My Investment Portfolio (January 2019)
STI started the first month of 2019 on a good note, up more than 3% from last month to close at around 3190 points. It had been a good month all round for markets around the world, with investors now pricing in a slower interest rate hike from US Fed this year and also optimism of some resolution of trade war between US and China.
For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefing - Frasers Commercial Trust, Frasers Centrepoint Trust, F&N and Frasers Property Limited.
For my top 30 holdings, UIC entered the list for the first time as property counters recovered some lost ground this month. Venture also returned to the list as technology stocks recovered from the sell down last month. As usual, I will selectively add onto some counters in the list whenever there is an opportunity to do so.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Amara, Bonvests, Bund Center, EnGro, GK Goh, Heeton, Hotel Grand Central, Isetan, Kingsmen, Koh Brothers, Lion AsiaPac, Low Keng Huat, Metro, Sing Investment & Finance, Tan Chong International, Teck Wah and Willas Array. I have reduced my positions in Camsing Healthcare and Halcyon Agri. I have also closed my position in Ouhua Energy.
I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Sunrise Shares.
Next month will be a very busy result month as most companies with financial year ending 31 December 2018 will be announcing their full year results. As usual, I will be going through some of these result releases.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Hi ghchua
Can I check what is your investing rationale for buying tan Chong international? Thanks
Hi Clement,
Tan Chong International is a deep value stock with assets like properties in their books. It is trading at more than 50% discount from its book value. Recently, they have issued a profit warning on unrealized loss of their investments which resulted in a sell down of their shares. I don't see anything bad about this as market fluctuations often resulted in movements of securities prices. I suspect those investments might be their stake in Fuji Heavy Industry (Subaru).
If you look back, the company have a decent track record of dividend payout and also solid balance sheet. Though its motor distribution business is tough, they have managed to maintain or even grow their business at a decent rate. This plus their cash level, investments and property assets meant that there is a decent margin of safety for this stock if things gets worse.
Hi ghchua,
Will you accept M1 tender offer?
Happy CNY.
Hi Sanye,
Happy CNY!
Most likely I will accept the M1 offer, since chances of a completing offer is now slim. Having said that, I haven't make up my mind yet.
Hi Ghchua,
Wishing you a blessed and bountiful CNY year.
Ben
Hi Ben,
Happy CNY to you too!

Hi ghchua,
A blessed and blossoming Lunar New Year to you!
Many unpleasant things have been happening to me that caused me unable to keep up with the stock investment last year. I have literally left everything untouched and statements unread. I do know something: that I could put aside this investment unattended: to look into matters that needed my full attention.
Life has its ups and downs at certain point of one's life. Either we face it or take the easiest way out: to run away from it. I tend to choose the former one. When it did not work out the way I wanted, at least, I could say, I had already put in 99.9% of my effort to resolve the issues.
It is always good to come here to read your comments monthly. It does help me at least to have a brief idea what the outlook is liked with your genuine sharing. I am still holding a substantial amount of stock holdings and they have already formed a part of my investment portfolio. To disassociate from it is easier said than done!
Hi Everlearning,
Happy CNY to you! Nice to hear from you again.
Indeed, life is unpredictable and certain things in life are definitely more important than one's investment portfolio. I am glad that my monthly investment update here on my portfolio is useful to you. Hope that you can resolve your other matters soon and return to investing.
Investment is like growing a plant. You can ignore it for a while and it might still grow. However, as time goes by, there might be weeds and insects around your plant and these might affect the "health" of your investment portfolio. Once in a while, it is good to look at them and clean up some dead woods. I have been doing this consistently since I started doing it full-time.
All the best to your investment and many happy returns in the Year of the Pig.
Hi Ghchua,
Let me share my views on the investment portfolio.
Frankly speaking, I treat the investment portfolio as one which will give me the generated interest on a regular basis. I do not bother with the ups and downs of the portfolio as my main concern is the generated dividends. I allocate $10,000 per counter to ensure that I am not exposed to a particular counter which suddenly plunges its share price. I made mistake in which I allocated about 75% of the investment proceeds in one counter. The counter dropped from the purchased price of $1.71 till the current price of $0.31. The regular investment in other counters has reduced the weightage to the current 45% of the investment portfolio.
The diversification of proceeds into various counters indeed reduced my exposure to the one counter.
The above circumstance reinforces the lesson in not relying too much on one counter.
Ben
Hi Ben,
Certainly, diversification is important. What I am saying is that as time goes by, there are some counters which does not make sense anymore to keep so it is best to get rid of them.
Hi Ghchua,
The market is dominated by the big players who can make the affect the share price at their whim. You are right to mention that the diversification is important. As for me, it makes sense for me to buy and hold for the generated dividends. I will rather spend the time focusing on my interest and hobbies. This is the way how life should be led as per my perspective.
Ben
Hi GhChua,
Can i check why you would want to accept the offer when the likelihood of them completing the offer is low?
Thanks.
Hi quek keng joo,
If there is no completing offer, most likely that the free float of M1 after the offer closes will be low. In fact, it might not be able to meet the 10% free float requirement stipulated by SGX to maintain its listing status.
Having said that, I still leave my options open as I have not accepted the offer to date. I want to wait and see whether they can secure 50% of the shares first, which will make the offer unconditional.
I will not accept the offer. It will be interesting to know how it is like to be a shareholder of the company which is delisted from the market (if it happens). This will be another new experience for me.
Ben
Many thanks GhChua :)
Hi ghchua,
Thanks for your earlier reply on Tan Chong International.
I was hoping to hear your opinion on whether you think Tan Chong International will ever realise the value of their assets like property and investment securities?
Thank you.
Hi Clement,
Unfortunately, for deep value stocks like Tan Chong International, it is really difficult to say when will they realize value. Ultimately, for these stocks, the reason why they are trading at a discount to book is because the market believed that its assets could not be realized in the short term. Otherwise, the market will not offer it at a discount to you.
What I can say is that at least with a discount to book, the stock's downside risk is limited, as long as the management did not destroy value.
We have to be patient with deep value stocks, with an intention to hold them for very long term. Otherwise, one might be disappointed with them and deemed them as "value traps".
Dear all fellow M1 shareholders,
As there had been some interest in M1 at this comment section lately, I would like to provide an update on my investment decision on the stock.
I have made my final decision to accept the offer. The offer had turned unconditional after Axiata had thrown in the towel. With the offeror now holding 76.35% of M1, the chances of them getting 90% stake is very high now. As this is a major milestone for the offer, I suspect the others will follow and thrown in the towel too.
Thanks GHChua
Hi ghchua,
My decision is in contrast with you. Let's see how it goes.
Ben
