My Investment Portfolio (October 2018)

In what had been one of the worst month in the global markets in recent times, the STI dipped below 3000 points briefly during the month before closing strongly at 3018 points. But still, the closing level is much lower than last month. Technology related stocks were among the biggest losers, especially those with exposure to China manufacturing plants. The usual concerns of interest rate, trade tensions and the falling US markets contributed to our market weakness.

For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefing - Chuan Hup, CapitaLand Mall Trust, Spindex and Tai Sin.

For my top 30 holdings, Wheelock Properties dropped out of the list after it had been delisted from SGX following the close of their buyout offer by its controlling shareholder. I had subsequently executed my Sales Right after delisting. Best World did well after some buying from institutional investors ahead of their 3Q18 results. Spindex returned to the list after their 1Q numbers showed that their profit margin had recovered as yield from newer projects had stabilized. Meanwhile, STI index stocks like SGX dropped out of the list as they were affected by market selldown.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AIMSAMP Capital REIT, Amara, Asia Enterprises, Bonvests, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Far East Orchard, Hong Fok, Hongkong Land, IHH, Jardine C&C, Koh Brothers, Mandarin Oriental, Pacific Century, Singapura Finance, Sing Investment & Finance, Tan Chong International and Wing Tai. I have also reduced my stake in Global Invacom and closed my position in Raffles Infrastructure.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Chew's Group. I have also executed my Sales Right to require the offeror to acquire my shares in Wheelock Properties.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue this month - Hong Leong Asia.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - China Everbright, Global Investments, Jardine Strategic, OCBC and QAF.

Next month will be another quiet one. As usual, I will have to catch up on my readings. I will also be looking to re-invest my proceeds from those cash offers and Sales Right back into the markets prudently. With markets having recovered a bit from the selldown this month, there will be opportunities to selectively add onto my confident positions but I will continue to position my portfolio defensively due to the higher volatility being exhibited by the markets lately.
