My Investment Portfolio (August 2022)
STI ended August at 3221 points, up less than 1% as compared to last month. Rising geo-political tensions between Taiwan/US and China was the main concern during the early part of the month. Interest rate hike expectations by US Fed and inflation were also the usual concerns by the markets in the later part of the month. Volatility had increased again, as investors toggled frequently from risk-on to risk-off modes.
I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - Mun Siong and XMH.
For my top 30 holdings this month, Jardine C&C continued its good run to move up a few more places. Wing Tai was in the news after the company reported a set of full year results that is above consensus expectations. Samudera Shipping, though was a laggard in the list. Not much changes was observed in the other stocks mainly due to lack of news flow.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AP Oil, Asia Enterprises, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Bund Center, ComfortDelgro, Credit Bureau Asia, EnGro, Far East Orchard, Global Investments, Goodland, Hong Leong Asia, Hor Kew, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Royal, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Isetan, Karin, Khong Guan, Kingsmen, Lum Chang, Nam Lee, Ossia, Overseas Education, Pan Hong, Riverstone, Sinarmas Land, Singapore Land Group, Singapura Finance, Stamford Land, TC Auto, Tiong Seng, Trek 2000, Trendlines, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, Wing Tai and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.
I have participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - ESR-Logos Reit, Sabana Reit, Singapore Shipping, Stamford Land and Starhill Global Reit.
Next month will be another quiet month as companies with financial year ending 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2022 had completed reporting their full year and half year results respectively. As market volatility had increased again in August, I will continue to be cautious going forward. Market movements will continue be dominated by interest rate expectations and also geo-political issues. With so much uncertainty out there, it is certainly not the time to take big risk in the markets.

Hi mr chua
ComfortDelGro jus got dropped from the sti by ermperador which wasn't even in the waiting list. Whats ur take on this? Will such a move impact cdg as fund houses and institutions start off loading cdg? Thx very much
Hi 1,
ComfortDelgro had been in fact mentioned as a possibility of being dropped from STI for quite sometime, and this latest move came as no surprise to me. Short term effect yes, as ETFs and index funds tracking the STI would have to sell out the stock. But I don't see big selling pressure, simply because most of the active funds had not been holding big positions in the stock for quite sometime already.
Hi Ghchua,
Hope you are well.
Any thoughts about Yangzijiang Financials? Low P/B ratio and expected dividend payout of 40%, seems like a good value play here.
PS: I have read your blog for a long time though I stopped for a year or so. Have to catch up with all your past articles haha.
Stay safe and take care!
BT
Hi BT,
I am doing ok. Thanks for dropping by at my blog after an absence of one year.
I do have a small stake in Yangzijiang Financials, from distribution in specie by YZJ Shipbuilding. I guess the concern is really their lack of track record in Singapore, since they are transferring money from China to do investments here. The low PB might be an attraction, but I would rather prefer to stay with those investment companies with proven track record, the likes of Hotung, TIH, GK Goh, EnGro etc. I think with time, we will see whether they can prove the market wrong. But presently, I have no intention in adding onto my stake in Yangzijiang Financials.
