My Investment Portfolio (October 2020)

STI closes this month down at around 2423 points. As we moved towards the end of the month, markets had been sold down due to concerns on the result of the upcoming US Election, raising Covid-19 cases around the world and uncertainty of a second stimulus package in US. STI had fallen for the last 5 consecutive trading days of the month after a promising start during the earlier part of the month.

For my top 30 holdings, iFAST surged past the other stocks in the list to capture top spot for the first time. Accelerated digitization due to Covid-19, more retail investor interest as can be seen in the B2C segment revenue in their reported 3Q20 result and increasing trading activities due to volatility in financial markets had benefited them. CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust is a new entry in the list after the merger of CapitaLand Mall Trust and CapitaLand Commercial Trust had been completed. My holdings in both trusts had now been combined and therefore its market value is now the combination of them. Not much changes had been observed for the other stocks in the list.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Amara, Bukit Sembawang Estates, CapitaLand, City Developments, Dairy Farm, Delfi, EnGro, F&N, Far East Orchard, Global Testing, Hongkong Land, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties, Jardine C&C, Keppel Corp, Khong Guan, Lion AsiaPac, Metro, NSL, OUE, PEC, Penguin, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, Tan Chong International, Tiong Woon, UIC and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Teckwah.

I have participated in the following preferential offer - Frasers Centrepoint Trust. I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - Jardine Matheson and Jardine Strategic.

With STI continuing its downward movement, I had started to deploy cash into some selected blue chip stocks as they were being sold down ahead of the US Election taking place early next month. Volatility in the markets is expected to increase going forward and therefore I will spread my purchase in batches. I will also continue to add onto my list of value stocks, as they offer some protection in terms of downside risk for the entire portfolio. I will continue to remain cautious though and will reserve some spare cash in case markets went through another wave of correction after the US Election.
