My Investment Portfolio (April 2023)
STI ended April at around 3270 points, up a bit as compared to last month. The usual concerns on interest rate, inflation, recession and bank failures continue to occupy the markets. In Singapore, we have the added concern on the latest property cooling measures to worry about towards the end of the month.
I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - UOI, Hotung, Singapura Finance, ST Engineering, GK Goh, Riverstone, Global Investments, iFAST and Isetan.
For my top 30 holdings this month, GK Goh was out of the list as I accepted its voluntary general offer after it turns unconditional. Main movers include Jardine C&C and Global Testing. EnGro and Tat Seng meanwhile returned to the list. Not much changes was observed for the other stocks in the list.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Asia Enterprises, AsiaMedic, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Chemical Industries, Chuan Hup, Far East Orchard, GP Industries, Ho Bee Land, Hong Leong Asia, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, IHH, Isetan, Koh Brothers, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, MindChamps, MYP, OUE, Riverstone, Secura, Shopper360, Singapura Finance, Straits Trading, Taka Jewellery, Tat Seng, Trek 2000, Yanlord and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.
I have participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - Jardine Matheson. I have converted the following company warrants to shares - MTQ Corporation.
I have also accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - GK Goh.
With the busy April AGM period over, I can finally sit down and look at my portfolio more closely again. With impending headwinds like recession in the horizon, I will continue to be defensive in my portfolio positioning. May is a dividend month as many companies with financial year ending 31 December 2022 will be paying out their dividends to shareholders. Hence, there will be some cash drag in my portfolio again. With a difficult market to navigate ahead, I have decided to retain some of those dividends and increase my cash holdings going forward.

Agree with your comment at Singapura Finance AGM that its 2022 results were a disappointment.
Hi Jamesbond007,
I think the point I wish to put across is that FY2022 was a raising interest rate environment. If you cannot generate higher profit in this environment, then it could be much worse in a lower interest rate environment.
Their response was that cost of funding was higher and it is difficult to match deposits with loans. But ultimately, their NIM is higher and bottom line was impacted mainly by higher expenses and of course loan impairment losses, which is reflected in their still quite high NPL ratio.
Having said that, there is a price for everything. Though their performance was disappointing, it might have reflected in their share price already.
Hi Mr Chua, may i have your view on Ho Bee Land. Thanks.
Hi Unknown,
For Ho Bee Land, I think the main concerns are their UK property market exposure and also their high gearing. Recent announcement on higher ABSD for foreigners is also a concern.
However, there is a price for everything. I believe that their decent portfolio of investment properties should be able to tide them through this challenging period.
Mr Chua, thank you for the information.
