My Investment Portfolio (February 2017)

STI ended the month of the year at around 3100 points, building onto its gain from last month as Dow Jones continued to post new highs.

For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefings - Pacific Star (formerly known as LH Group), Fu Yu, China Flexible Packaging and AV Jennings.

For my top 30 holdings, most of the stocks in the list did well. The 3 finance companies moved up after MAS introduced a series of changes which might benefit their business as they can now do more stuff. Jardine C&C and CapitaLand also posted a decent set of results, with increased dividend being declared. Sarine Technologies reported a turnaround in their business. Tat Seng also surprised the market with a special dividend, while Amara make it to the list after announcing a special dividend as their results were boasted from gains for their EC project, CityLife@Tampines.The Hour Glass also reported a decent set of interim results which suggested that spending from the high end segment of the retail market might have shown early signs of recovery. Other stocks in the list which declared a special dividend when announcing full-year results include United Engineers, Bonvests, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties and Colex. Spindex, meanwhile, returned to the list after controlling shareholder announced that they offered to take the company private via Scheme of Arrangement.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AV Jennings, Best World, CEI, ComfortDelgro, EnGro, FSL Trust, GuocoLand, Haw Par, Hotung, IPC Corp, Kingsmen, Koh Brothers, Mandarin Oriental, MTQ, Shangri-La Asia, Singapura Finance, TIH, UOA and UIC. I have also closed my position in AA Group shares that were received via conversion of their unlisted warrants.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - CapitaLand Retail China Trust, First REIT, Frasers Commercial Trust and Keppel REIT.

Next month will be another quiet month as companies are done with their financial results reporting. I will go through some of those result announcements that I have missed out and also reflect on some of the results in order to make portfolio decisions with regards to those companies.

Best World run up so high still a buy?

Hi Arthur,

Glad that you have asked about Best World again which allows me to clarify my position. I have bought Best World years ago when they were only in ASEAN and at that time, they have faced problems expanding. Recently, they have made headways in Taiwan and also in China which explains why the market is excited about its growth potential.

Since then, I have been holding onto my shares and didn't make any major changes. Until last year in November, I reduced my position in the company by more than 60% as it had emerged in my top 30 holdings quite quickly, which makes me uncomfortable. I have some interesting ideas to switch my proceeds from Best World which I have since re-invested into them.

After that, I have added onto Best World via the unit share market as it is trading at a discount from the main board lot market but those are small additions which doesn't move the needle much. The main thing is that I have already de-risk my position in Best World and what I have now in my portfolio is very much lesser than what it was a few months back. Therefore, I am quite comfortable with my current exposure in the company for my portfolio.

Hope that the above clarifies.

Hi GH,

I have been following your blog for quite a while and really thank you for your sharing, it has been very helpful :)

May I know how do you make your investment decision? Is there any criteria to justify the purchase? (e.g. quality company, deep value discount). Do you have any target return?

Hi retnuoc,

Thanks for supporting my blog!

The criteria for each individual stock varies, but most were bought because of value. I value tangible assets more than earnings growth. Which means, a company might be of good quality but if it is trading at high valuation, I will probably not buy it. There are some I buy for growth but these are really small minority in my portfolio.

Which means, those stocks that I overweight are most possibly slow moving, since there is little/no short term catalyst to move them as they are overlooked by the market mostly because of poor earnings outlook. But they might be gems as they hold good tangible assets which are undervalued by the market.

I don't have any target return for my portfolio because I believe if one gets his process right, the returns will come automatically. Let returns come to you, don't chase them. :)

Dear Chua Sishu

Do you have Bonvest? Is current price attractive? What is the prospect for this company?

Thanks

Hi Sunny,

Yes, Bonvests is one of my top holdings in my portfolio. Its undervalued as they have quite a bit of assets. It also owns a stake in Colex, which is growing and securing good contracts with higher value. I suggest you take a look at their annual report to get more insights on the company.
