My Investment Portfolio (August 2023)
STI ended August at around 3233 points, down more than 4% as compared to last month closing. US government credit rating downgrade spooked the markets during the early part of the month. Also, Singapore GDP numbers came out below expectations and continued concerns on state of China's economy and property sector worried the markets. This plus raising bond yield and rating downgrade of US banks added to further market weakness. However, Singapore inflation data came out better than expected, which allowed the market to recover back some of those losses towards to end of the month.
For my top 30 holdings this month, Delfi did well after announcing a decent set of 1H23 results which beats market expectations but gave up some of those gains towards the end of the month. Hotel Properties also did well after getting approval from URA for their proposed redevelopment of their assets located along Orchard Road and Cuscaden Road. Among the laggards, Samudera Shipping continued its weakness in share price after announcing their 1H23 results. Wing Tai also traded down after they announced a profit warning ahead of their FY23 results. The Hour Glass was sold down after news that Rolex had bought retailer Bucherer. Meanwhile, Tat Seng returned to the list after announcing a higher than expected interim dividend payout.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AF Global, Alliance HC, Asia Enterprises, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Cosmosteel, EnGro, F&N, Frasers Property, Goodland, GuocoLand, Heeton, Hiap Hoe, Ho Bee Land, Hong Leong Asia, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, Huationg Global, IFS Capital, Indofood Agri, Jardine Matheson, Khong Guan, Koda, Lum Chang, Metro, Noel Gifts, OUE, Pacific Century, SBS Transit, Shangri-La Asia, Silverlake Axis, Sing Holdings, Singapore Land Group, Singapura Finance, Straits Trading, Tai Sin, Tan Chong International, TIH, UOA, Venture, Wing Tai, Yanlord and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.
I have participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - Jardine Matheson.
Next month will be a quiet month with not much corporate activities. As usual, I will spend sometime to go through some of those full-year result announcements that I have missed for companies with financial year ending 30 June 2023. I will also continue to seek value in the market and re-invest prudently.
