My Investment Portfolio (August 2025)

STI ended August at 4269 points, up more than 2% for the month. The stock market in Singapore had been tracking the half year result announcements of companies with financial year ending 31 December 2025 and reacted accordingly. Meanwhile in US, latest job numbers, interest rate outlook and trade deal with China had been closely watched.

For my top 30 holdings this month, most stocks in the list did well, tracking the broader market. Koh Brothers is a new entry and Global Testing returned to the list, replacing ST Engineering and Tat Seng respectively. Main contributors include Singapore Land Group, Hong Leong Asia, Multi-Chem and SingTel. Detractors include Sembcorp Industries, Hong Leong Finance and F&N.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - ABR, AF Global, AP Oil, Avarga, Avi-tech, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Brook Crompton, Bund Center, Captii, Chuan Hup, EnGro, F&N, Hong Fok, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Innotek, IPC Corp, Jardine Matheson, Karin, Koh Brothers, Metro, OUE, Overseas Education, Pan Hong, PNE Industries, Singapore Shipping, Stamford Land, Straco, Straits Trading, Tuan Sing, Venture, Wing Tai, Yeo Hiap Seng and YHI. No sale trade was done.

I have participated in the following preferential offer/rights issue - The Trendlines Group.

I have also participated in the following scrip dividend schemes - Starhill Global REIT and Boustead Singapore.

My stake in AV Jennings had also been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement.

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.
