though the US market still did well for the month. 

For my top 30 holdings this month, PM Data and Metro were weak after reporting their 1H25 results. DBS and SGX did well as investors were positive that interest rate will remain higher for longer. Haw Par returned to the list on the back of the strength of UOB share price performance, while REITs continued to be out of the list due to higher interest rate concerns. Jardine Matheson was the top performer in the Top 5 Holdings (US$ Denominated shares). AV Jennings, my Top Holding (Aust$ Denominated shares) had received an indicative proposal to acquire the company via scheme of arrangement.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - ABR, Baker Tech, Banyan, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Captii, City Developments, CosmoSteel, Digilife Tech, EnGro, Far East Orchard, First Sponsor, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, Ho Bee Land, Hong Leong Asia, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Innotek, IPC Corp, Karin, Koda, Koh Brothers, KSH, Lion Asiapac, Low Keng Huat, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, MTQ, Nam Lee, New Toyo, OUE, OUE Healthcare, Overseas Education, Raffles Medical, SBS Transit, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Straits Trading, Tai Sin, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, UOL, Wing Tai, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

The year is coming to an end with only one month to go. With many investors going on holidays in December, I expect next month will be a quiet one as we close out the year. It is also a good time to take stock, do a review of the year and plan ahead for 2025. Wishing all my readers out there a restful holiday!

My Investment Portfolio (October 2024)

STI ended October at around 3558 points, down a bit as compared to last month. Early in the month, investors were concerned with escalating tensions in the Middle East, though some positive announcements on stimulus measures came out of China. Profit taking then set in after more details on China stimulus measures were absent. Volatility also increased towards the end of the month due to the looming US elections.

I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - GRP, Lion AsiaPac and Teho International.

For my top 30 holdings this month, there is not much major changes except for CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, which returned to the list after allocation of preferential offer units. CapitaLand Ascendas REIT dropped out after it performed in line with most other REITs as investors lowered down their rate cut expectations, resulting in selloff in the sector. Top 5 holdings for US$ denominated holdings did better, as Hongkong Land announced plans to unlock value.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Alliance HC, AsiaMedic, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Bund Center, Captii, CosmoSteel, Digilife Tech, First Sponsor, Frasers Property, Global Testing, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Innotek, Jardine Matheson, Koh Brothers, KSH, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, MindChamps, Nam Lee, OUE, OUE Healthcare, Overseas Education, SBS Transit, Shangri-La Asia, Shopper360, Sin Heng, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Straits Trading, Thakral, Tuan Sing, UOA, Wing Tai and YHI. I have also closed my position in Jadason.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Silverlake Axis.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - UOA.

Next month, the US election result will be in focus. With markets exhibiting higher volatility, I will continue to be more defensive in my portfolio positioning. Efforts will continue to be made to identify more value stocks to invest.

My Investment Portfolio (September 2024)

STI ended 3rd quarter of the year at around 3585 points, up around 4% as compared to last month. STI reached a 17 year high level this month as optimism came back into the markets on key export numbers and efforts to revive the local market. Also, investors cheered US Fed jumbo rate cut and China stimulus measures to revive the economy.

For my top 30 holdings this month, Isetan was out of the list after the stock had been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement. Metro Holdings returned to the list as investors accumulated China related stocks. Other main contributors include Hong Fok, Sembcorp Industries, Wing Tai, F&N, DBS and Bukit Sembawang Estates. Detractors include PM Data and Multi-Chem.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - ABR, AP Oil, BBR, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Chemical Industries, Chuan Hup, City Developments, Credit Bureau Asia, Delfi, EnGro, Far East Orchard, Hiap Hoe, Ho Bee Land, Hong Leong Finance, Hor Kew, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, Indofood Agri, IPC Corp, Jardine Matheson, Kencana Agri, Kingsmen, KSH, Lion AsiaPac, Lum Chang, Nam Lee, New Toyo, OUE Healthcare, PNE Industries, SBS Transit, Shangri-La Asia, Singapore Land Group, Singapore Shipping, Singapura Finance, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon and Yeo Hiap Seng. I have also reduced my stake in Beng Kuang (warrants), First Sponsor (warrants) and Jadason.

My stakes in Isetan and Best World had also been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement and selective capital reduction respectively.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue - CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - Global Investments and Jardine Matheson.

Next month, companies with financial year ending 30 June 2024 will be holding their AGMs. As markets had advanced quite a bit this month, I will continue to invest but at a more slower pace. As usual, I will be more conservative in terms of portfolio positioning and will also be holding more cash.

My Unit Trust Asset Allocation

Dear all,

After nearly one year, I guess it is time for another summary on my unit trust asset allocation. You can refer to my previous one at the link below:

https://ghchua.blogspot.com/2023/09/my-unit-trust-asset-allocation.html

For asset classes, I have done nothing much other than consistently adding onto the list of unit trusts that I had been holding for CPF Investments. I have again been defensive for the past one year or so, and therefore increased my allocation to short duration bond fund again. The other asset classes are obviously down correspondingly in terms of percentage of allocation, with my additional allocation to the short duration bond fund.

For geographic exposure, Global, Singapore and US funds were the out performers in the portfolio. India, Malaysia and Taiwan funds also did well.

Laggards continued to be funds with exposure to China. Though I don't specifically hold any China funds, Asia Pacific Excluding Japan, Emerging Markets and Asia excluding Japan regional funds do have decent exposure to that market, which dragged down their performance. Other laggards include funds invested in Indonesia and Thailand. 

Going forward, my strategy is to add onto existing funds, while continue to maintain a defensive positioning in terms of asset allocation. I will continue to allocate more to fixed income instead of equity, with emphasis on shorter duration to mitigate interest rate fluctuations.

Asset Class

Equity 81.2%
