My Investment Portfolio (November 2018)
STI regained some of its lost ground and closed November 2018 at around 3117 points, slightly up from last month. Investors still wary over trade tensions between US and China while volatile oil price movements also contributed to the market's cautious mood. However, markets had been more stable this month as compared to October as Dovish US Fed comments seem to suggest that interest rate tightening cycle is coming to an end.
For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefing - Delfi, LTC Corp and Khong Guan.
For my top 30 holdings, Best World was my top holding for the first time as the stock continued to do well this month after releasing its 3Q18 results. Venture dropped out of the list after tech stocks underperformed this month. Amara and Yeo Hiap Seng were new entries to the list after I continued to add onto my holdings in these two stocks this month.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Amara, Asia Enterprises, Bund Center, EnGro, Far East Orchard, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Properties, Mandarin Oriental, Pacific Century, Samudera, SIA Engineering, Singapura Finance, Sing Investment & Finance, UIC, UOB Kay Hian and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.
I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Cityneon.
I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - AA Reit, Frasers Commercial Trust, Oxley and UOA.
Next month will be the last one for this year. How time files! We are reaching the end of what had been a very volatile year for stock markets across the world. It is a good time to do some review and reflections on my portfolio for the year and think through how to tackle the markets for the upcoming year ahead.
I take this opportunity to wish all my readers - Happy Holidays!

Hi Ghchua,
It has been indeed a volatile year. I wish you a happy holiday.
Ben
Hi Ben,
Yes, indeed it had been a tough year for investors. But volatility also comes with opportunities. Hope that you have follow through your investments despite markets being more volatile this year.
Hi Ghchua,
I adopt the dividend growth investment. I invest the fund into the designated counters on a monthly basis. The investment per counter is around $10K. This is a diversified investment portfolio in which the risk is spreaded amongst many baskets.
Given that I no longer hold a full-time employment since Oct 2018, I have to depend solely on the generated dividend to sustain the monthly expenses. So far, it has been a smooth-sailing journey for me. However, I maintain a prudent approach as it has yet to withstand the pressure of economic downturn.
I do not rule out side hustles (solely on the things which I am interested in) to generate some part-time income. Howeverm, I will only embark on such side-hustle because I want and not because I have. I do not pin on such income for the monthly expenses.
Only time will tell whether the above approach will last for the rest of my journey.
Ben
Hi ghchua,
Could you share if there were any interesting points raised at the LTC Egm?
Clenent
Hi Ben,
Sounds good to me. All the best to your life after full-time employment! :)
Hi Clement,
I think most of the stuff that had been raised were reported in the media. Most shareholders would have known that the offer undervalues the company but IFA said that it is fair and reasonable.
Let's see what minorities can do in the reconvened EGM.
Hi Ghchua,
Thanks for your well-wishes. I wish you all the best in your continued journey after your full-time employment. If I can recall correctly, it has been seven years since you quitted the rat race. You are a veteran on this aspect. I still have a lot to learn from you.
Do keep in touch.
Ben
Hi Ben,
Indeed, it had been more than 7 years since I first embarked on this full-time investment journey.
This year had been the toughest for me since I started doing this full-time. However, having gone through a few crisis when I was doing this part-time, I guess I am more prepared for it. Having said that, there is still a difference as I was drawing a salary last time but this time round, I have only my own investment portfolio to fall back on.
Therefore, I have positioned my portfolio more defensively this time round, with focus on deep value stocks. Granted, I might not be able to outperform the market when it recovers due to my more defensive picks, but I think protecting my capital is more important now than looking for more capital gains. Hopefully, my strategy will work out well as I continued to navigate these volatile times.
Hi ghchua,
do you know why which SGX listed stock gives the most frequent dividend? i am not saying largest dividend yield, but i mean the most number of times in a year. Example: say 6 times a year?
George
Hi George,
I don't remember a SGX listed stock that could give you dividend as often as 6 times a year, but there are some like SGX itself, iFAST, Silverlake, UMS, Fu Yu, SingPost, StarHub etc that gives out dividend around 4 times a year. A majority of REITs and business trusts also gave out distribution around 4 times a year.
Ultimately, I don't think it is the frequency of dividend payout that counts. But rather, how much they are paying out in total for the whole financial year.
