My Investment Portfolio (June 2015)

STI ended the month at around 3317 points.The Greek debt crisis fears plus China market movements had continued to worry investors as market volatility increases. It had been a difficult month for long term investors as STI swing from positive to negative and back to positive again everyday.

For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefings - Blue Sky Power, Communication Design International, Frasers Commercial Trust, Ezra, Transit-Mixed Concrete, Cheung Woh, Chemical Industries and Ascendas India Trust.

For my top 30 holdings, the main movers include The Hour Glass and GK Goh. The Hour Glass is mainly because of their decent final year results and also higher dividend declared this year. For GK Goh, it is because the scrip dividend had been credited this month.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Broadway, CapitaLand, Far East Orchard, GLP, Keppel T&T, Parkson Retail, Samudera Shipping, Teck Wah, UOL and Yeo Hiap Seng. I have also reduced my stake in AusNet Services.

I have also participated in the following rights issue - Keppel Infrastructure Trust.

I have participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - AusNet Services, Hotel Grand Central, Maxi-Cash (via dividend in specie) and United Overseas Australia.

Next month, there will be AGMs held for companies with financial year ending March 2015. I will be attending some of these AGMs to get some updates from the companies in my holdings. I will also reserve some cash holdings for some upcoming rights issues.

Is Hour Glass good for long term investment?

1:54 PM

Hi Anna,

I think so. Despite challenges like Swiss Franc de-peg and reduce in spending from Mainland China consumers, the company has done well to increase its revenue and profits while sustaining its profit margin at a reasonable level. They have invested well in their retail store network, managed their inventories and brands pretty well despite these challenges.

I guess much depends on the people behind the Hour Glass brand and I am comfortable to continue holding the stock for long term due to its good track record.

Hi GH, the run up of the hour glass is quite steady, what's your take for the reason behind this. At what price do you reckon that it passes fair valuation? Many thanks.

Hi trademarksg,

I don't think I wish to comment on price movements but rather focused on the fundamentals of the business. As a business, Hour Glass had been able to grow their profit despite headwinds in the high-end retail sector. In fact, they have grown quite well in Thailand although they suffered some drop in revenue in Hong Kong last FY. The other markets are quite flat and therefore good management is needed to contain costs and also manage brands and inventories well.

I think fair valuation will depend on your investment horizon. I expect some headwinds this year and hopefully, 2016 will be better for the whole sector. I do expect some growth in their business beyond 2016 with their slow but steady expansion plan in place. It is trading at around 10x PE currently, I don't think it is an expensive valuation for a stock with a good track record.

I am happy to keep my stake in the company.

Hi GH, do you think I should take profit if I had those share at 40 cents?

Hi Anna,

I don't think you should base your investment decision on your purchase price because that is already history. If the prospects of the company is good, I will continue to hold onto my shares, regardless of what price I bought the stock.

Hi GH, what do you think of Kepcorp - price drop or is dropping as I type... to 7.95. Good price to buy for long term?

Hi Anna,

What I can say is that Keppel Corp is a good stock to keep for long term. Short term wise, it is affected by the downturn in the oil and gas sector which affects a lot of companies. Having said that, they should be able to maintain their dividend this year as they have disposed KMC to Keppel Infrastructure Trust.

As to when the share price of Keppel Corp can recover, it is still too early to tell. The key is to buy small bits at each correction and don't commit all your funds in one go.

Hi ghchua

Just curious, with 30+ stocks holdings, how do you keep track? Are you using Excel or special software / website?

Thanks

Hi koepk,

I hold more than 30 stocks in my portfolio. What I have disclosed in my blog here is my top 30 holdings. I hold much more stocks than 30.

I don't use any special tools to keep track of my holdings. I use normal Excel and CDP online. No complicated stuff and calculations. I prefer to keep things simple.
