My Investment Portfolio (May 2019)
STI ended May at around 3117 points, erasing almost all the gains built up since the start of the year. Bad news were all over the place. Escalation of trade tension between US and China, Brexit issues, Huawei issues, poor economic data etc were some of the news that surfaced this month. STI index stocks were mostly sold down, with banks being the main laggard. Technology stocks were also being sold down. The statement - Sell in May and go away, seems to be applicable again this year.
For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefing - Delfi, UOB International Growth Fund and Low Keng Huat.
For my top 30 holdings, Best World had been removed from the list after the stock had been suspended, pending outcome of its special audit. Keppel T&T is also out of the list after it had been acquired by the offeror via Scheme of Arrangement. New entries include The Hour Glass and SBS Transit. PM Data had been a major positive mover after they have announced a decent set of full year results. UOL, however, had been a major laggard following a sell down on STI index stocks this month.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Bonvests, Bund Center, Far East Orchard, GK Goh, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, LHT, Lion AsiaPac, Mandarin Oriental, Pollux, Singapura Finance, Sing Investment & Finance, Stamford Land, UIC, Yeo Hiap Seng and Yongmao. I have also closed my position in Sitra.
I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offers this month - Fabchem China, Kingboard Copper Foil and Sevak (partial offer). My shares in Keppel T&T and PCI had also been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement.
I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue this month - First Sponsor (Series 2 Convertible Securities with Warrants) and Frasers Centrepoint Trust. I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - AA Reit, China Everbright, Far East Hospitality Trust, Frasers Commercial Trust, Global Investments, Jardine Matheson, Jardine Strategic, Mapletree Industrial Trust, Mapletree Logistics Trust, OCBC, Oxley, Raffles Medical, Tai Sin, Tuan Sing, UOA and UOB Kay Hian.
Unfortunately, there had been a cash drag in my portfolio this month as dividends collected had not been able to reinvest back into markets as quickly as I would have liked to. With increased jitters in markets, I will continue to position my portfolio more defensively. I will also spread my investments more slowly in order to apply time diversification as well.

Is UOB Growth Fund a global fund or something else? Is it managed by UOB who has a good record? Is it a good time to go in or better go in in phases from long term view? Can use CPF? Which platform is offering better deal for fund, UOB, FSM or DollarDex?
If we look at property stock listed in SG, many are under book value, are you holding or adding it for hoping these stocks could be privertised one day as usually their dividend is so so?
Thanks
Hi ghchua,
I would like to hear your views on FSL trust under the new trust manager since their non-renounceable preferencial rights issue was just over.
Hi Sunny,
UOB International Growth Fund is a global equity fund. It is not included for CPF Investment currently as it is now in a process of merging into another global fund, United Global Quality Growth Fund. I think for a global fund, it is ok to consistently invest into it via DCA since they are well diversified. For platform wise, I think online platforms like FSM and Dollardex are low cost so should be ok to invest through them.
I think one should not only look at dividend yield when investing in property stocks. Various other factors like pre-sales numbers, discount to NTA, % of recurring income etc should also be in the equation. Privatization is a bonus when it comes. Otherwise, I think their asset backing offers a safety during bad times (especially for those with more investment properties rather than development assets) and therefore downside should be limited.
Hi Chong,
The new trust manager wishes to use the money from preferential offer to buy new ships to renew their fleet, since the current ones are getting older and might not be able to secure good rates going forward. However, I feel that they are a bit speculative since the new builds do not have contracts in place, and they have to look for charters themselves.

Never anticipated that AF could pay so a fat & special dividend, ah? Not sure if repeatable? what was the scenario behind? Was the payment on cash or script?
Hi Sunny,
If you look at the track record of AF Global dividend payout since Aspial and Fragrance took over the company, you would not be surprised of their recent payout.
The payout was fully in cash, mainly from the proceeds from the disposal of their Crowne Plaza London Kensington hotel in UK.
Hi ghchua,
I read with interest about Challenger not able to delist because of the unity of minority shareholders voted against it.
It is really heartening to hear of such news although I am not a shareholder of this stock. I rarely bother much of the movements in the stock market for over 5 years since that very year I thought I might have to bid my final farewell.
I am now experiencing another kind of challenges in life, but isn't this what life is all about? We may see the rainbows after the rains or we may not. Anyway, I know whenever I drop a line or two in the comment box, I am certain you always welcome me.
Hi Everlearning,
Nice to hear from you again. Indeed, it is the combined effort of minorities which resisted the delisting attempt for Challenger by the offeror, despite the IFA opinion that the offer is "fair and reasonable". Frankly speaking, it was a great effort by Pangolin to gather the minorities to make it happen.
Hope that you are dealing well with all the challenges thrown to you in life. After all, what is life without challenges? As long as we keep faith in what we are doing, I am pretty sure that we will be able to overcome all those challenges and came out better from it.
