My Investment Portfolio (August 2024)

STI ended August at around 3442 points, down less than 0.5% as compared to last month. Markets corrected during early part of the month due to a combination of factors - fear of US economic recession, Japan's rate hike, unwinding of the carry-trade and tech stocks earnings disappointments. Volatility had also increased significantly during the early part of the month. However, markets seemed to have calmed down after that and recovered most of its lost ground with lower volatility as the month progresses. Expectations of Fed interest rate cut had increased significantly.

I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - Isetan and Delfi.

For my top 30 holdings this month, Isetan was suspended from trading, pending the scheme being effective. Main contributors include the two big cap REITs in the list, due to market's expectation of impending rate cuts. iFAST was a main laggard but it retained its top position. Tat Seng and F&N returned to the list, replacing underperformers Metro Holdings and Singapura Finance. 

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - ABR, AP Oil, Chemical Industries, Chuan Hup, Delfi, EnGro, Far East Orchard, First Sponsor, Global Testing, Goodland, GuocoLand, Hiap Hoe, HL Global, Ho Bee Land, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Properties, Hotung, IFS Capital, Intraco, Low Keng Huat, Mandarin Oriental, Metro, OUE, SBS Transit, Secura, Singapore Land Group, Stamford Land, Straits Trading, Tai Sin, Tuan Sing, Tye Soon, Wing Tai, Yanlord, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - Mapletree Logistics Trust, Mapletree Industrial Trust, Starhill Global REIT and Boustead Singapore.

Next month will be a quiet month as the financial result reporting season for companies had ended. As usual, I will be focusing on my portfolio and looking at ways to seek more value in the market. With expected volatility ahead, I will continue to position my portfolio more defensively.
