My Investment Portfolio (December 2023)
STI ended the year at 3240 points, up more than 5% for the month but still down a bit overall for the whole year. Markets rallied in December as US Fed indicated that inflation had eased, paving the way for a sharper pace of rate cuts next year. As expected, rate sensitive stocks like REITs and property developers did well.
I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - abrdn Indonesia Equity Fund.
For my top 30 holdings this month, Frencken returned to the list as investors bet on recovery in the semiconductor industry. The Hour Glass and the two REITs (i.e. CapitaLand Ascendas REIT and CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust) also did well. Most of the other stocks in the list also recovered a bit, in line with the general market.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Asia Enterprises, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Bukit Sembawang Estates, Bund Center, Captii, Chemical Industries, Chuan Hup, Credit Bureau Asia, First Sponsor, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hongkong Land, Hong Leong Asia, Hor Kew, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Royal, IFS Capital, Jardine Matheson, Koh Brothers, KSH, Lum Chang, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, Nam Lee, Overseas Education, OUE Heathcare, PEC, SHS, Singapore Land Group, Straits Trading, Tuan Sing, Wing Tai, XMH, Yanlord and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.
STI ended the year on a positive note but underperformed significantly as compared to US market in 2023. For those who have invested in SGX, it had been a tough and volatile year. However, with interest rate expecting to dip next year, there is an optimistic mood around the market lately as shown in the recent year end market rally. Hopefully, this will continue for our local market next year. I will remain invested and hopefully ride on any upside while protecting my downside via careful stock selection and portfolio management.
Wishing all my readers out there many more returns in 2024. Happy New Year!
