My Investment Portfolio (January 2023)

STI started the year with a bang, tracking global markets and advancing around 3.5% to close January at 3365 points. Investors are betting on soft landing and higher corporate profits, despite higher interest rate environment. However, some profit taking was seen towards the end of the month ahead of US FOMC meeting to decide the next interest rate hike.

For my top 30 holdings this month, Stamford Land was among the gainers after announcing completion of disposal of its hotel properties in Auckland, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia. Other main movers include Samudera Shipping, Sembcorp Industries and UOL (which returned to the list). The REITs in the list also did well. iFAST though, was the main laggard after announcing a delay in their ePension project in Hong Kong.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Asia Enterprises, Captii, Chemical Industries, ComfortDelgro, Cosmosteel, Credit Bureau Asia, GK Goh, Global Investments, GuocoLand, Heeton, Hock Lian Seng, Indofood Agri, IPC, Isetan, Khong Guan, Koh Brothers, KSH, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, Noel Gifts, NSL, OUE, Overseas Education, Sing Holdings, Singtel, Trek 2000, Tye Soon, UOL, Wing Tai and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Chip Eng Seng.

Having started the year with such a good run, the risk is now higher investing in markets. Therefore, I have turned cautious and slowed down my pace of purchase. Next month, most companies with financial year ending 31 December 2022 will be reporting their full year results. As there is a long list of companies reporting, I will only be going through some of those results. I will also continue to search for value and moderate my pace of investing.

Hi GH , I noticed that Metro somehow is still in downtrend / stuck near multi year low despite the recent bounce in equities
Do you know the probable reasons. Many thanks.

Hi bamboo,

I am not sure about share price movements. But certainly, their tenures for their Metro City and Metro Tower investment properties in Shanghai are coming down. This plus Covid-19 situation in China might have affected their revenue and occupancy in those properties. Other assets in UK and Australia are also affected by forex movements, which will affect their NAV when translated back to Sing dollars.

A big drag also for their investment in Top Spring International Holdings Limited, which affected by depreciating RMB against HKD and downturn in property development in China. Their other investment in Daiwa House Logistics Trust since IPO is also not doing well.

All in, I think investors are pricing in a weaker 2H result and also likely a cut in dividend payout as well.
